Not the best paint job and I still have to finish the bases and touch up the paint here and there here are some Proxie Models painted as robots with a chaos space marine to show scale

Those look awesome!
What kind of glue did you use for that plastic?

Those work. Even better if they're inexpensive.

Cool. Are those the "Stealth Troopers" with alternate heads?

They are $8 USD per set of 8 figures, so yeah, fairly cheap for 28mm. I haven't bought any, but I can say that Proxie Models always provides good and quick service, and I'm happy with their other products.

If I understand correctly, these sprues come with about 3 different head types?

The Glue I used is tester plastic cement.

There new to the market, based on Ken's blog they were available as of the 22nd of Oct. link

I rushed my first post which is why I forgot some key punctuation but now that I have some time to review them I will. they are a buck a model as Ivan DBA mentioned and if you order $30 USD or more I believe it's free shipping in the USA. Each sprue make two figures,and you get three weapon types, a sniper rifle, a flame thrower, and a standard energy weapon. Each sprue also has six heads (three variants) on proxiemodels website you can see the one type and I choose these roboto heads, anyone remember Styx's hit Mr. Roboto? Anyway these heads remind me of the robot from that old music video so I painted them up as robots.

The Good

inexpensive, great to hoard build an army
good variety of heads and weapons
easy to use and assemble


the bad

Soft detail. especially the hands
lots of flash which is more of a minor inconvenience.

overall I happy with them.

Nice robots, though if you were to have the occasional human head on them they could do just as well as armoured troopers/SWAT..
