I recently bought some 28 mm plastic UAMC Marines from Defiance Games. They are quite nice, except there are only 3 different poses for the legs and that I'm not too found of their "roman style" helmets (but this is just a matter of taste). I will use them to portrait 24th Century light infantry (1D armor). I decided to keep them "generic" so they could be used for any army, regular troops or well equiped militia, or even to portrait some mercenaries (that's what I had in mind when I painted the herebelow figure):    The shoulder pads come from Starship Troopers figures, ammo pouches from GW's Space Marines and the head is from Wargames Factory's...saxons  Comments, feedbacks welcome.

Thanks for your nice comments Force XXI wrote: Thats a spitting image of Chuck Norris.
Actually it didn't occur to me but you're right, the likeness is...stricking  The specs of this positive Leader are: TQ D100+12 Morale D100+12.

Chuck Norris doesn't make TQ Checks - TQ Checks make Chuck Norris checks!  I think the figure looks great - excellent kit bashing, my friend! Excellent!

Cool work on both: The Marines and Chuck Norris!
But somehow, I miss Mr. T in this ...

Here is a small update, with some picts of troopers in hard (2D) armors. They are Pig Iron's heavy infantry. They are still wip at the moment - as you might have noticed the basing is not completed yet .

Very nice---the whole lot are great!
It's awesome how a few headswaps and bits from other kits can really change the whole appearance of a model. The pig armor war droids with human heads are particularly effective, as is the Kolonist sniper. Well done!
