A little short to be A Certain Fellow?

These Certain Fellows have been a badly kept mystery.

You get five in a pack, with separate heads. There is a pack with a commander and two heavy weapons troopers.


The figures were cleanly cast, but the heads were frustrating to attach (I just used cyanocrylate). I was lucky not to drop a head whilst assembling them, and I'd never have found it because tiny. I had thought I'd go for a white undercoat and paint the creases etc. black, but changed my mind and went black undercoat with white armour plates.

The helmets are beautifully detailed, and, though frustrating, the separate heads give you a lot of variety with identical poses.

The problem is, they're small. I'll still game with them, but they do look a little on the short side. Here they are with some Space Pals.


Overall, they do capture that iconic look and are instantly recognizeable.

  3. Nice paint jobs. Alas, I suspect with their lousy aim and un-inventive tactics they would not last long against those xenos. Fortunately, the Empire would have no qualms about nuking the site from orbit. As for the scale issue, one of the Space Pals is the perfect height compared to these guys... it's the other Space Pals who are oversized compared to him.

    Just a suggestion, maybe you could remove the actual word "Stormtrooper" from this post, having it and "those certain fellows" googleable together just increases the chance someone will get in trouble for them :/

    1. I've taken your advice, but I can't change the original URL. I don't really like all this nudge nudge wink wink stuff, I just want to paint...

    2. In your defense, I used the words together in my comment too. Being nudge-wink is hard work ;)

      BTW where did you get the flooring graphics for the first, and last couple of pics?

    Well maybe someone should not have broken the law if someone does not want to get in trouble.

    1. Mmm. I've got my own thoughts, and I don't know the legal ramifications (if any). I usually go to TMP for better informed opinions.

      Thanks for commenting!
