It's beginning to look like my dream might be affordable after all. In May, the Wargames Factory are going to release their Shock Troops range - sci fi greatcoat infantry as they describe it. The best part is that they're going to retail for US$20 for a box of 18 models (or AU$1.20 per model)
I can pick up a box of 10 Cadian Shock Troops for £10.40 (AU$1.75 per troop), just to attempt to protect me from the GW enforcers (apparently to be tournament legal, each model needs to be at least 75% GW). So mixing and matching the parts (along with some green stuff work) would give me at least 28 troops (which works out to be about AU$1.40 per model).
There's also some great gas mask heads available from Pig Iron Productions, so a couple of different sets of these could mix things up quite nicely.
Of course, considering how long I've been working on my Angels of Redemption, and I don't even have a single finished model yet, planning something like an IG army seems pretty ridiculous!
