Wookiees!!!... or gorillinators?

In Heroscape, one of my favorite armies to play are Agent armies. But... a common unit in a lot fo agent builds are the Gorillinators. The gorillinators are basically high advanced apes. Well because to be the actual figures would cost me a fortune, I had to find a sub for them. I found *drumroll* some cheap wookies at TrollandToad (http://www.trollandtoad.com/) and bought 3 multiples of 3 different sculpts. I got the Wookiee Scouts, Freedom Fighters, and Soldiers. They were extremely cheap ($.49 each), which is why I love TrollandToad. Here are some pics:

I got three of each of the figures in the pics and it only cost me $6.62 including shipping!

I am currently digging around for some Heroscape cards using the minis I bought. I already found a card for my Soldiers.

Heroscape Agent Paints

I was looking for something to paint, and while looking through some boxes of minis, I noticed that I was missing one of the agents, which meant I had 1 full squad of three, and two extras. I decided it was a sign and they required a simple paint so I decided to start with the extras. If I didn't like I what painted, then I would scrap them and use the regular ones. However, as it turned out, I did like them so now I just have to paint the black agent. I have some pics of the first two in comparison with the old ones below. As you can see, the original ones (the shiny looking ones) had horrible paintjobs with no real painting techniques at all. I use these guys for all my sci-fi games plus my own rpg I've got cooking called DND2K (modern setting).

I will post the last agent when I find the time to finish him.
