Not too bad. So, like 15-20 models and we're on something like a platoon-sized skermish? Its a bit more than what I would comfortably put money aside for (how often are these armies updated? GW really p'd me off be redoing their codex books all the time)... but I do like the models.

You can use this to convert:

The prices arent too shabby when converted. I like a few £11 pairs, but I only need a model for myself and my gf, then a few aliens and people for npcs and beasties 
Also, are these models pre-painted at all? The scale is perfect for my deckplans but I find some of the colours used a bit garish and bright.
I'm after a more Dead Space and Event Horizon uniform colour scheme - bronzes and rusts for metal, dull colours for material, more natural hair colours)

There are some models under the Ariadna army that would be perfect for Vargr characters, specifically the Equipe Mirage. There's another figurine of one of the "dog-warriors" characters wearing a kilt, Tearlach McMurrough (on the Mercenaries page). Could make an interesting character for a game.

Those miniatures are huge, you could be better off looking at Black Hat miniature at the Cobalt 1 line and the Ar-men, only problem is pants, but thats better than a giant, IMHO. Somewhere on the net is a review of the M5 blister with a scale picture of the dog warrors, very similar to the Rackham wolven minis in scale and size.

I was refering to the Infinity Vargr proxy, I'll try to update my blog with some scale pictures for reference with the Metros and others.
I took a few scale shots:

I’m not real happy with the Governess of Technology mini; they seem to suffer from some proportion mistakes, extreme thinness. This happens when an inexperience sculptor forgets to take in account shrinkage in the mold making process. Easy to hide with picture angles, but really someone should of mention this in the reviews.

The classic scale for Traveller miniatures is 15mm; and, luckily, in the last decade or so, this scale has enjoyed a renaissance of sorts, and there are A LOT of minis available.
First, there is 15mm.co.uk, which provides both the classic Laserburn range AND very good new miniatures, from starfighter crews through shabby mercenaries to armed cultists and various aliens. Highly recommended!
Second, there is GZG (http://shop.groundzerogames.net/), who provide a ton of 15mm minis, vehicles and terrain, including a proper ATV!
Third, there is Khurasan Miniatures (http://khurasanminiatures.tripod.com/adventure.html), who have several very imaginative sculpts, including "Aslan" in Powered Armour.
Fourth, there is RAFM (http://www.rafm.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=RAF&Category_Code=GRAV), which has some of the old "not"-Traveller minis available for purchase, including (but not limited to) Vargr, Aslan and Droyne.
Fifth, there is Stan Johansen Miniatures (http://www.stanjohansenminiatures.com/15mm.htm), with loveable Lizardmen and "Bearmen" who can very easily be painted as Aslan.
And sixth, there is Critical Mass Games (http://www.criticalmassgames.com/) who, in addition to the quasi-Vargar Protolene, have a wide range of suited/power-armoured troops, miscellaneous aliens, walkers and grav vehicles.
Hope this helps!
