Nice. But nearly 40 somethings.

Ultima-Play-the-Game (Didn't do the Horace series though if I recall) made some kick arse games for the Speccy.

Sorry, very off topic!

Arf, you're right. So much for that memory.

I'd go with their Jet-Pac game for a working costume personally. Jet-Pac and lazors. Very Vanu LA? (back on topic!)

Yes. They are "hollow", they withstand a full hopper from a paintball marker at ten feet chrono'd at over three hundred FPS (lenses as well), they have functioning ventilation, built-in radio with PTT-remote line, and they have a remote line that connects to a camelback. Everything that runs on batteries is also remoted to a plug box in the back of the dorsal ridge, which in turn plugs into a braid of cables (colour-coded) that comes out of the Space Marine backpack.

I have another two in production, these two are both two-tube variants.

Not with 40k gear. I make that for myself *cough*orviadiscretionaryemails. Games Workshop generally sues the everloving fucking shit out of people who attempt to make money off their IP.

Also, if you wanted to make your own armor, you could use (if any of you has one.) a 3-d printer to printout the individual armor plates. Would probably work best for TR and NC. The cheapest 3-d printer I've seen is from a company called "solidoodle". 600$. You could also print ou the pieces to make a rifle. I think that could be of use.
