I don't know of Mike Mondragon or Iron Core but I do know a good looking sci-fi stormtrooper when I see one (and maybe, just maybe, these guys can actually hit something they are shooting at; unlike their white-clad Imperial namesakes!). Wargames Atlantic has released this set of twenty minis; molded in a hard medium gray plastic these reflect a very high degree of detail but exhibit no flash or noticeable mold-lines. The surface detail on the weapons and armor (which might even stop a random blaster shot?) is very good. The minis come with fully enclosed helmets (for folks like me who hate painting faces) of a choice of some characterful faces. The proportions and posing of the minis is good and there is room for modification of the poses. An interesting and affordable option in comparison to the "other Stormtrooper" models currently on the market.

box with contents, four identical sprues
sprue, side A
sprue, side B
good faces, I particularly like the bemused expression n the guy in the middle
realistic-sized guns
(side-eye at 40K)
excellent surface detail on the armor
back packs look like they are a manageable size too
plus lots of cool accesories
even the faces of the helmets are well done
An excellent option for someone looking for stormtroopers without spending a ton of money on copyrighted models. These are also sized to fit with other 28mm figures rather than the towering 35mm+ stuff from the other sources. Great detail, good poses, and excellent buy in my opinion.
Highly recommended!
