OK... OK... they're jump packs, but I like Turbo Packs better. Check out the new retro-style jet packs from MaxMini!
I would imagine these are designed to go with the Steam Knight heads and the mechanical hammers, both of which I've pictured below...
What's the verdict guys... are you making a retro-marine army?

This would be my only gripe with MaxMini really, that theres no indication if their uprgrade parts are best suited for marine or guard bodies. Had this issue with Scibor too when i bought the lion pauldron conversion pack. They only worked on terminators and not standard Marines. Two purchases i was unable to use for their original purpose for lack of… Read more »
