The old eye-popping emoji conveyed it better, I think... ;)

There's at least 2 rule sets I'm aware of, one is a minis style game, Was play-tested at some cons here and another Warhammer based one that is scaleable from minis to models.

Swapped the Zakus and Feddies to see how they look with the difference in lighting/background.

The camo schemes do match better... I think I like this set up best! :)

Looks like art straight out of some of the Gundam Mooks, like the different era reports.   Looks great!  I just finished a S Gundam Booster, and may build another kit, as the cold wet weather has any spraying on hold

Feels like it could've been lifted straight from the source manga/anime.  Very well done, @Chanman.

Also funny because aside from the RX-78 on the side, these are mostly mooks! The EZ8, Ground Gundam, and Gouf might be kind of on the edge in that regard, but the rest are squarely grunt suits - aka mooks (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Mooks)

I was using the Japanese portmanteau of Magazine / Books, like the Gundam Weapons series or the war chronicles.  🙂
