Yeah that's what I was gonna use them as but you might use 2-3, not 10.
One landed one as scenery, park it outside a space bar. Make one or two wrecks, and use any others for orky conversions.

Some of them look a lot like Turians, if you're super into Mass Effect for whatever reason.

I thought that but looked closer and the faces are way too different. They've got the weird backpack-thing though.

Looking at them gave me immediate re-bending panic attacks, so yeah. I expect they're restic. Those kits were awful.

Question, do fantasy minis usually use square or round bases? Especially those produced for tabletops. Everything I see tends to be on round, but I know that WH used square, and I'm honestly not familiar with a lot of the games.

Watch some of the battle report videos. It helps. Beasts of War, Miniwargaming, and Guerilla Miniature Games all put out decent batreps. The ones that Beasts of War did for the USAriadna release (with Carlos) do a good job of explaining the rules during the game.

Depends. Skirmish games use round bases (Saga for example). Ranked games often use square or multi basing.

I'd recommend round basing but buying movement trays which let you rank up round bases. That completely covers you.

Honestly I can't even keep track of all the games out there anymore.

Most of the futuristic/sci-fi ones seem to use round.
Most of the fantasy, low-tech ones tend to be square.

They're from the first DZ kicstarter, and though they're made of restic, only the Goblins aren't that great in it. Restic is suited to bulky minis, and the Orks are just bulky enough for it to not be a problem, the Ripper Suits and Hulk especially so.

This is exactly the kind of thing I would produce if I painted minis, which is a big part of why I don't play games that require the painting of minis.
