The plastic British colonials convert easily to Praetorians and you can purchase bits quite inexpensively on line. Plus, the cost of these minis is less then you will spend on GW product. Once painted, unless you lift up the mini, it's difficult to tell them apart (unless you have actually seen the original Praetorians).
I really need to update my website. I've completed the Praetorian army now and all vehicles have been painted as well as all minis. Added to the army and not seen here are six baneblades, 10 vals, 9 bassies, 9 griffons, plus the 3 companies of leman russ, and 3 mech companies.

I am a big fan of the Praetorian Guard as one of my all time favourite films is Zulu. I am having abit of trouble finding the odd figure or two. I am trying to build a 50 man strong platoon (40 painted to date) and add a heavy weapon detachement. I have searched ebay and have drawn a blank. Could anyone make any suggestions on the hit list is 1x Autocannon Loader 2x Lascannons and 2x Heavy Bolters. I have looked through the photos on the site and look forward to posting pictures of the 122nd Praetorian Rifles.
