Glad you like it. I thought the movie and miniseries both had some good things
and some really awful things (the 'thopters in both being one of the awful
things).

You're probably right. I didn't do a lot of research for the 'figs. I remembered
that the Harkonnen all had red hair, so I thought I'd play on that.

Again, probably right. I was just going for something that looked scary and
invincible - but a real Sardaukar wouldn't need all those armor and weapons.
