I've had my eye on EM4 for a while now, I was rather disappointed when stopped doing our beloved BattleHive cases a few years back.

Also worth a mention from EM4's Sci-Fi plastics range are:
Gangers (Ref: SFP2) which would be good for bulking out Necromunda or Urban War gangs.
Space Rangers (Ref: SFP4) I'd recommend to anyone wanting some cheap space-marine types for a Space Crusade type game.
Spacecraft (Ref: SFP8) is also a nice little set perfect for adding a few extra small ships to any starship game or at a stretch some of them could also be used as futuristic air craft in small scale games.

I myself, being more of a fantasy gamer, am looking at ordering some of their plastic Orcs and Dwarfs to see what they are like. At 20p each (or an amazing £7.50 for 50!) I figure you can't go wrong.

Finally if your one of our older readers and have kids that are getting to the age where they want to get into the hobby and you don't have vast amounts of money to waste on GW products for them to chew, squeeze entire tubes of polystyrene cement over and haphazardly paint in flat colours without an undercoat; I'd strongly recommend any of EM4's plastics for them to practice on without destroying your bank balance.

@Mark: Servitors are cyborgs rather than full robots so you'll need some human bits to combine them with. These minis make for nice 'cheap and cheerful' robots or mechs but wouldn't be my first choice for making Servitor conversions.

@Rob Great reviews, keep 'em coming dude!
