This is really more of a showcase for a custom group. I spend a lot of time and effort creating these guys, and I hope you see that my effort shows. Unfortunately, being that there are twelve custom enemies in the group they take up far too much file space to be practical, I just don't have the heart to delete them though. Please enjoy this one off mission until file sizes are (hopefully) increased.
