Thanks and great! Are you planning, by any chance, doing a version with a Lewis Gun, acting as a squad support version?

Judging by the people who volunteered since these, they'll be an eccentric or two in the next round too.
Leadboy ,Page 2 both home guard issue and jacketed.

( Theres a lot more to follow over the year.

Picked them up yesterday at Hammerhead....

Initial impressions are that they are even nicer than the pictures. Casting is lovely, they're a smidge bigger than Mark's previous sculpts, I think, and it really suits them - it really is only a smidge and they'll fit fine with Artizan/Crusader et cetera.

There are some delightful little details like the one holding a crafty fag and the aforementioned slippers.

I'm away next week but couldn't resist getting started on them last night....

I bought them too, plus both versions of the Austin 7 and both motocycle combis, and a Universal carrier...in fact all the money I made on the Bring and Buy went to 1st Corps! They are nice figures and full of character.

How do they look next to Warlord? Not thinking of mixing and matching within units but they may work alongside each other!

Glad you like them.
The frist four packs may be a bit alarming for some as mentioned the majority are taller than 28mm foot to eye. Only one in four is.
This isn't representative of the entire range. Rather the fact that the Laffer's 'volunteers' are lanky compared to the average height of 1930-40.(roughly 5'8").Infact one Laffer's grandfather was 6'10" !
The figures in the initial release have all the kit scaled for 28mm foot to eye . So they look tall rather than oversized.This is easiest to see in the firing pack as the taller figures make the weapons look smaller and their kit isn't so conjested .
The majority of the tall figures are in these pack as they're the ones least likely to be mixed with other's
Guard duty etc.
The more active poses (smg's, advancing, etc) are all 28mm with the odd taller figure mixed in.
This range will continue to have real scaling rather than. Just be 28mm unit builders. Because people aren't one height.This varriation helps represent the odd ball mismatched nature of the home guard.
Plus there's a few un expected packs to follow
