M[r] Hicks does do BEF era troops for Britain in the empress miniatures ww2 range.

Nice though they are, there are issues with the entrenching tools (told to me here: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=97132.msg1439207#msg1439207).

+1 to Squadron and Europa Militaria books, they have actual photos in them and not drawn renditions which helps a lot when researching colours or ways things were worn and used.

20mm

Yep, I looked at these, but the work involved to put right the webbing plus the puttees put me off. The upshot is that as far as I can tell, basically the Warlord Games 10 metal sculpts are the only accurate BEF figures out there. I find that amazing.

You've dropped enough Hints.

They look like they'll paint up well, I recognise the Empress tripod mounted, what make is the standing gun team?

They're from the same Empress pack; VG6. These and pack VG7 (panzerschreck) came included with the resin 251 halftrack.

Yeah they're nice figures, I particularly like the upstanding figure with the tripod on its back. Very nice detail.

They are very nice. I keep looking at the Empress LW range, and telling myself I don't need any (unconvincingly..)

cheers

Only thing holding me back is lack of funds at the moment.

That as well, though to be fair, my main impediment is realising how much unpainted lead is pending - and how slow my painting is at the moment.
