I had a good look around the Warlord stand hoping to see greens or an early copy of the book but couldn't see anything.

Took some pictures on Saturday at Salute. Hoping they will be on sale at Carronade.

Some, not all, of the minis are interesting but, what I look forward to are all the "strange", last resort weapons the British add... 8)
A CANADIAN local hobby store with a small selection of historical wargames miniatures (mainly from Warlords). They also have a great selection of paint and hobby accessories from Vallejo, Army painter, AK Interactive, Green Stuff World and more.; https://www.kingdomtitans.ca/us/

The equipment and vehicles look spot-on, even if somewhat anachronistic (the Blacker Bombard was only issued in Late-'41 and the Smith Gun in '42, for example). I admit it wouldn't stop me from using them.

From the photos though, some of the helmets don't look too good, even by Warlord's standards.  :?

Agreed it's a shame Warlord didn't contract Paul H to do the figures however Peter Dennis cover art for the LDV box is spot on for Sealion & VBCW

Quite happy with what  they have released so far (Other than the LDV, which aren't great) really love the Armadillo Mk.3 & Smith Gun.

Should go well with my Foundry HG.

Mutton chop and warlords dads army set where both by Paul Hicks, the foundry stuff is chunkier but about the same size.

Thanks, can't help with the Mutton Chop but the Warlords BEF and Dad's Army scale well enough with the Foundry lot.

Re: Bolt Action: Operation Sealion Minis expansion!?

Saw tis on te warlord games site...http://www.warlordgames.com/operation-sea-lion-gigant/, an expansion to operation sealion...not sure how to feel about this, on one hand it will mean more minis and lists and the campaign book felt short, on the other it feels like they are milking it somewhat.
