Thankyou Cdr, they will certainly assist folks who have a keen eye for the BH Belgians.
Best wishes,

Minor clarification on Helen's post: cdr's photos include both Battle Honours and Brigade Models Belgians.

Thanks, Will. They look grand, and much less effort than head-swapping. Reckon I'll get a few of those when they come out.

In my opinion they are lovely. Probably the nicest sculpts out there at the moment. The only possible downside is that there is lots of fiddly detail on some of them. I found their early war Germans more difficult to paint than, say, Renegade's, and they certainly took me longer to do.

Though I think it is sort of churlish to list "highly detailed" as a downside. But some might see it as such. They are truly wonderful figures, though.

They are really great minis. They are big and, as far as I know, more historically accurate that some other brand.
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/

Do you think they are big? I think they fit in with both Renegade and Brigade, and if anything are slightly smaller (and more slender) than both of these.
