There aren't enough Sterling SMGs out there either, a popular weapon in TV shows! Not so popular with those who had to use them. :?

Both officer and soldier would make terrific 28mm Action Man proxies...

Any chance of some more soldiers? I'd be up for a platoon's worth. Especially if you did a Mark V 'turtle' head variant.

Nice idea, but no plans I'm afraid. I am sure Black Cat do some already if that helps.

These are superb.

When your newsletter referred to further female scientific advisors, I guessed that one of them might for example be someone on loan from Cambridge to a United Nations organisation. So you had me fooled!

In the moment he is the most exciting sculptorer. One fantastic new miniature hunts the next one. Amazing stuff.

Well pop 'em in the queue. You'd only need half a dozen sculpts and I think you'd get a decent cross over market. BF are gping Col War this year and there are some other folk like UnderFire getting into 28mm Cold War ranges. I'd say it would probably worth your while.
Title: Re: Crooked Dice: Soldiers and Scientific Advisors
Post by: forrester on 08 March 2015, 09:27:48 AM: Whenever a new release is announced, we ALWAYS say "Great! And now can we have... "
Putting these new figures out, AND the characters released in January, within the same half year, is good going.
70's/80's style British are well covered by the Gripping Beast Falklands range, so I think CD might be best concentrating on high quality character figures and letting others provide the cannon fodder.
The soldier on the right I'm sure will end up with three stripes and will displace the Gripping Beast figure currently in that role.
They should keep their sculptor incarcerated in a secret volcano base however until he has made everything I want.

You don't say - one of my schoolteachers got discharged after he slammed one in a Land Rover door, shooting himself in the hip!
