Yes, just one squad as it all I need to play Operation Squad. I bought the Warlord box with a friend so my squad only costed me 12 euros.
Thanks!

AFAIK only right arm and helmet, and not all of them. Also, some of them also wore their Spanish medals together with the German ones.
Thanks for the kind words.

I don't like these Warlord mini's thought. They don't seem to 'sit' right to me; they don't seem to be quite holding their rifles for example.

Post by: Mr.J on April 24, 2011, 12:28:51 AM: My only issue is the slenderness of the weapons. Would make them hard to use with other manufacturers and although they might technically be accurate they just look a tad too fine for me.

The painted minis above though are excellent! Great job.

Thanks!

if you had bought it from Maelstrom Games, you have paid 4 euros less!

I know, but I prefer to support my local hobby shop. Specially since I play there most of my battles :D
