Empress Miniatures releases & previews.
« on: 24 May 2010, 09:11:24 AM »
Hi all.

We have some releases, which are SAS quad bikes, and some previews of some soon to be released US Army.

 



These are just a sample of the total number of figures to be released for the US forces. Due out in a couple of weeks or so.

















All are 28mm

Nice. I think the US Army types are a great improvement on the SAS, which to me, look a little awkward and wooden compared to say the Eureka recon figures. I'll have to splurge some cash on these when they come out.

I do wish someone would do some nice generic figures in BDUs plain Kevlar helmets, chest rig and AKMs. Something like that could be used for Afghan National Army along with half the world's armies, if it comes to that. Useful as generic OPFOR or as UN Peacekeepers.

I know right!  Or even as some of the Iraq police or Troops
