Very nice. The Thugee look very useful.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

Very useful for lots of projects.
Middle chap with a sword looks reminiscent of Sean Connery...

These are now in store:

http://www.crooked-dice.co.uk/wp/product-category/00-new-releases/

Bolo serves the Guru as his master trainer and personal bodyguard. His regime is so demanding that some participants do not survive the experience. Bolo uses his entire body as a weapon, as those who have come too close have found out to their cost.





Thuggees are devoted to the art of killing the enemies of S.H.I.V.A., striking without mercy and disappearing back into the shadows. Expert masters of sword, throwing weapons and garrottes, Thuggees coat their weapons in poison, such that a mere scratch can be fatal.



Plus you can turn even the most mundane Minion into a turbaned terror with this set of three Thuggee heads!



All sculpted by Andrew May and painted by Simon Bradley.

I love that Bolo figure. Great releases all around, but Bolo is brilliant. :)

former user - these were based on our masters, so honestly not sure as I don't have any of his VSF figs to compare against. Andrew usually hangs around here, so can probably answer though.

that's why I asked the question, as on Your FB page it says "sculpted by Ian Mountain and converted by Andrew May" or so..  ;)
I own some of his beautiful VSF heads, nevertheless had a size issue with them
