Thanks, apparently there are four new packs about to be released: kneeling with rifles, PIAT teams and blokes with Stens...

Really? I might have to place an order then, might even mix with the Warlord Games Late War Brits in metal. Empress makes really lovely figs! Looking forward to seeing painted examples from you as well though!  :D ;)

Thanks for all the encouraging feedback; these have been great fun to paint.

Good news, I sent an email off to Empress!

Also finally got hold of some suitable bases for the prone Bren team:

Thanks, I think I'm now a convert to thiner MDF bases. If any more of these get released I'll put them all on something similar, probably redo the others...

Thanks very much for the 'heads up' Paul.

I had a look and found the new pictures on the FaceBook page; really looking forward to getting more of these, they are an absolute pleasure to paint.
Sent another order via email as the web site 'place an order' bit is still not liking me...

Curiosity question: Is the idea that the trousers can be painted as either standard Battle dress brown, or as the camo windproof over trousers?

Cool!  :o They look brilliant, I especially like the loader who rest on the PIAT ammo tin.
