Very nice, and strikes me with the sculpts available, it wouldn't take much for 1st Corps to turn out some BEF for early war.

I'd never heard of 1st corps. These look very characterful.

Oooh.. that would be tempting. I have EW Germans and French for Chain of Command, but I do rather fancy doing some BEF as well. It's surprised me how difficult (other than Warlord) they are to source in 28mm.

I do like the colour contrast of the hair on the uniform. Have a word with Simon as the lewis gun teams and Austin are cast.

Last of the packs (although I do have more on the painting table)...



Really hope Mark makes a few more; can easily see a pack of tossers - grenade, molotov, brick, paper aeroplane fitting in  ;)

They are nice figures well painted. However the home guard was not mainly made up of old men especially in the industrial areas. There were men who had reserved occupations who could be in there 20s-30s, there were men who were not quite fit enough for frontline service for one reason or another and lads like pike who were just under 18 waiting for call up. So early war British figures could be used for Home Guard not just dads army types.
