I've just noticed these new figures from the 'Giants in miniature' range. They look pretty good.

Excellent. Glad someone produced them but very much a minority interest.

Brigadegames have them for some years now (out of stock at the moment).

I like these more but I'm a fan of this style (I believe Mike Owen from Artizan Design).

The brigade ones are probably more use as higher level command figures but these are more useful for getting stuck in the action. Nice to have the choice. Always good to have more leaders/officers for head swaps and variety too. You can get get away with having the ranks be the same few repeat poses but repeated leaders in 28mm looks wrong. IMO. Especially when the poses are more interesting and unique.

These are superb figures. Anyone know who designed these? I feel a commission or two coming on….

Has anybody received these yet ? I ordered them some time ago.

Just ordered mine today. Will let you know if/when they arrive

I wrote to them on Feb 26 as I hadn't realised it was a pre-order. Ian wrote back the next day apologising for the delay. There was a problem with the mould from what he said. I've not ordered from them before, so no idea how long these things take. At least he wrote back, unlike Redoubt/Grubby Tanks who haven't delivered my order and are ignoring my contact attempts.
