Fantastic.
I can't wait to get my hands on them.  ;D
I don't know whether to be a good example or a horrible warning.

I intend to pick these up when they're released.  They'll fit in nicely with VBCW and Operation Sealion!

The crone looks a bit like Peter Vaughan.

So does the girl to her right if it comes to that. Not sure why but Somerset Maugham came to mind, whilst looking at the chap in the fedora with the cigarette.

Excellent sculpts and useful for a variety of purposes.

Nice to see some civilians for the period and very useful sets too… even though some of them look "too British" to be used as generic figures ;)

Dunno, with the exception of the schoolboy and maybe the vicar, I don't think they would look out of place in Berlin or Chicago. I'm really taken with the bloke smoking. I can see myself painting him in a cream suit and doing Fitzcarraldo.

They were the 2 figures I was thinking of when I first write this comment… looking back I also think that the whole lot is more versatile that I initially thought…

Lon @ Brigade deserves a nod for putting these almost matching miniatures on the market not too long ago. By the sculptor, I believe.

Hammers, which Brigade pack is that? I can't find it in a quick review of Brigade's website, although the utter awful terribleness of Brigade's website might possibly have something to do with that...

The Musketeer figures are excellent, I can see a Musketeer order in the near(ish) future!

In the Mob War range. The images are stacked in columns now so you may have to scroll to the right. Not an improvement, I agree.

Found them.

Really, whoever decided that pushing content off the right-hand side of the screen on the current version of the Brigade website - terrible idea. Really, it is.

But I'm distracting from the nifty Musketeer toys. (and will note in passing that Musketeer's website appears to be pretty useable)
