Oh dear... The usual hyperbole from Warlord...

'Best of all, the separate weapons sprue holds a veritable arsenal of weaponry and equipment'

Hmmm... That'll be a dozen or so rifles and machine guns then...

And on the single three-up shown, the right arm clearly doesn't fit at the shoulder properly! Doesn't exactly bode well...  ::)

Sorry to be so negative. You've got to hand it to Warlord for their all-out-frontal-assault on the entire Wargames industry. And when you chat to them in person, they're nice guys.
But I loathe the hyped-up, salesy tone of their publicity. The constant overclaiming and faux-teen naffness makes me cringe.

'an MP40 sub-machine gun has been added and (because they’re too cool not to include) an StG44 assault rifle!!'

Pass the sick bag, Alice.

They are nice guys and a lot of their stuff is fantastic, but you are right about their sales-pitch. Their GW roots really are far too apparent at times. Great for selling to teenagers, not so good for when old farts are the preferred customer. I tend to ignore their blather and just go by what I've seen of the products. I'm a big fan of their ECW stuff and my son likes their Romans, so that's good enough for me  :)
