They look rather good. More, slightly different poses would be nice but they'll certainly do 

cheers

Shame about the 'do or die' sword accross their backs, otherwise they could have done service in a few locations.

[OSHIROmodels]

Should be easily convertible. You could even put a bed roll in its place 

cheers

Nice to see him back on 28mm. Wonder what brought that on? Let's hope it heralds a return to the groove for Mr C.

IIRC some of the Chinese DoD figures came with seperate swords... maybe that's the same here

[Ignatieff]

ordered.  Smashing.  Will do for lots and lots of armies.

[Stu]

I wonder if there will be a command group?

Nice figures and a must for my Warlord army BTW.

When Copplestone releases something, there is always the question, if he will do more for this. The List of my open stuff of copplestone is as long as the nile....

[Von Stroheim]

Brilliant - hope that these are the first of some  new editions - Tibetan regulars perhaps.

You're a funny man

They certainly look like they are seperate but the straps etc are on the figure, I suppose you could have rifles slung on their backs instead.

I'll be honest it's not an area I know a huge amount about but it seems an odd thing to put on them. While it does a good job of saying "these are BoB figures" it alienates them from anything else. I'm sure some russian troops did pick up big heavy chinese swords, but I would expect the majority to have held on to their sabres as a point of pride, particularly if they've managed to keep their uniforms in good condition.... I find it hard to believe there were whole units/whetever that decided to take up that sword.

[Stavros]

This is true...especially when you take into consideration that the Chinese swords in question were poor quality and badly counterweighted compared with say the Russian Shaska or other sabres.

[Mark Plant]

Surely you chop off the sword and replace it with a rifle or carbine.

Is that a machine-pistol on their right hips?

[Stavros]

looks like a Broom handled Mauser.

[The Dozing Dragon]

Where has Mark been designing recently?
