Electro-static truncheons.

I don't care much for those, but I do like the rifle armed chaps alot. ;D

Will they be available separately?

I have to agree whole-heartedly.

I was holding out to see the Old Bill and really like all the others, just not the cattle-prod lads.

May have to go back to the original plan and go with Currs boys.

Unless someone out there (UK preferred) fancies taking those bobbies off of my hands in a trade?

I REALLY like the rest of those Coppers....they are great!

Actually the Constables are armed with the cutting edge in active law enforcement the English All-Electric Truncheon.
Arriving in an armoured steam carriage, and led by the intrepid Inspector Bullrush and pugnacious Sergeant Mallard, they are quite a tough customer for any ne'er-do-well to face.
The Constables are equipped with a Lined Coat and Pistol, as well as the shockingly-effective truncheon. When facing suitable foes they can also draw Vulcan Coats from the Divisional Armoury.

Not knocking your ideas, Craig, which all sound well thought out and very interesting, it is just that I was hoping to use them as 'standard' Bobbies in other games.
That is the reason I asked for shots of the sculpts from other angles, as it may be really easy converting them.

As I said, I LOVE the other sculpts, so would like to have this set if conversion would be simple.

Standard police uniforms from the other sides. The two figures with their arms out have the power unit and cable as a seperate piece, so the only thing you'd have to do is fill the plug hole on the body they connect to. The two with their arms down you'd have to cut it away, but their is nothing else on the rest of the body.

Thanks, Dean.
Much appreciated!

No probs :)

I'll be taking mine to the painter (Chillwind) today. Doubt he'll get them done for Salute but some have been taken by one of our guys so there will be some at the game.

Four bobbies with All Electric Truncheons and one Chief Inspector Reid (I am sure he would get promoted by 1895!) painted today for tabletop usage. The others are being started tomorrow. As Dewkabuk said, easy to convert the uniformed ones and lovely sculpts to paint. Worth every bit of counting I had to do!

Mason, if you get to Salute, come over and have a game of IHMN, see Mr. Dallimore's amazing work and my measly efforts, then head over to Great Escape Games and see what they have. We have gone from a demo to a parti game, with missions to partake in and the opportunity to practise the art of Derring Do or Dastardly Doings!

I would love to, Grimjack, but I dont think the evil Messrs Bibbly and Mute will release me for long enough to do that.

I shall have to escape and have a peek!

Shhh!
Dont tell anyone.
