I remember that a few of you Canucks mentioned getting some Mounties to use as Agents for local flavour at some point in the past.

Well, I discovered these fella's only today:

Quite a choice.

These figures are very stereotypical and on the border of racism ... I want them all! lol

Apparently ... I have a cousin, that I never see, which is an investigator for the RCMP. I think she work somewhere out west :?

IIRC these figures were previously made by HLBS
A CANADIAN local hobby store with a small selection of historical wargames miniatures (mainly from Warlords). They also have a great selection of paint and hobby accessories from Vallejo, Army painter, AK Interactive, Green Stuff World and more.; https://www.kingdomtitans.ca/us/

I used a bunch of Copplestone guys as Mounties in Season 4 of the LPL (Round 10) for a VSF theme entry:

Also, Pulp Figures by Bob Murch, do a great line of Mounties.
They really do add some great local flavour if one is going for the Mountie look as Agents.  :)

An arctic-themed Black Dossier featuring Mounties has long been on my to-do list.  Just have to stop distracting myself with other projects!

Those Tiger boys look the biz...

Some neat stuff in their catalogue, too.

It seems that there are quite a few Mounties out there.

Who's gonna bite the bullet and put together a Canadian team then?

Ah, the HLBSC 28 mm minis. I wondered where they went when the company opted to go all-in on bigger minis.
