great work on these. I enjoyed following the update on the blog

They look great well done.

OMG!  Those look fabulous!   That camo is outstanding!

[NickNascati]

Beautiful work on those.  I know I will have to order some soon and get back into moderns.  Would I be very incorrect if I painted them in the sand/brown camo?  I prefer the look of that to the multi-cam.

Lovely paintjob!
I've only ever tried splittermuster before and that was hard enough, but I can appreciate the work that has gone into these. Do you have any camo painting tips?

[juergen c. olk]

Very impressive paintjob.That is a lot of patience.

[NurgleHH]

Great paintjob! One question, do they use such a bright green in afghanistan and irak? Which green is it?

[Paleskin]

That's some camo work right there!
Excellent!

[Keith]

Wow!   

[Lowtardog]

Stunning camo

Nick strictly speaking its the new MTP uniform and Mk7 (I think) Helmet so it wouldn't be in Desert DPM only MTP, however the differences are in pocket placement, seams and cut etc so if this doesn't bother you too much try it and see what you think.

Dougie,
            Thanks, are they using the multi-cam currently in Afghanistan? 
            I assume you are playing Skirmish Sangin.  If I ordered a squad of British plus maybe a support weapon team or SF tram and maybe a dozen Afghans, will that do for most games?

You can SS with 8 Figure. That will give you two fire teams if i remember correctly. You would be best getting a list of the figures from the rules as the weapon types needed are split over the Empress packs.
