Very nice stuff. Captain Caine from Victoria Miniatures I recognise,  :)
and one figure from Lord Curr's Company
And I particularly like the figure reloading the shotgun/grenade launcher.
The pith helmet heads with goggles? Where are those from?

Still, a chap ought to look smart in front of the men, don't you think?

The woman is from Reaper Miniatures, the poster-figure for their Chronoscope line.

thanks for commenting Tas, I somehow missed these back in April - rather spiffing aren't they?

I know these are 30mm troops but how do they stack up against the usual 28s?  Noticeable? Or usable as a separate unit?  Might make a good Guards unit against other 28mm range perhaps?
