They look lovely though I really hope the prostrate are in a separate pack to the kneeling/standing.

From Facebook "Fallschirmjager latest.
These codes are off to be moulded. They include one of 3 x mg 34 teams and one of AT rifle team, 50mm mortar team plus a sniper and spotter. The first four codes should be out in a couple of weeks."

[Silent Invader]

Thanks very much Helen.  I 'need' 4 MG teams and 4 out of 6 works for me.

Just spotted this in one of the Facebook comments:

Hello Seth, a 37mm will follow and probably a recoilless rifle.[snip].

Prone figures can be awkward gaming-wise.

Yeah, I tend to ditch them

No probs Steve. I prefer kneeling or standing, but will use the odd prone miniature as suitable for basing as a FO or similar.

If Michael doesn't get around to making some sort of panzer grenadier then I'll use a different head with the FJ figures if they are suitable.

Very excited about this!

I will most likely pick some up -- but I don't get the excitement.... FJs sculpted by the Perrys have been on sale of years and years through Wargames Foundry and very nice they are too. I am hoping these new ones will fill the gaps in that range.

The main difference being that the Perry style has moved on to an arguably more dynamic style and that the new models are true 1/56 and not 28mm.

In the aforementioned FB comments the Perrys are asked if these new minis will match Foundry and reply:

I haven't checked the size comparison but i'd imagine these would be a little taller but less chunky.

Which might matter to some and be irrelevant to others, though of course neither extreme is right or wrong.

This is a great addition to their WWII range with a very "Mediterranean" usefulness. A great and solid range. My only complaint about Perry Miniatures is that their metal miniatures appear to be unfinished, very different to their old Foundry models.

How do you mean unfinished Juan?

Interesting point. I have a lot of Perry Foundry and Perry Miniatures Perry, and in my personal view the Foundry versions are better in quality though I have no idea if that is down to sculpting or casting. I don't have any of the Perrys' new WWII stuff so I don't know how it is in terms of size...

On their Sudan range some of the casting quality is iffy in terms of detail like faces... and on a lot of them it seems like they got to the feet and just couldn't quite be bothered finishing the model and it ends up with tiny detail-less lumps instead of feet in boots...
