I normally walk on by when webshops don't put up photos of their minis, in this day and age, but this time I might dig a little deeper. Does anyone have any of H&R's 6mm colonial british? What do you think of them? Have you got any good photos? Ta.

I have NWF, Sudan and Zulu War. What are you particularly interested in?

They're typical H & R: well proportioned, such that the effect from the usual sort of gaming viewing distance is convincing, with skirmishing types in a decent variety of realistic poses. There's none of the unnecessary detail, and grotesquely exaggerated proportions required to achieve it (hugely oversized heads etc.), of more modern brands.

Zulu Wars, please! Thanks.

I was going to go with Baccus for a while, but the 'oversized heads' thing is exactly why I decided to look elsewhere. (I could live with it, but I also want to mix them with another, more realistically proportioned range) From what small, general H&R photos I can see online, I agree that those proportions look much better.
Thing is, I'd also like to recreate the classic two rank volley fire arrangement that Baccus sells - would the figures in the skirmishing infantry pack allow that? I'd guess not. Heck, I can't even find how many figures you get in each pack. It's frustrating!

I've only bought Modern and WW2 figures from H&R - there are roughly 50 infantry per pack. H&R have been a pleasure to deal with whenever I've ordered.
