Gents, Anyone have pictures of these 15mm figs? The website doesn't have any. While PP figs are quite good, I need to see them b/c I want to consider using some of them for Italian fascist militia (such as the beret wearers and perhaps the tricornes, etc) Thanks! Good to see such interest in the SCW. I've always wanted to play this period.

There is a great new range that is called the late queen, the figures are great full of animation and really nice detail. Peter the sculptor is working on new figs and should be around to answerer in more detail. There are pictures on the web site but do not do the figs justice.

well, how about a link anyway? It'd be nice to see them even if the pics aren't great. And the range is called "The Late Queen"? That's the name of the company? Thanks! |

found it, thanks! Figs look good, made some suggestions I hope are helpful. These should also be marketed as Italian WWII Coastal Division troops as they wore the Adrien helmet. Since WWII is so hot right now, it can't hurt to cross-market! Also, many people will suddenly become interested in an army if the figs are really sweet, and these are nice enough that I'm considering making a Coastal Division platoon or company for Sicily. One question I did have is that the CTV003 LMGs look more like variant pics of the riflemen in CTV002. They seem to be holding rifles, not the Italian Breda M1930 LMG. Or am I hallucinating?
:)
Also, a pack of prone, kneeling and standing shooters would be great. Best would be 3ea kneeling and prone, 2 standing since most people are hugging the dirt during fire support. Nice work, eager to see the line grow.

actually, I'll go so far as to say that if you make a bag of shooters esp prone and kneeling, I can see myself buying a company of these for both SCW and Flames of War!

Hi aa19003 Thank you for your feedback. Here are some quick answers: "They seem to be holding rifles, not the Italian Breda M1930 LMG. Or am I hallucinating?"
Yes and No – I didn't have the guts to add the magazine to the Breda lmg's for fear of them being miscast. This way the lmg's lost their most caracteristic feature, and I have been banging my head on the desk ever since. "Also, a pack of prone, kneeling and standing shooters would be great. Best would be 3ea kneeling and prone, 2 standing since most people are hugging the dirt during fire support."
Since my soldiers never go prone, they seldom take cover, but always ATTACK! wit ze BAYONET! – packs composed like you propose are never going to happen. Not for the SCW anyway. Cheers, Peter |

Does anyone have or know of pics for the beret wearing troops and the civil guard bicorne wearing guys? They are possible mixes for my wWII Italians (specifically fascist militias and carabinieri troops). a. |
