I ordered a large number of Demon World Bugs from the fine folks at Ral Partha Europe and they were kind enough to throw in a dozen of their new 1879 Victorian Alternative History infantry figures. These are in 1/100 scale or 15mm.
The troops are armed with Lee Metford rifles. These have a small optical sight on top of the weapon. All the figures have fixed their bayonets for close action.
Each of the figures is protected from the hazardous atmosphere of the battlefield (whether the black smoke of the Martian Invasion or the thin atmosphere of Mars itself) by a respirator mask.
The dozen figures I got are in six unique poses. One in an NCO pointing with one hand while holding his rifle with the other. He is well animated and looks the business!
The two standing figures, one firing and one with his rifle at the ready are also both excellent. The three advancing figures, two with their rifles on the shoulder and the third readying for the charge are also well executed.
I look forward to seeing this range expand in the future.
Nicely Done Ral Partha Europe
