I always loved the Flames of war "infantry crouched low/bent over advancing under fire" poses, was wondering if any of the figure manufacturers had any plans to bring anything out in that style, or is it not a popular style?

Its a pose I like too, prefer my infantry 'moving' done a couple so far will try and add a couple more but I suspect its not popular as it can be a pain to cast sometimes.

I like that style, too, Gunner.

I know that it would probably be more "realistic" or whatnot to have them all prone, I think the "advancing under fire" looks more dynamic.

One thing is when you hunch over you can cover up a lot of the detail that makes the figure look cool….

darthfozzywig,
Your right the PBI have always spent their time either walking somewhere or digging in the mud when they do get there.
Ive always wondered that I havent seen any sci fi stuff in foxholes ( maybe Im not paying attention) I dont care if its a PGMP or a slug thrower Id be happier with as much soil as possible between me and it lol

Hi Mr Harold, your troops aren't to bad, currently in 15mm sci fi yours are probably at the most dynamic end of the scale,I do hope to pick some up one day, most other lines are standing/walking, or in "lite" dynamic sort of poses, thats not to say they aren't great products, as has been said before we are in a golden age, but I would welcome an even more hunched over look, like "if I pop my head up, its going to get blown off" look, it may be as Extra Crispy says, covers to much detail.
