Ooooo, I like those. Especially the kayakers in the Kleppers. |

but they are not "new" … they are old Bolt action models … from the pré-Warlord erea :o) |

For USD$50.00 you get the above and a German MG team in behind a couple of sandbag emplacements. Ouch! |

50USD does not seem outrageous – how many are they expecting to sell – at most 2 sets per customer I'd say. Furthermore they're only really going to appeal to people planning a special game. So while it is a lot I can see why. And 28mm gamers are not trying to game 'on a budget' or they'd use 20mm or 15mm figures!! |

A couple of the poses look too modern to me, the two handed pistol pose and the advance with the sten high in the firing position makes them look more like members of a swat team than 1940s commandos. |

Humm!… maybe you are right my friend. Amicalement Armand |

Looks a little odd I agree but these guys trained hard and long and probably worked out the best ways of doing things long before modern special forces copyrighted them. |

Yes and one of those hard learned lessons would have been you don't walk round with a cocked Sten gun unless you and are about to fire it. Take a look at this training film from WW2, they seemed to used a lot of bolt action rifles but I suppose they weren't cool enough for todays wargamers . YouTube link |
