the wwi figures look a lot like the 1967 figures, so not nearly as good sculpts as the current battlefront wwii figs. |

Well, mein Herr..beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Therefore I have to disagree entirely :-)
The WWI range is thankfully well sculpted and hopefully to be expanded in the future.
But I do realise that WW2 Nazi panzers are so much more appealing to some so we will have to wait and see. Cheers SP |

"But I do realise that WW2 Nazi panzers are so much more appealing to some so we will have to wait and see." didn't say the wwii models are better sculpted because there are "nazi panzers" in the wwii range. ive seen the 1967 up close and if these are anything like them (and they seem to be) they are definitely inferior sculpts to the wwii models. i can see why they cheaped out on the minor periods, wwii is their meat and potatoes….. |

Good Aryan, perhaps a little biased towards the German side? Comparing these to 1967 British really? I totally disagree these are fantastic WW 1 figures and think they are way better then what is currently out in 15mm. Wait I just saw your current post, are you saying these are from the other range? If si big deal, they still look great for Ww1. |

If you haven't actually seen them in the 'flesh' you could actually spend a tenner and get yourself a platoon of -British- infantry. Indeed the nicest 15mm late WWI figures I've come across and I'm happy to take them if you don't like them!
I haven't got any Huns as yet so I am unable to make any statement regarding their quality. Cheers SP |

"Good Aryan, perhaps a little biased towards the German side?" relax its just a play on words :-) "Comparing these to 1967 British really? I totally disagree these are fantastic WW 1 figures and think they are way better then what is currently out in 15mm." no idea what 1967 british are. their 1967 models are israelis and arabs and they are not nearly as nice as their fantastic new 15mm wwii models. but as i said i can see why the more marginal periods for battlefront would not get the same sculpting priority….. |

Not to give all your products the same attention would be a very poor business strategy indeed.
At least in my book. Thankfully Battlefront did realise this here. I'm not entirely sure what product exactly you mean with 'fantastic new wwii' but I dare say the WWI range is equal in quality whatsoever. Cheers SP |
| Heinz Good Aryan | 22 Aug 2014 11:00 a.m. PST |
i mean these, not the older ones.
to me the 1967 arab-israeli infantry, and the wwi figures, look like the older figures, so not as good as these nice new figs…… |
| GGouveia | 22 Aug 2014 11:09 a.m. PST |
Yep those new plastics are quite amazing. These new WW1 figures are nowhere similar to the 67 Jordinians at all. 67 Jordanians are similar I think to their first generation Mediterranean British infantry. |

Desperately need rifle grenadiers and light machine gunners for all armies! |

@Heinz Guderian
Mini Bolt Action figures ;-)
Well, if you like Commando Comics..
They are certainly better than BF's Early War stuff, granted. I still like the first generation metal Germans better. Particularly the Winter Germans. Or the British Paras.
All a question of taste. Cheers SP |

@Light Horseman
The rifle grenadiers and light machine gunners are in the basic infantry platoon packs |
worries about not losing his rules stuff.
