Sas, vehicle crews would be great, no weapons, but a standing gunner for 50.cal / grenade launcher and a sitting figure for gpmg and a driver. Too fit s&s vehicles.
It was good to see you at colours today, great show

I thought that the figures from Brooks (now carried by someone else...Old Glory?) fit the WMIK. No?

They do... Old helmet style though, and not as nice as Empress. The Brooks crew stops me buying a Sands WMIK. Nothing wrong with the minis in themselves, but I like the style of a force to be uniform (if you know what I mean).

Hi I have used Brooks for both my Wmik and Jackel from S&S, (both have been fetured in the galleries) and they are great, they fit in well with the rest of my platoon which is mostly TAG figures, but would love some SAS types for some of their other vehicles.

Another vote for Canadians or Australians (and a Taliban SPG=9)

Please, keep increasing your insurgents range, only 4 guys are not good option (altough they´re sweet)
Also, some modern troops with AK for Polish, Ukrainians, Estonians or Finnish would be nice.
Edit: Have you considered to sell spare weapons? There´s a lack of it in the marker (I konow TAG, but their AK47 are too chunky for some conversions) and everyone will thank some good M16 and AKs. Even G3, G36, Famas or Steyr Aug would be a great idea.

For spare weapons I suggest to look at the Iron Wind Metals modern range.
Anyway What I think is not very useful is a range with more modern US and British soldiers. There are enough of them!

Phobos is on to something - doing figures in Fritz Helmets and AKs could work for Poles, Ukrainians or Geoergians! This could expand the gaming possibilities immensely without having to do massive amounts of converting!

I ask for Italians! Then I ask for dutch, german, danish and poles and canadians and Australians. There will be more variety!

Wow, this thread has grown somewhat! We had a great show at Colours this weekend (hello to any of you I met) and a lot of new suggestions too. I can confirm that the next few packs are well underway, with the latest US pack finished and ready for casting. Of course you guys will be the first to know when I have something new for you to see!
