Nope. I have used the suggested listings provided on p99 an p100 of Road to Baghdad. Doesn't list a GPM, sniper, LAW, RTO etc at all. Each fireteam will have the LSW and SAW So I have re-created the fireteams as listed, put a GPM and RTO/Medic with the platoon HQ and then added Sniper and spotters so you can 'boost' the units as needed. The LAW's can be added using the KIT10 set (British Patrol pack with weapons stowed) unless demand is such that I make a firing set. I am going to make a Bergen KIT pack as well. The set of 4 lads with Berets on are made

I am looking forward to the British! Any chance of crew figures? I happen to have some Jackals, Vikings, and Mastiffs that I intend to use with my Elhiem minis  Cheers Andy _________________

Most likely not for the 2003 range, but definite for the Osprey range. More WIP as of end of today. Odd day, did a bit of sculpting, did some painting.... 2003 Brits converted to Beret heads to allow for placement in the normal troops to identify them as Royal Marines, Paras etc  Brit sniper with boonie and radio headset. Pose based on photo in country.  3 Recon figures, 2'nd sniper based on the same photo. Bareheaded except for radio headset rifle is silenced  2x 2003 Minimi Brits to go with the new Fireteams. Devgru figure in background (trying out Multicam picture colours are all out though.)  4 to be cultured Gentlemen of Venice.  Multicam? Photo is way to green, real figure is alot more Tan. Still, gives you an idea. Tim inspired me to have a blast at this :blush:  IDF platoon HQ 1982, I painted a Star of david on the Prayer cap of the Radio op, should of taken a photo really :doh:

Very nice sculpts! The sniper looks awesome. More US Army is great news indeed, one cannot have enough And your Multicam is totally stunning and I certainly will give it a try now myself. Just the right inspiration for the weekend! Cheers Andy _________________

The Brits are really tempting, especially as they are my faction of choice for WWII gaming. Unfortunately, right now I'm working building the forces for the " Marching Up Country" set of scenarios in the Road to Baghdad book. I still have lots of USMC and various ME insurgents and regulars to get painted up (not counting several vehicles) before I think about branching out. Then I'll have to decide between Elhiem Brits or Elhiem US Army...

Right then, a load of new Iraqis done (bit dull though, weapon crews etc, so no photos at mo) However, here are some photos of the latest cast and WIP: 2003 British Army: Minimi Gunners :   Snipers:     Beret Brits to either have as patrol or to paint up and add to units with helmets to denote Royal Marines, Paras etc:   Modern US Army in IOTV:    And some WIP... Black Hawk Down: Delta Force (initial casts so i can use the heads)   Helmet detail:  Somalis: Locals with AK's (very WIP)  Mob getting Angry (very WIP)  Finished Somali woman:

Stunning work!! I will definitely buy them all..! The British are great already but how cool are those US Army and Delta guys.. And with those Somalis a Black Hawk Down project is simply a must. Will you be doing some specific Ranger miniatures as well or are the 2000+ Marines meant to stand in? I hope they all will be available very soon Cheers Andy _________________

I am currently working on my 2003 British and am very much looking forward to the new releases for this range. Is there any chance to get some Bravo Two Zero kind of SAS guys at all? With Bergens and M16M1s etc? That would be a great scenario to play methinks Don't you? Cheers Andy _________________

Don't you? Yup, very cool. The SAS will be made, not right away though as concentrating on BHD . Bergen is already made, pending a release
