The B.E.F, however are not such a straightforward decision. I really, really liked the Crusader Minaitures early war British. Whilst not marketed as B.E.F. they are lovely figures and look the part except for the lack of a gas mask case (and pretty much all the photos of the B.E.F. I've seen have them with gas mask cases....
The Warlord B.E.F. figures do come with the gas mask case but I must say I am not that keen on the photos I have seen of the miniatures and the random nature of the box may give me a prone Bren team, something I am not too keen on (a personal whimsy)...
So do I buy the Crusader figures and try and add some Green Stuff gas mask cases, or go with Warlord, even if the figures aren't quite as nice? Problems, problems...
E're we go Green Stuff e're we go
ReplyDeleteI prefer the Crusader figures myself.
ReplyDeleteI can't see the point of Warlord buying the BEF Miniatures line and then replacing them with those figures... It would be Crusader for me too.
ReplyDeleteThe Crusader WWII range has some weird features, for example some of the minis have hands twice the size of their feet. However they have a lot of character and you can free mix them with the Artizan ranges (also from Northstar).
ReplyDeleteWarlord for me... they are harder to paint. harder to assemble, harder to clean (often loads of flash) and casting can be a bit random but overall they have a lot more character about them.
ReplyDeleteNowt wrong with prone Bren gunners. I usually fired the Bren from a prone position
