Finally finished my British Airborne, these are lovely 28mm metal figures from Warlord Games. I initially purchased a 1/3 of the figures at MOAB bring and buy and later purchased the rest of the force directly from Warlord games. These figures have been sitting on the lead pile since 2018 waiting for some attention.

CHEERS JOHN
Happy new year! These look lovely indeed. I will try to paint mine on 2026. What do you think about the plastic figures by Warlord?
ReplyDeleteHappy new year Enzo and thank you for your comment, I do prefer the metal paras figures as the proportions are more realistic compared to the plastic paras which are more Heroic scale.
DeleteThose are some great looking airborne John! Happy New Year!
