Who's who in the UK boxes?

[lastbesthope]

OK, I picked up a Challenger box, a Warrior/Command Section box and 2 British Infantry boxes at the Open Day.

Can someone who knows help me know which model is which? Thanks.

1) Infantry box:

1a) OK, as they come in the box, the 2 guys on the far left are the Minim armed troops. (They have different guns to the others) Yes?

1b) The two guys crouching seem to be the ones with the underslung grenade launchers, yes?

1c) That leaves 4 standing troops, 2 with rifles at the shoulder ready to fire, 2 with their 'five irons down' as Hicks might have said. Which are the Corporal/Lance Corporal and which 2 are the ordinary troopers? Thanks

2) Warrior/Command Section box:

2a) The radio operator will be the guy with the pack on his back crouching?

2b) Again, one guy with rifle at shoulder, one with the weapon more in a downward position, who's the Sarge and who's the Lt?

2c) The warrior will be the big green thing on the left :lol:

3) Challenger box:

3a) The..... nah I'm not even going to ask this one...... :roll:

Thanks in advance for your help.

Evil says:

1a) Yes
1b) Yes
1c) 'Aimers are the riflemen, the other two are the Corp and L Corp (interchangeable in rules)

Any help with Q2?

Well you could look at the labels on the bottom of the bases... :lol:

 

[Mr Evil]

well not all the boxes at the open day had figs with labels on the bottoms of the bases.

infact so far none of mine did, wich for isnt a great problem but for some like LBH it may be a problem.

for those of us at the open day that picked up stickerless figs, is there going to be a sheet of stickers we can get out hands on ?

 

[Low Roller 1-1]

LBH if your command section don't have stickers on them.

The Sgt is the one with his rifle up and the Lt has his rifle across his chest

 

[captainsmirk]

Oh for the days when a sniper could pick out the officers from a mile off...

LBH if your command section don't have stickers on them.

The Sgt is the one with his rifle up and the Lt has his rifle across his chest

So the Sgt is the one doing somthing useful and officer is the one wondering if his medals will require a new butler for shine purposes

These figs are nice and i've noticed the prepaint quality is better on these guys then the inf. and the Warrior, awesome

The Chineese officer has a really nice pose and is easier to spot.

chineese oficer ? what in the squad box ? out of 3 boxes i cant spot the chinees oficer !!! or are you talking about the command section with the FAV ?

 

[127th Angry Angels]

The officer (not NCO) in the command box, with the Map. Suppose the map is a bit old school when you have FIST technology

 

[Mr Evil]

needs tobe kept simple if they start to shoot down ech others satalites

also maybe a electronic tablet with a map on display

Hi guys,

Hopefully this week (time permitting!), we will have the singles for wave 1 available on our web site - you'll be able to see at a glance then which models are what.

From wave 2 onwards, all models will have a sticker on the underside of their bases.

Its a dirty job but someones got to do it, much like talking to LBH :wink:

Yay, someone's being slated who isn't me!

Hey guys,

Y'know though I took the scenery blocks out the boxes I haven't undone anything except the Warrior (Hot water will be applied later).

I'm torn between having minis I don't need to paint, and my other main anal retentive feature of not taking action figures out of the boxes. AAAARRGGGHHH!!!!!

Thank for all the help, it seems to be in general that the higher the rank, the less ready they are to fire, radio packs being the exception :lol:

Yay, someone's being slated who isn't me!

F!

Hi guys,

Available for purchase? Or just available for identification?

 

[lastbesthope]

Well I had a look under my Command Section (Wave 2) and there were stickers, but noithing under the Wave 1 infantry.

DOes anyone have Wave 1 with stickers? I'd like to know what the 'kosher' text should be to put my own stickers on the bases.
