So I'm just about ready to start an infantry company as Finland, and I've looked at PSC Germans and Battlefronts Finns and really can't see much of a deference. Also from looking at BF Soviets and PSC Soviets, PSC seems to have better sculpts imo. So can I use PSC Germans as Finns?

Not really, the webbing is different for a start and the helmet shape isn't the same (there may be enough soft caps in the PSC box though). They are also armed with different weapons, the most obvous problem is than a MG42 looks nothing like a Lahti/DP LMG.

You could of course use them as we are talking about 15mm infantry so they will only really be noticably wrong if seen up close. It really depends on if that bothers you and to a lesser extent the people you play with.

Personally I just used the BF models, they aren't that bad

Really. I didnt see much difference. Guess ill have to either spend 300% more to use battlefront Finns or find a third party.

I don't think there is anyone else who makes 15mm Finns.

Resistant Roosters also makes 15mm Finns, but I think their prices are comparable to Battlefront's, and Battlefront's Finnish range is much more complete.

The upside is, Battlefront's Finnish range has some of their best sculpts, so you'd have a very nice looking army, and it'll still cost you less than an army for a GW game.

As a Finn player, I definitely agree with everything that's been mentioned. BF's Finns are truly excellent sculpts and are worth the investment.

The alternative is playing a Finn Pansaari (Tank) Co. or Sturmi (StuG Assault Gun) Co. with infantry support. Zvezda makes nearly all the Pansaari for $4 each. You can buy T-28s from Game Models for $5. That leaves the BT-42 and Anti II from BF. BA-10s are coming from Zvezda this summer.

2 Boxes of PSC StuGs will make 1000pts of Sturmis.

T26s are awesome.

Legions East also makes Finnish infantry.
Quick Reaction Force does a few Finnish vehicles (BT-42, Anti, BA-10 come to mind.)
Resistant Rooster also does infantry.
