So i ended up with three ziplock bags of FOW guys. I have had them for around five years and as i have been doing some prespring cleaning i though i might pull um out and try and figure out what the heck they are. I got them Years ago in a big box full of War at sea stuff from a buddy of mine who was closing down his Hobby store. Wow and it seems that i can not figure out how to post the pics but they are in my gallery.
Thanks in advance for those willing to try and help.

I see at least a 4.2 inch mortar section, a section of the static rocket artillery (can't remember off the top of my head what they're called), a panzerpioneer platoon (Goliath and panzerknackers are dead giveaways). BTW, all German stuff, though I couldn't tell you if it's Mid-war or Late war.

You also have some medium mortars and a lot of gun and artillery crew (but no guns)

The prefect example of someone missing the point.
Do not underestimate the Squats. They survived for millenia cut off from the Imperium and assailed on all sides. Their determination and resilience is an example to us all.

Its just a shame that they couldn't fight off Andy Chambers.

Most of the stuff there can be used for mid or late war, The Rocket launchers (28cm sWG41 Rocket Launchers) were put out for late war though.

That's a lot of rocket boxes!
Have you looked at the units in BF's online store?

the square rockets:
The mortars w the round bases are the 12cm heavy mortars
The smaller mortars look like 8cms
The angled shields look like the ones on the US M15 37mm combination mount AA halftrack

So this is what i think i have so far
http://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=517
http://www.flamesofwar.com/Default.aspx?tabid=55&search=ge817
And four or these sets
http://www.flamesofwar.com/Default.aspx?tabid=55&search=ge591
I just haven't been able to nail down the exact small mortat set i am assuming there are two sets of them as i have ten mortars but the few i have looked through i am missing the command guy.
