Allot of their tanks are out for re-tooling at the moment, looking forward to them coming back online as well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2171259.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2171259.page GMT Bolt Action plastic British Infantry up for pre-order! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2171499.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2171499.page GMT Re:Bolt Action plastic British Infantry up for pre-order! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2171574.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2171574.page GMT Bolt Action plastic British Infantry up for pre-order!
I know the PBI can get a bit narked but I never imagined them going into a purple rage!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2171680.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2171680.page GMT Bolt Action plastic British Infantry up for pre-order!
I think the Germans, if the face sculps are similar, would actually look exactly like Nazi Zombies.

Which is either horrible, or awesome, depending on what you're building for.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2171713.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2171713.page GMT Re:Bolt Action plastic British Infantry up for pre-order!

The Krauts seem to suffer from "Germans only wore Grey" syndrome and bad face paint jobs. Their weapons look better than the British ones.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2173955.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2173955.page GMT Bolt Action plastic British Infantry up for pre-order!

Hmm now that you mention it the guns do look a little funny

Luckily warlord does have germans (mainly SS and fallschirmjager) painted in other colors than german grey ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2174001.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2174001.page GMT Bolt Action plastic British Infantry up for pre-order!
One thing you may notice is the Magazine on the Enfield is flush with the hands on the foregrips, it wouldn't be in real life as it is a Ten Round box. Even my Mosin-Nagant's five round box sticks out farther than the top of my hand on the foregrip.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2174043.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2174043.page GMT Bolt Action plastic British Infantry up for pre-order! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2175302.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2175302.page GMT Bolt Action plastic British Infantry up for pre-order!

Hmm imo they still look kinda small compared to their german weapons and iirc german ww2 rifles/etc werent all that bigger than british equipment

The metal weapons look bigger too (maybe its just me though)

You cannot make too thin a part with metals dependably.

I think it is a scale thing. Look at most 20mm plastics.

The weapons are tiny. But they are to scale, which looks wrong to our GW-adjusted eyes.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2175895.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2175895.page GMT Bolt Action plastic British Infantry up for pre-order! GW's bodies are also over-size making their heads look smaller. Once you are used to looking at GW's distorted figures, it makes realistic figures look strange by comparison.

Except Space Marines, whose heads tend to look realistically small because they are so tall.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2176082.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2176082.page GMT Bolt Action plastic British Infantry up for pre-order!

No the weapons look small because I've compared them to weapons I own and people I know own. The weapon scale is off.

Of course the same is somewhat true for a Marine's Bolter, its too large.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2176127.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2176127.page GMT Bolt Action plastic British Infantry up for pre-order!
I would get these models if I could find a cheapish source of better weapons to swap in, but as it stands, it's actually cheaper for me to buy a box of WWII metal figures from Crusader or the like. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2179753.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2179753.page GMT Bolt Action plastic British Infantry up for pre-order!

Hmm kinda true actually. Warlord Bolt Action plastics are a lot higher priced than other plastic lines. Maybe production costs are too high?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2179772.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2179772.page GMT Bolt Action plastic British Infantry up for pre-order!
And those MP40s are too big if anything ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2179794.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330507/2179794.page GMT
