Field Officer looks great, nice simple and clean, and the SAS colour beret looks good. This suggests another good one to do would be the SAS officer with Arab Head gear that appeared in one of the BAF stories.

Meerkat also is good, the wide leg stance makes him look more dynamic than the majority of figures.

Panzer, great concept, the body armour looks good as well. Have you though of doing another version with a Helmet of some kind to use a gunner for the APC? Again the wide stance works well.

Assault Infantryman - another nice simple concept, clean unfussy figure.

All four look great, can't wait to see the Biogs!

Thanks Steve for posting these for me.

the helmet idea is a good one that i hadn't thought about for vrhicle crews. do you think it should be red like STEELERS or green to keep in the infantry colours?

heres the first two biogs.

Z FORCE ASSAULT PIONEER

Ex GERMAN ARMY combat engineer schooled in heavy front line fighting typical of German pioneers of WWII. Instructor in use of flamethrower and hollow charge explosives. Joined ACTION FORCE in order to put his skills to the test in live combat. Very tough mentally and physically, Panzer is always near the front to push Z FORCE through no matter if it means building something up or blowing it down. In his spare time Panzer studies the fortifications and architecture of the ancient world and holds a degree in Medieval Studies from Hamburg University.

PANZER CAN BUILD A BRIDGE OR BUNKER QUICKER THAN MOST ENGINEERS CAN KNOCK THEM DOWN........UNDER FIRE!

Nice Biogs, and the roles make a lot of sense.

As far as the helmet goes, I'm not too sure, a removable helmet would be one option, but otherwise you go for something like a repaint of Surfer's helmet. Colour wise Green is sensible, but red would match!
