I'm looking for some models for a new army, and I'm not having much luck.
As the title would suggest what I am after is Home Guard models, in 28mm (1/56) and I'm seriously struggling to find any that fit my needs. It seems to be in part me being a picky git, but there are a few main issues.
1: Home Guard models seem to fall into one of two groups. The first is best described by the phrase "LOL Dads Army! *licks windows*" and is either entirely based around that show, or at least the concepts suggested by it. These immediately get binned as I want a proper historical Home Guard, which leads us nicely onto:
2: Rifles. I'll accept I may being picky sod here, but nearly all the models seem to be armed with SMLE's, not P.14's. If I wanted them with bloody SMLE's I'd just buy the relevant mid war infantry models! In this category it seems the best options are 1st Corps and or Foundry.
The easiest way at current is to get Warlords games plastics, some P.14's from god knows where, and switch out the hats. But it seems like its going to be impossible to do that.
So if anyone knows of any 28mm home guard, with P.14's (and in this non-existent range there's a Z-projector as well...) can you please point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
