8111 WWI Canadians/British Infantry

Nice surprise i like the look of these,

Sorry, to make it clear currently we are only exploring heads or different types of heads.

Were the Portuguese in WWI?

How did they ever get dragged into the war, being on the end of Europe and separated by Spain. Guess I’ll have to read up about them

Wonderful figures which are much desired. I will buy certainly some boxes.

My remarks:
The officer should have really a helmet...
I a missing hurtful a marching pose. The soldiers were much more marching than shooting. One pose would been very helpful - eventually instead of the kneeing pose.

1. Officer with Brodie (pity cannot change the 'pigeon shooting pose!)
2. Gas mask on face with tube to gas mask holder.

Some rifle grenades poses? I have been searching for British rifle grenades for years, but there are not many, or even none.
In the WWI US boxes, there is a rifle grenade, in WWI ANZAC heavy weapons, there is rifle grenades, why do not we include one for the Anglo-Canadian?

Another pose maybe the Lewis team or Vickers team on moving. It is not a really good idea, but considering the box is really huge, maybe include some is acceptable?

Fur coats. If it is Canadian, they may have the fur coats for winter, so a figure or two with fur looking coat will be pretty cool, and makes the set so unique.

Changeable heads can be included, with the cap, the Brodie with its linen covers, gas mask with Brodie, and maybe a head without any headwear.

-----------------------------------------------------

Some unrealistic ideas, but will be super cool to see:

The cool feature can be brought from the WWI US Infantry box, the changeable weapons for the tripod. Vickers machine gun of course is the option, but some other weapons can be adopted.
For example, the 1.59 inch QF gun, a British infantry support gun, similar to the French 37mm. True, it did not serve as a real infantry support gun as it intended to be, but it will be cool to have them.
Another weapon can be Lewis. I know, Lewis should be a light machine gun, but when 1916 it entered the service, it served as a Heavy Machine Gun first. At that time, a light machine gun is not a common idea, the British Army has no idea how to use Lewis. The first few Lewis was sent to the Heavy Machine Gun units and mounted on the tripod. Later, the units reported Lewis pool performance comparing to Vickers HMG. From that point, the British Army realized it is a mistake to use Lewis as a HMG, but a portable machine gun instead.
And the last weapon can be Hotchkiss, or Colt, or M1917. They are used by Commonwealth forces in WWI,but really limited. But it is not necessary to be the same as the US WWI box, we can have only two or three changeable heavy weapons instead of 4 in the US box.

Body armor, should not be included, but I just wanna see it. Both sides used a lot of body armor in the war. Anglo-Canadian captured many German ones, and some officer may wear the British designed body armor.

Huot-ross automatic rifle never entered the service, but it is a cool and potential weapon. On the trials, it was almost unstoppable against other competitors such as Hotchkiss or Lewis. It is a great weapon, with minor flaws which can be easily fixed, and cheap! It is so cheap compared to Lewis.
Farquhar-Hill rifle is another example. It is a semi-auto rifle which was performed well in the trials, ready for production, 100 thousand was issued, but the war ended, and its fate was the same as the Huot-ross.

Trench raiders, I mean basically someone with melee weapons instead of holding a rifle. Many trench raiders were used during an assault, they may carry pistols, but mainly melee weapons and grenades.
