I got a choice today and picked the 8th Army, just built them. Not keen on poses on one foot as it makes fixing them to the base a bit faffy and there are 3 in the one sprue of 6. Nice figures but not as good as their US Airborne. Don't think I'll be splashing out on an army just yet.

I didn’t think they were as good as the Perry’s ones

No, probably not. Perrys seem small to me. I had them but sold them on. I know they're properly proportioned but I like a chunckier figure for my WWII.

I picked up the one with the Afrika Korp sprue on the basis that I have no use for men in shorts. On reflection I don't really have a good use for them either. They will be available at Ayton. If anyone has any spare turban heads from the Imperial sprue I wouldn't mind carrying them away for conversion purposes.

I like a bit of variety among my skirmish game figures and different turbans on Ghost Archipelago figures looks good,
