Late War German Heavy Artillery Crew
« on: August 23, 2017, 11:20:59 AM »
I'm looking for some crew for a HLBSCo "Big Bertha". Any suggestions?

Thanks

Brigade Games do a pack of 3 LW German gun crew. There are no pictures. There is only a picture of the four that come with a field gun. One of whom is holding a shell so no good to you. The 3 in the other pack may be them less the shell holder? Might be worth contacting them? How many crew are you after?

It is annoying HLBS do a British heavy gun crew but not a German one  :-[

Thanks for the response. I had seen the Brigade Games crew but don't really need the gun.

I was thinking of getting one of each of the British and German heavy guns for a 'take out the big gun' scenario and because they look so cool!

I might have to get 2 of the British heavy crews and do some head swaps.

As I mentioned, Brigade games do a pack of three crew without a gun, but no pictures so I assume they are the same as their pack that comes with a gun?

Gripping Beast do headless British gun crew in shirts to save you removing heads. Have HLBS any plans to bring out German heavy gun crew?

Thanks

I'll have a look at Gripping Beast as well. I've sent an email to HLSBCo about the German crew and haven't heard back yet. I'll let you know what they say.

Old Glory have a few small artillery pieces with crew that are quite good value, especially if you have (or know someone who has) the OG Army membership discount.

I used the Late War German large mortar crew from Great War miniatures. Plus anything else I could find from the same range that would mix in.

That's inspired me to press on with the project! Can you get the crew through North Star?
