New 28mm Volksturmm and Hitleryouth range from Offensive Miniatures

[LordSpode1879]

Not affiliated with the company in any way but they have just released a very nice looking range of these figures......sadly my technophobia prevents me from even offering a link

The figures look nice.

You are right that the website layout is a bit strange. It takes several clicks to find the pack contents.

Here is a link - but you will have to click on each pack "click for info" button to see the pictures. I could not find a group picture.

Also, I noticed that the packs are a bit strange. Some are all Panzerfaust and some have none - it means you have to buy all the packs to get a usable force.

Thank you! Glad it wasn't just me 

Looks a very useful range I'd say!

They probably did that with someone like me in mind .....I'd buy the lot anyway

They are very nice indeed

[Durutti]

Very nice
Wonder how well they scale out with the new Empress Volksgrenadiers?

No idea, I have their hostage rescue and rioting mob ranges.

I also have an LRDG jeep which is 1/56 scale and has figures on the Perry side of the scale.

The hostage rescue and rioting mob ranges are different sizes.

Warm acre, KillerB, Crooked Dice, Hostage Rescue (note base), Riot police.
The hostage rescue is notably smaller, but a reasonable match for KillerB.


Hostage taker, Crooked Dice and KillerB
The riot figures match okay with my standard 28mm figures.

Offensive Miniatures Riot Police; CP Miniatures SF trooper; Crooked Dice Armed Minion with automaton head); Copplestone Guard in Beret; Offensive Miniatures Riot Police Sergeant and Hasslefree Neil (with Offensive Minitures baton arm).

I have an Offensive paratrooper (no puns please) I will check them together when  I get home later, should be OK together though.

Their site is odd (and some images fall foul of OGH's rules).

Not sure if the pack contents have changed but there appears to be one or more Panzerschreck in all of them.

Nice enough I reckon.

[Truscott Trotter]

They look great IMHO I had managed to resist the warlord ones,  just, but this may be too much

I really want to like these, especially the HJ AT teams, but the panzerfausts are very badly sculpted.

[carlos marighela]

Good catch! Pack contents are a bit odd but the first Volksturm pack probably has a bit in it for everyone. Armed German Police have been on many wanted lists on LAF. A couple of those figures might even be handy for fleshing out my Sudeten Freikorp.

Minifigs have a few nice ones I painted up some time back. At work so can only post the link as my blog is blocked

I found the Warlord boxed set rather easy to resist...too many figures I just didn't need or plain didn't like? This range looks like it might go on to be seriously comprehensive .....a vast improvement on an add-on or afterthought pack?
