28 mm Czechoslovak army (interwar) in pewter
« on: May 23, 2008, 04:12:29 AM »
Hi Folks,

This one is for Alex  8)

I noticed this subject on TMP and investigated further:
http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=143416

Designed by Paul Hicks and they have lots of possibilities for WW2.

Scroll down towards the bottom of the page from the below link for more photographs:

Best wishes,
Helen

Ideal for Slovaks on the Eastern Front, if you are into that sort of thing.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Thanks Carlos, they will be good for representing that country. Actually, they are one of my favourite little countries fighting on the Eastern Front.

The blue painted rim on the pudding bowl helmet certainly will  make them distinctive, they are an interesting little mob the Slovaks.

On the other hand gaming a Czech defence in the defence of the German annexation could be fun and the Czechs have better kit than the Germans in 1938, not to mention a maginot like defence line. If the idea appeals look out for a copy of the old Command magazine that had a very cool boardgame based on such a scenario. Tough game for the Germans. The other option is squaring them off against Bolt Actions Poles fighting overb posession of Teschen.

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know if these miniatures are still available.

Need some for my incursions with my Polish forces.

Cheers,

Helen

Emil has changed his site to http://www.horcata.eu/

The Czech figures appear to still be available from it.  :)

Hi Guys,

Just an update. Received an e-mail from Emil. The Czechs are available to order via the webstore or an e-mail to Email. Paypal is the method of ordering.

Emil mentioned that he would like to expand the range, but the Thirty Years War has priority. So if you have an interest than please let Emil know.

Cheers and thanks,

Helen
