January ended up being a really weird war 2 month, after I found a pile of Panzerfauste figures I'd forgotten about in the Lead Mountain

For anyone who doesn't know the game, it's from Wessex Games & is WW2 meets fantasy. A lot of these figures are currently unavailable though (shows how long ago I bought them!)

A few more left to paint in February..

Orc Commandos

Gnome Infantry

Dwarven Infantry

Dwarven Sturmtruppen

Rat Infantry

Dark Elf Infantry

Dark Elf Scouts

Great looking paint jobs!

Where did you get the figs, and any review on the game system? Does it play well, et. al...

They look Great. I used to love playing Panzerfauste.

The rules use the Guts system and are quick and simple & a fantastic fun game i would recomend them highly. Buy the rules Give Steve some money, he's a thoroughly nice chap.
OH and go and join the SFSFW http://www.sfsfw.org/

They use the same mechanism as these:

Thanks for the comments and I agree with everything aircav has said

There is a stripped down free set of the rules available if you want to have a look

Hopefully Steve at Wessex will be getting more figures back into production sometime but the ones available are here

Really nice collection you've got there!!!

I haven't played Panzerfauste for years ( I'll have to dig my rules out).

I made a few extra Dwarf minis for my games.
A Grenadier, a Commander and "Herr Slick" of the Secret Police. They could do with a re-paint as I did these years ago!!

Papa, please can you put those pictures onto the WG yahoo group?

Panzerfauste is a game of excellent fun. You will require 2 players and 1 GM really. The game needs to have various objectives to be much fun, set up and shoot em up games of it are fairly boring.

A Mass battle game based in the same background are currently being devised. This will hopefully lead to more miniatures being made.

The miniatures are cheap (£5 for 4 Orcs, 5 Dwarves or 7 Gnomes) and there is currently a fairly wide range. Some of the sculpts are weaker than others, but the Sturmtruppen you all seem to love are still available, along with the Wehrmacht, Orc Infantry, Orc Marines, Gnome Foreign Legion, Gnome infantry and Gnome Chasseurs.

Steve is a throughroughly nice bloke, and one of the people who helped devise much of the ORIGINAL Flintloque background (the more imaginative fantasy version).

Your minis are really well painted mate, very nice. You have paid a lot of attention to little details which really make this lot stand out. Looks like you enjoyed painting them up!

If you do repaint them (not that I think they need it

) how about adding a Von Smallbaggins as a diminutive sidekick!

Just bumping this thread up a bit!

Expect to see a new version of Panzerfauste soon, mass battle Panzerfauste.
It will be a simple, yet fun system that can be used for larger battles in the land between Orc, Gnome and Dwarf.
The first book will cover the Mon-Gehrahnt line (Blitzkrieg period) as these are the miniatures Steve still has out. If the book proves to be popular, he says he'll release the rest!

So please, show some interest, it is incredible fun!
Rob
