Title: 28mm British weapons packs? (looking for a Sten gun)
Post by: leonmallett on April 05, 2011, 06:39:07 PM

Okay, I am not (yet) a WWII gamer, but I have a project that I would like a metal Sten gun for. Are there any manufacturers of 28 mm weapons packs featuring a sten gun? Not a rivet-counter so any 'mark' of sten will do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

I'd be surprised if Bolt Action (Warlord) doesn't make them.

I looked at their packs, but couldn't see one for Sten guns or including a single sten gun; even though I could source a plastic one, it would be too flimsy looking on the model I have in mind, hence seeking a metal pack.

I don''t know this era/genre of minis well enough to know who else to look at except Artizan (no luck there either).

There's stens in the Warlord/BoltAction plastic brits set, the weapons sprues are available seperately.

Cheers; but I have gone with the TAG pack based on the relative chunkiness I hope it has.
