They are cool! It surprise me to see figthing troops in Bayerischen Tracht :o
Are you going to release spartacists aswell?
Wow! Actually much more interested in this personally than RJW. What are your plans moving forward for the range?
I'd love to get some opponents for them done, once the aforementioned is realized. (Maybe also some other distinctive federal troops, that cannot represented by the available WW1 miniatures.)
But I'm not completely sure (at least not yet), if resp. in what way that would be a feasible project as there are already a couple of miniatures/ranges available, which could be pressed into service or are actually dedicated to this conflict(s). :?
Any input and thoughts on this would be very welcome!
I certainly take your point re the lack of submachine guns for the Werdenfels, but I have to wonder whether they would have had any machine guns either! I liked how the command set has the one NCO in his old feldgrau.
Add one more vote for German armed police. Oh and an Anita Berber character figure.
Actually Otto Dix is a great source of character inspiration for this period. One of my favourite painters. And yes, one more vote for German police!
Quite happily ordered mine yesterday! :-*Agreed with all of this
My hopes for expansion in order.
1. Police
2. Civilains
I am sure that any fan of the interwar revolutions and border disputes would want a complete range from Spartacists, to Volksmarine, to Baltic enemies, and all Freikorps inbetween. Let me just say that "if you build it, my Paypal will come"! lol
I am interested in the history of these fellows. Why were they not in uniform?
Which figure ranges would scale best with yours for doing the Freikorps units in "Stormtrooper" gear--as I am presuming these wouldn't be on your list. Maybe Brigade Games?"That's a bingo!"
Cool, which fig's did he do? I notice a nice mix of models and ranges on the web site.To be honest with you, I'm not sure.
I dont think though that Hicks made any Germans. Only Austrians, Italians, British and RussiansI think that's correct. He did do a germans-in-field-cap headset though.
Now to dream up a scenario involving a disorientated Bavarian stag party in central Asia..........wooohaha!Count me in! I'll bring the bratwursts, you bring the pilsner.
I received my figures and flags today. All I can say is, :o :-* :-* :-* :-*
Tsuba's communication was excellent and their speed in posting was spot on. The figures were carefully packaged between layers of bubble wrap with the smaller, loose items in Ziploc bags.
The figures are crisply molded with the most minimal of flash. Many figures won't even need to be cleaned up! The metal used is hard and strong which can be a hazzard if serious bending is required. Truthfully, I prefer the harder metals since they seem to allow for finer cast details. There were two slightly bent rifles which were quickly put back in order without any residual distortion. I credit this ease of resolution to both the quality of casting process, and the care taken in packaging.
In summary, these figures are phenomenal! My only regret is....Is....Nope, I have none! ;D All I can say, is that if you are either an interwar or pulp gamer, these belong on your table.
Andrew Taylor has painted another casting of the standard bearer, this time using the specific Freikorps Werdenfels banner from Flags of War's banner sheet:

Oh bloody marvellous sir!!! These are superb. Order on the way. Now to dream up a scenario involving a disorientated Bavarian stag party in central Asia..........wooohaha!

I had it analysed in the late 1980's. The second most carcinogenic beer in the world. At the time. Guess which was the most carcinogenic?Christ, that's a disturbing thought. :?
Paul also did the Musketeer VBCW and ICW ranges which are usable. As is the Empress SCW range. There are anomalies. For instance, the Musketeer stuff strongly features Lee Enfields and Lewis guns and these would not be common in 1919 Germany. Nor would 1930's Italian and Soviet firearms.Do you know if these two ranges are compatible in scale?
These are insanely good, but they need opponents. The Scheltrum figures just are not in the same league.
With some Reds, you have all you need for a nice little Very German Civil War.
I totally agree.
