Dear all,
I would like to share this news with you: May '40 Miniatures, a new company (headed by my brother) has begun producing 28mm Dutch WW2 figures (pewter). This is going to be a full range: infantry, heavy weapons, vehicles. Everything you need to defend The Netherlands against the German invader in May of 1940.
"At long last, after several years of planning and a lot of thinking on how to proceed a dream is starting to become reality. There is still a long road ahead so please bear with us."
There is no website at present but you are all welcome to like the facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/May-40-miniatures-970522413022592/?fref=ts
and last but not least, here are some early images:

Looks like you are off to a good start.
I am just started ordering some figures for this period.
Warlords, French and BEF.
I will look forward to following what you do.
Please post updates.
-
Hello.
It's a very good New !
I follow this topic.
-
And if you have the good colors to paint the dutch uniform, I will be happy.
-
Hi all, thank you for all the positive responses. It might be weird that Jager1815 responds for May '40 Miniatures, but it's my original account. So it'l have to do for now.
Updates will follow. And yes, I have a paint list which will do quite nicely for the Dutch in WW2, I will post it on the Facebook page.
Come over and see more pictures. Join us for the ride! Great times are ahead.
Cheers!!
Sander

I have been following this news with interest since I first spotted the FaceBook page last weekend.
Despite the fact I was born and live about as far away from the Netherlands as one can get, my heritage is Dutch. So my Dad served in 1940 (https://arteis.wordpress.com/2010/05/09/70th-anniversary-of-the-invasion-of-holland). Therefore, this new line of miniatures is of particular interest to me.
-
A wonderful initiative! I can already see the Chain of Command game....
I will follow it closely.
-
This looks great so far, will follow woth interest!
-
Great stuff! Love the early war setting how will these scale up with other ranges?

They will be fully compatible with other 28mm figures :)

News: May'40 Miniatures will be present at Crisis Antwerp November 5th 2016. We will be sharing a stand with Sally 4th and ACW Gamer the Ezine! details to follow
-
Small update but an important one. The master pieces have been sent to the caster and are being moulded and cast up. for those of you who are on Facebook can see the progress on the page: https://www.facebook.com/May-40-miniatures-970522413022592/
-
Great news! I've been following your progress and the figs look great! How much are thinking it will be per figure?
-
I see some new pics have gone up on Facebook - they're looking better and better!

Not my particular period/army of interest but I must say those figures look superb. Nicely detailed and clean sculpts. Good luck with the project.
-
I'm very impatient to see them for sale !
-
Ooo! Exciting project and I'm looking forward to seeing more :D
-
Finally a decent range for a much neglected army in 28mm WW2 gaming. Will be following this one closely.
-
Oh. My. Goodness! :o
How did i miss this?
Kepi's off to you sirs; I have been dreaming about doing May 1940 in 28mm for ages and was all set to just convert Romanians into Dutch, as doing my own range is simply beyond my reach (I can sculpt something decent, yes, but to do an entire range, with the amount of miniatures required, plus the mould making, casting etc, would simply be too much to fit into an already overburdened schedule, not to mention wallet...).
The sculpting looks great and I can't wait to see the end results. (Was the Lewis actually fired over the shoulder like that?)
How many sculpts will there be in total? Will there be officers in kepi's (and wielding sabres/klewangs?) Can you elaborate on possible future expansions to the range? Will there be marines in longcoats, hussars on motorbikes and/or mobile infantry on bicycles? (my enthousiasm might be getting the better of me now... ::) ).
At any rate; I always attend Crisis, so I'll be fully prepared to shell out big time then. :D
Oh; to finally be able to game the Holland airfields, the Grebbeberg, or Moerdijk... *Squee* :-*
-
@Daeothar and everyone else ofcourse,
That first remark is a big part of why this is all finally happening. Though my sculpting skills are near to 0 I have found a way to do the project anyway :D
The lewis could indeed be fired in this pose, though the Dutch would probably not have because of the defensive warfare we conducted. There are pictures of soldiers of other armies firing it this way. This will nog be the only pose with the Lewis in this first release.
We've got a very long list of things that we want to do in the (near) future. It will have to stay a secret for now, but your wish list is not far from the truth ;-)
On the officers with Kepi. The kepi was a "buiten model" hat, so it was privatly bought. In Wartime, all (fighting) officers would wear their helmet. So that's one thing I can let slip, the first release won't have officers with kepi's.
CRISIS!! Been there a couple of times as a punter. Really looking forward to be there with a stand. It will be a joint stand with Sally4th.
Your enthusiasm is noted and much apreciated. Whenever I start talking about the subject it tends to end in the same way as you do.
If you have Facebook you can contact me there. Interested in what you have sculpted.

I'm not expecting an update this week. But certainly next week.
Cheers!
-
P.s. thinking on getting a new May '40 Miniatures account on here for my personal one might be confusing.
-
Interesting news; I'm sure we'll have a nice long chat in November then :D
I do not Facebook, but don't expect too much of my sculpted range; so far I've only ever done 2 full miniatures (plus loads of conversions, obviously), both for personal use only, and only 1 was actually cast in metal.
What rules are you intending on using once you have your own army finished? I've been looking at a Bolt Action expansion myself, but it was decidedly underwheling, and I held off buying the book, even though I really like the BA rules in general.
Then again; I suppose there are plenty of rulesets to be used. It's just that that those are first published ones (that I'm aware of) for use with 28mm. (obviously there's FoW Early War. But hey; 15mm... ::) ).
I'll be on the lookout for your updates!
-
No Fb. Smart! It can be rather tiresome sometimes, all the self proclaimed politicians and all.
The miniatures range is not actually rules specific. It's intended to be used by for all. Though I only have BA and combat patrol. The way the sets will be put together will hopefully be interesting for every ruleset, but are based on historical accuracy. So 12 men in an infantry squad and such.
BA is an interesting ruleset, though the Dutch army lists ciukd do with some improvement. As it happens, there's a BA group on FB.......hmm...ok......where we've made a "add in" army list to the official BA list. Including rules for marines.
BA 2.0 will also be released in a bit. So not sure what's going to happen to the current army lists..
-
Chain of Command has a proposed list. I for one will wait until you do the KNIL (hint, hint), then I will leap in.

I was considering doing a ww2 French army for CoC but now I'm seriously considering these
does anyone know what the usual (paper) platoon structure was and also what kind of support would have been available?
I know they had a hand full of Landsverk armoured cars - does anyone make one in 28mm?
cheers
Andy

There is much deviation form the norm, depending on the regiment, readiness and degree of equipment. But on paper, a Dutch infantry company in May 1940 consisted of 160 to 195 men, divided over 4 platoons (sections), plus one command platoon.
It would/should have had 12 Lewis light machine guns (3 per platoon/section).
Mobile (bicycle) companies and border companies would have had about 120 men.
The Landsverk M36 and M38 were used mostly in Brabant, in delaying actions and a few around The Hague (Fortress Holland) as a mobile reserve. To my knowledge, they were not used in the North and along the Waterline.
Oh; and there was one (1) Lewis carrier. It had been acquired purely to evaluate how tracked vehicles would perform in the flooded areas of the waterline (poorly, as can be expected), but unlike what some trackheads will make you believe, it was not used in combat.
There were also a lot of repurposed and upgraded civilian vehicles of a lot of makes, all converted into so-called Trado trucks. They were quite ubiquous, being available to many artillery and mobile units.
All kinds of artillery support was available, some virtually ancient (19th century) pieces, but also some pretty modern batteries. Mortars were also available. most indirect fire guns had been ranged in long before and fields of fire mapped, so they could be very effective at times.
A special mention should go to the very modern Anti Aircraft Guns which certainly left their mark on the German transport aircraft fleet during the foiled air-mobile attack on Fortress Holland, which were also used as point-blank defence guns against troops on the airfields.
Also, there were some Solothurn 20mm anti-tank guns, which were used mostly in the same delaying actions mentioned before, in Limburg and Brabant.
Bear in mind though, that there was a glaring lack of communications equipment throughout the army, so radio's were not a very common sight (if at all) at company level.
So top down, organisation of a nominal company would/should have been:
[Company]
- [Command Group - Captain, Sergeant (-Major), 11x rifle]
[Platoon A]
- [Command Group - Lieutenant, Sergeant, 11 rifles]
- [Group 1 - Sergeant, 1x Lewis LMG, 11x rifle]
- [Group 2 - Sergeant, 1x Lewis LMG, 11x rifle]
- [Group 3 - Sergeant, 1x Lewis LMG, 11x rifle]
[Platoon B]
- [Command Group - Lieutenant, Sergeant, 11 rifles]
- [Group 1 - Sergeant, 1x Lewis LMG, 11x rifle]
- [Group 2 - Sergeant, 1x Lewis LMG, 11x rifle]
- [Group 3 - Sergeant, 1x Lewis LMG, 11x rifle]
[Platoon C]
- [Command Group - Lieutenant, Sergeant, 11 rifles]
- [Group 1 - Sergeant, 1x Lewis LMG, 11x rifle]
- [Group 2 - Sergeant, 1x Lewis LMG, 11x rifle]
- [Group 3 - Sergeant, 1x Lewis LMG, 11x rifle]
Sometimes elements were attached to the command section, such as antitank rifles, mortars, heavy machine guns, couriers etc etc. (but usually just one of those, if any at all...)
...I know they had a hand full of Landsverk armoured cars - does anyone make one in 28mm?...
This, I would like to know as well. Even better (to match the rest of the vehicles in my collection) at scale 1/50 or 1/48...
-
Of course I had to go off and find out on my own. ::)
So far though, I can't seem to find any manufacturer who does Landsverk M36/38 models in an acceptable scale (that is: anywhere between 1/60 and 1/43).
There are models available in 1/35 and 1/87 respectively though.
I did find this one blog post (http://gamingandpainting.blogspot.com/2015/06/dutch-support-units-28mm.html) though, which I think represents our best bet, when building an acceptable Landsverk. Although I strongly suspect that the guy posting this, might also be active here on LAF... ;)
He uses the FoW suggestion of taking Zvezda Russian Armoured Cars and converting them into Landsverks. It looks as if this will take minimal effort, although he does lament the fact that the conversion is quite obvious. Still; I think the idea has merit and lacking other sources, I will probably go this route. :)
-
Thanks Daeothar.
You sharing this info is very welcome because probably not everyone has this much detailed info on the Dutch during the years leading up to our involvement in WW2. keep it comming.
concerning the Landsverk and other support units. ummm.....next topic please. My lips are sealed. pom tie tom tie tom.
-
That is sounding very promising. Now, the KNIL? ;)
Thanks Daeothar.

I wish we could do everyghing at once.... choices had to be made so for now the focus lies on the defence of The Netherlands. But..... ;)
Anyone interested in helping out? Send me a message here or on Facebook.

Oooh; you tease... lol
Anyone interested in helping out? Send me a message here or on Facebook.
I've sent you a PM. :)
-
Thanks for the info Daeothar
a few more questions
[Platoon A]
- [Command Group - Lieutenant, Sergeant, 11 rifles]
- [Group 1 - Sergeant, 1x Lewis LMG, 11x rifle]
- [Group 2 - Sergeant, 1x Lewis LMG, 11x rifle]
- [Group 3 - Sergeant, 1x Lewis LMG, 11x rifle]
.....
So if I'm reading this right a platoon would be
Command
Lieutenant (armed with a pistol presumably)
Sergeant (rifle)
10 x Rifle men
then 3 sections of
Sergeant (Rifle)
Gunner (Lewis)
10x Riflemen (some presumably carrying extra Lewis ammo)
did troops carry grenades?
I'm just trying to build my own CoC list (I know there is a test one but I like to design my own)
I look forward to seeing what support options become available for them especially the rumours of the armoured car :)
-
Describing how the Dutch army was organized can't be done in a couple of posts I'm afraid. There were so many variations on the regulations it's just scary to say: this is how it was and how you should build your army.
For instance:
A section consists of 30 -36 men. Divided over 3 groups + 1 commander (which often was the sergeant major or ranking sergeant ). But preferably a 2nd or first lieutenant.
The 3 were organised in either 3 lmg groups or 2 lmg groups and 1 skirmish group (without the Lewis). The groups with the lewis indeed carried extra lewis ammo. Descriptions vary in this, some say all the rifle man carrid a lewis box and one rifle box, some say only 5 men carried the lewis box.
The command "group" consisted of just the officer (most of the time)
I coukd go on and on. Will have to do this another way I think.
-
Forgot about the grenades.
The thing is, there are some conflicting sources but it is commanly accepted that we had grenades, but they were not issued. We were prepared for a defensive conflict. Grenades are primarily used in offensive tactics. So....in wargaming terms, I would say no to grenades.
-
@ aktr: on paper, there should be 11 riflemen in a squad, one rifle armed sergeant and a machinegunner, for a total of 13 men. One or more riflemen would also be carrying ammo for the Lewis, but since the Dutch army was on a defensive footing and mostly occupied prepared positions, the machineguns were in position, and would not have moved much as a result (only in the inevitable retreats of course).
I'm not certain about armament for officers. Most seem to have had a pistol and sabre, but since officers at that time had a lot of freedom to add to or replace elements of their uniform and gear, that is not set in stone.
I've seen pictures and/or read descriptions of officers with rifles, carabines, pistols, revolvers, cavalry sabres and even the 'famous' Klewang (basically an Indonesian machette. Although I suspect that officers having done tours in 'The East' might have called any long bladed weapon as such. The standard infantry sabre was called a klewang as well).
However; many units were issued with the 'Stormdagger', which basically was a bayonet, to replace their klewangs, but most officers and even NCOs retained their blades.
Forgot about the grenades.
The thing is, there are some conflicting sources but it is commanly accepted that we had grenades, but they were not issued. We were prepared for a defensive conflict. Grenades are primarily used in offensive tactics. So....in wargaming terms, I would say no to grenades.
Actually... Grenades were plentiful (500K available per May 1940), and several sources report that they were widely used. Most were defensive grenades as opposed to offensive/attack grenades.
They were of the egg type (Eihandgranaat No. 1, 2 en 3), but right now, I have no idea how they were carried. I am not aware of any specialized grenade pouches or bags. Some models appear to have had a clip, so they might have been clipped to belts/webbing...
-
Have to disagree with some of the things you are saying :D but that's alright. We'll have a thourough discussion on those things ;-)
-
One thing on the grenades. I just checked with someone who's even more into this subject than me. He lives and breathes this stuff.
Grenades were available. But were used in such small numbers you could say the weren't at all. The troops had so little training with them, they were actually afraid to yse them.
The defensive grenades were meant for close combat support (max 25 meters) which happened almost no where.
How the were carried? Hmmmm probabl in pockets or in the breadbag. There were indeed no specialized grenade pouches (which also hints at them not being widely used).
Another possibility is that they were stored in their original crates and were stacked in the defensive positions. Up for grabs when needed. But that's all speculation...

That would certainly explain the total absense of grenades in any and all pictures of the conflict I have seen so far. Several sources report availability of between 400 and 500 thousand handgrenades of the No. 1, 2or 3 types being available. They do not say whether or not they were distributed and used, although one source mentions that they were used extensively, at least at the Grebbeberg.
But this is not the first (or last) time I've encountered conflicting sources of course.
The defensive grenades were meant for close combat support (max 25 meters) which happened almost no where.
Grebbeberg, Peel-Raam stelling, Rotterdam, Dordrecht, Ypenburg, Valkenburg... ;)

Another possibility is that they were stored in their original crates and were stacked in the defensive positions. Up for grabs when needed. But that's all speculation...
In the end though, I will have to agree with you there. And as far as modeling and gaming is concerned, they would not play any significant role anyway, bar perhaps in certain scenario's or special rules.
-
Hi,
Thanks for all this information its really useful. it doesn't matter if things are a bit vague - I know no paper formation survives contact with the enemy
my thinking at the moment is
Command - Senior Officer
3x sections of
A Sergeant (rifle)
10 x Riflemen
Lewis (2 crew)
Grenades will be an option you can 'buy' for the army, along with another senior officer, the option to change the 3rd section into a skirmish sections and the usual support things
of course it might depend on what size packs you sell the infantry in
-
That's just the thing. Most of the sources speak of 12 men incl the sergeant, lewis and helper.
-
I'll change it to 12 total then
-
... or in the breadbag.
Painful if you pull out and boil the wrong egg for breakfast. >:D
-
lol
That would give a nasty surprise.
But if you want to carry grenades in Dutch uniform it's sort of the only viable option. I have an almost complete uniform at home. There's not much room to put them somewhere else. The gasmask bag is not an option.
-
Just a bit of an update on production. The 13th will be moulding day and casting masters, loads of masters. When I have these as many as needed will be cleaned and checked thouroughly. those will be used for making the production moulds. The other masters will be used for painting display miniatures and I'll probably send some out to certain people to do a review.
I can't yet say when the actual production is starting but it will be soon. Not soon enough but soon. :D
Crisis Antwerp, 5th of november 2016 will be the first Wargaming event I'll be at, not as just a punter but with a stand. Shared with Sally4th. Looking forward to that!
Cheers!!

I'll be sure to pop by. Though I'm Belgian and not really into the 1940 Dutch guys, I'm interested in what you're making. :)

True. That will be one crowded stand of awesomeness........ummmm right.....back to doing something productive ;D
-
Jager1815 thanks for all the infomation on the Dutch army!
I had a couple of questions if you wouldnt mind answering?
How did you rate the marines in BA? Regular with fanatics? And do you know if the marines served in any land battles in the Dutch East Indies? I cant find anything to suggest that they did but thought i would ask the question.
-
Hi Winder,
It might be a good idea if you have Facebook to join this group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/962339910470570/?fref=ts it's a specific group on the Dutch in WW2. there's a downloadable file there with units that can be added to your games of BA, nothing official though. also, don't forget to like my page 8)
Marines:
Mariniers Section
Cost: 50 points (Regular)
Team: 1 NCO and 4 Infantry
Weapons: Rifles
options:
Add up to 6 additional infantry men armed with rifles for +10 pts each
One soldier may have a light machine gun for +20 pts, 1 other soldier becomes the loader.
Storm Dolk (Storm Dagger) equipped for an additional +1 pt. per man to give them the tough fighters rule.
(Note, this selection represents the battle hardened men who have returned for redeployment from campaigns in the East Indies. The Marines who have just completed training can be best represented by the selection of regular infantry and then just apply the different uniforms colour of the Marines when modelling your force.)
I'll have to look into your question on the marines in the East. atm I'm focussing on the european theatre.
-
These look very nice indeed. Will be watching with interest!
-
Thanks for the advice Jager1815!

Very Nice !
When are they available ?
That will be some time from now I'm afraid, the only deadline I can give is the first week of November for I'll be at Crisis Antwerp. anything in between would be great.
-
Antwerp Will be fine !
I think you need to do some pre order.
-
Wonderful to see the Dutch being released soon.

Some examples of the first castings. these are the masters and will need to be cleanded thouroughly. After that production moulds will be made. Just a little bit more!
-
Prima!
-
Some more pics. Almost finished.
The masters have arrived and are in the proces of being cleaned of flash and mould lines. After this is done they will go back into rubber to make the production moulds. some 150+ mini's have to be done this way.
-
Excellent !
-
Looking great! I can already tell that this range is so going to suckerpunch me right in the wallet... :D
-
Those do look very good.
-
I would like to see some blietzkrieg germans to compare them !
-
Thank you all. Am slaving away right now on cleaning those 150+. I hope to send them back to the UK next week.
Blitzkrieg Germans, check. There's just so many German mini's around though. But who knows :D
-
Apologies.
I want to say: could you send us some german from warlord for an exemple to compare with your minies painted !
If you want to make some other army, please consider some early war french motorised troops !
-
Ah, I understand, pictures with Germans and Dutch to compare size etc?
French motorized troops? do you have pictures?
-
I have some Warlord Germans, but late war. I do have some Blitzkrieg but they are still in the box. will try to get some built and painted asap :D
-
Ah, I understand, pictures with Germans and Dutch to compare size etc?
French motorized troops? do you have pictures?
I Will send you some pictures latéral.
I'm in hollyday in netherlands !!
-
Almost finished with prepping 150+ miniatures for the production moulds. Also sort of decided on the pack contents. There will be between 10 and 15 different packs. Not including bundles (squad/section/platoon deals).
No new pics for now. only work work work :o
-
Update, masters are on their way to the UK. next week will be moulding week. after that, production can start ;D ;D ;D
For those of you living in the UK, we may have found a company that wants to stock our range, so postage issues for the UK will be solved if that ship comes in :D
USA and Downunder/NZ would benefit from something similar.
-
MAJOR UPDATE on the May'40 Facebook page.
but here are some pics for you.
-
Wow,
It's a big update
-
Wow,
It's a big update
Well, it's a 7000Kg update lol

Absolutely beautiful model so far! Looking forward to seeing it in real life (and getting hold of one myself!).

Soo... any updates pending? Any news?
Only 1,5 months or so till Crisis. Can't wait to see these in the lead...
-
No real updates at the moment, everything is chugging along, though getting packaging etc is proving more difficult than I hoped for. I did some field research last weekend in the form of firing a 7 veld. ;D
Price list is done, 2 pre-order deals only available during the launch. (delivery on and after Crisis)
There will be an update with some news in a bit. (more or less a week from now)
-
Ok, a small update :D
-
9 more riflemen added. so we now have 44 different poses! These were made to make it easier to make squad packs.
Work also continues on the Landsverk. The one big thing is the front and rear suspension. For the rest it's all in the detailing. Hopefully we will have a printed model around the 24th.
cheers!

Sally 4th is stocking the complete range of May '40 Miniatures and will be taking them around the UK show circuit as well as having them available from our website. We currently have the range available for pre-order for collection at Crisis or posting out when we get back. This included two great pre-release deals that offer you a great opportunity to start collecting your 1940 Dutch Army at a discounted price.

We have also put together a photo gallery of painted figures, so if you have not had a look at the range yet, it is definitely worth a look.
