28mm metal German rifle grenade launcher figures ?
« on: 21 July 2025, 10:31:00 AM »
Salve Citizens,

I’m buiilding up my German Empress (gorgeous sculpts) for CoC / BA and specifically require a Rifle Grenade Launcher team of 3 men for a Volksgrenadier platoon for CoC. I’m struggling to find any figures armed in this way for sale. Does anyone know where I might obtain some ?

No need really. I'd suggest just filing the end of the rifle off around the foresight and then adding a piece of plastic rod.

The new Victrix plastic germans have several figures that can be armed with rifle grenades...

Good call, I'd forgotten about them after being a bit disappointed with another plastic. They look nice stylistically and are very sharply detailed. I imagine they would dwarf the Empress figs? They definitely seem bulkier but with the style not being so cartoony for either it might work. I'll look into them, thanks.
-Just to edit this later today, I've found a great video on youtube comparing the Victrix to the Empress figs by Tabletop Command Post - they match much closer than I was expecting. I may actually grab a set just to generally add to my collection, they are nicer looking than I first thought.

There is one here:

https://eoeorbisuk.com/collections/ww2-germans/products/ww2019-wehrmacht-character-set-ii-4?variant=4539397571

But I would not order from these scoundrels…
 

Hehe thanks...its a shame that its probably the best and closest option I'll ever get...placed a SMALL order with them 6 weeks ago and no word yet, but I won't start panicking until at least a year has passed. Shame I didn't include this in the order on the off chance it ever gets shipped out to me...

This is a great suggestion, really. Thank you. I will keep it in mind when looking over suitable candidates in my collection.

I appreciate the input gentlemen, much obliged.
