Looking for a few specific things.
« on: 12 September 2007, 04:11:03 AM »
I'm looking for a good and pulpy Prussian style WWI officer with a spikey and ornate pickelaube, a frock coat, lots of trim and medals and a fancy sash.  Preferably good and portly with a big mustacio.  

I'm also looking for some British Mark IV and Whippet Tanks and some armored cars that could be included in a Freikorps style army.

How about Baron Gruber from Bob Charette's Parroom Station line, manufactured by The London War Room?



They also have Count von Schikel, who lacks the pickelhaub

Renegade Miniatures's German Command has some great looking German officers:  http://renegademiniatures.com/ww1ger.htm  Full of character, I especially like the fat one!

For tanks, your best bet is Brigade Games:  http://www.brigadegames.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=BGT

The Whippet is particularly nice: http://www.brigadegames.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=BG-T017&Category_Code=BGT&Product_Count=28

Brigade also has some nice German officers:  http://www.brigadegames.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=BG-WIWG22&Category_Code=BGHMW&Product_Count=36

The only WWI-era German armoured cars I've seen (in 28mm size, anyway) have been scratch built.  As many of them were pretty boxy in appearance, scratchbuilding your own or converting an old Matchbox might not be that difficult.  Landships is a good source of inspiration:  http://www.landships.freeservers.com/tank_articles.htm

Hope that helps a bit.

This should take you straight to the page they're on in the London War Room store. By the way, London War Room is in Mississippi in the U.S.

Yes, on a recent trip to London, I looked up wargame stores and got all excited until i realised that the London Warroom wasn't in London............... :-X
