Are these the same? http://wargamesfactory.com/announcements/wwii-german-infantry-preview-2

That one looks decent. My personal gripe is that I'm really sick of seeing the same goddamn recycled "Late War Germans" seemingly mass produced by every WW2  wargaming manufacturer. I think there are enough miniatures covering that army and that period.

Would be a lot more interesting to add Early War armies instead. I think stuff like early war French, Belgians, Poles etc – or -  pacific themed stuff like Warlord Games are producing at the moment is far more exciting and fresh.

As for the box cover itself, I have no idea what those guys smoke or what kind of  fumes they inhale to come up with something like that.

Ah Wargames Factory... cutesy computer generated images, crap minis. Good to see their box art conforms to fair trading principles by suggesting how crap the contents are likely to be.  I wonder if, like the Persian cavalry, they will come with missing parts, like an absence of reins.

To be fair, I did like the product description on the side of the those packs which read 'insert product blurb here'.

I've gotten some of the Warlord models. I'm very impressed by them. However I do purfur the plastic over the metal. Much cleaner.

Worst.  Boxart.  Ever. 

What were they thinking?
I agree with Anatoli, enough late war Germans!   Though other than the anklets, the chap in the 3D preview on their website doesn't look especially latewarish.
