German esque vehicles and figures
« on: June 12, 2012, 09:13:35 PM »
I am looking for some Germanesque stuff for My PA force.
Most of mine are GW Imperial Guard figures painted in a WW II paint scheme but useing the modern black/red/gold German flag.
I have some Steel Legion, a few Vahallans.
I'm not looking for really scruffy figures they are simply battling in a ruined city.
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

When you say Germanesque you mean like in WWII German soldiers?

If so, you can try Westwinds Secrets of the Third Reich german miniatures. Can fit in it.

Wargames Factory shock troops are very cheap, and definitely similar to the Forgeworld Death Korps. style models.

Alas, to the best of my knowledge nobody makes a suitably scaled Trabant or Wartburg. Pity, I'd really like one.

PIg Iron  (I think Kolony) troopers have a good german feel and I would look for Weird WW2 vehicles such as those mentioned by Westwind and others. Agis will have some cracking examples in his threads on his set of rules

All a matter of taste. I knew that would be the reaction when I posted the links. I personally think 1:64 far too small but they do exist

My opponents for them will be a mix of Kolony rebels and ferals, Black Cat Bases robed cultists, the Tank Busters scavengers from Copplestone and a few WW SoTR Soviets.

Yup, mix with some SOTR capped heads and you have a very german looking troop, (using mine for WWW with experiment weaponary).

 Chhers Svenn, I quite like those.  No Trabi tho'. Liked the page heading The Dreams of Youth of the DDR.

Oddly enough, as a yoof I think one of my dreams was shagging Nina Hagen, who was ex-DDR.

You know I reckon a DDR theme would be great for LAF minis.
