Swedish Interwar 28mm Infantry 1910-1939

Oh, really nice news!

I think I will get a set of them to use as foreing allies for my VBCW Edwardians

[former user]

they look very interesting and special. But only VBCW and other ficticious conflicts I guess?
Maybe something that happened before this

[Arlequín]

they look bery unteresting and special. But only VBCW and other ficticious conflicts I guess?

I don't know, given some of the recent products and sacred texts of the 'historical' wargames industry, I would be inclined to regard everything as a fictitious conflict.

You could use them from 1910 until 1945 (more or less). During this time swedish troops was involved in two wars, first the finnish civil war and then the winterwar (ww2). But both wars was during the winter so these figures are dressed wrong. But maybe you could use them för the last month of the FSW (but I don't think that the swedes had swedish uniforms).
But they could be used for LN's mission in Saar 1935. Sweden send troops to Saar, but from what I understand they did not take part in any shooting. But you could use Tsuba's Freikorp germans as opponents and do some low level skirmishing. :-)
And there were some Swedish merceries in the Russian civil war, in Estland maybe? You could maybe use these figures for them.
I could see them being used in the Scottish part of the VBCW.
But we are going to use them for our own Swedish Civil War.

If you do a google image search with 'ruotsalainen prikaati' you can see few black and white images of the Swedish brigade that took part in the FCW.

Do you have plans for eg. machine gun team?

[BjörnF]

Thanks pocoloco.

Yes, maybe. If there are an interest in the figures I will talk to the sculptor if he can do some more.
If he wants to do some I was thinking of making a machine gun team, a mortar team, a standard bearer, a bugler and maybe some sitting shooting/reloading with other helmets/hats.
But it would also be nice to get some dismounted cavalry from the life guard.
I suppose everything depends on one boring thing, money. :-)

Then we got to hope that there's a big interest in these

I could only hope so.

Good news!

I will definately buy these 

[BjörnF]

A question for everyone. Would you be interested in buying pre-painted figures? I have good contact with a painter in my town. Would people be interested to buy painted figures instead of un-painted? Delivery would take two weeks longer and each figure would cost £5-7 more. Would anyone buy it? (the question is more about buying pre-painted than buying the figures)

Traveller: I haven't forgotten you! It has taken long time, but now I can see the light in the end of the tunnel. :-)

[pocoloco]

Personally would not buy pre-painted as then I would need to get all my minis for the project painted by the same painter, better to dabble myself and splah some paint on minis at some point.

[traveller]

when you see my paintwork you would suggest that I buy the service instead... but no -  "übung macht den Meister!!" 

[Lord of Jerwood]

would buy a platoon worth of theses       would prefer unpainted as I prefer painting my own stuff.

No, not fot me. I like the miniatures though and can see myself ordering some in the near future.

These seem to be a  suitable basis for some 'what if' scenarios with these minis.
