Best 15mm figure for Heer 46 infantry ?
« on: November 12, 2012, 06:38:22 PM »
With the output of firms like 'Forged in Battle', 'Heer 46' and even 'Khurasan' (the upcoming karnpanzer is an E10 in all but name), my possible Heer 46 force is looking more and more likely. So, which figure manufacturer make appropriate 15mm figures (i'm thinking that most (front line) troops would be carrying assault rifles by then). I'm aware of Peter Pig but not much else in 15mm.

 Any ideas, people?

Have a load already, and was actually looking more for a 'standard historical' type figure (ie - late war German with MP44), as i'd intended them to be working alongside the 'conjectural' vehicles, though the Sci-Germans are always an option.

 Just thinking on the TDQ Neu Heer figures, anyone know if somebody does East Germans in 15mm ?

Battle front do a couple company sets where the Assault rifle is predominant and so you would get a fair few out of that.

I think Peter Pig is your best bet in terms of quality and price. Packs 66 and 445 in this range: http://www.peterpig.co.uk/german.htm have StG 44s

An alternative is this pack: http://www.waylandgames.co.uk/flames-of-war/germans/infantry/assault-rifle-platoon/prod_4278.html

If you are more after realistic looking WW 2 Germans with 46 feel maybe try the Nachtjäger approach:

Ruben made a great job converting some FoW minis.
It amazes me that none of the WW 2 companies copied it!
cheers and keep on gaming, Agis - https://www.adpublishing.de
