The Bolshirats and the Menshimice
« on: November 07, 2013, 04:41:37 PM »
We're very pleased to release our latest range, 28mm Rodent Civil Wars.  We have both the Bolshirats and the Menshimice for this tumultuous war, as well as the dreaded Adlerkorps mercenary stosstruppen.  The models were sculpted by Bob Olley and these were painted by Andrew Taylor.



The range is 28mm scale, but keep in mind that the Bolshirats and Menshimice are diminutive, so are about 20mm tall.  The mighty Adlers are a full 28mm tall.  For each rodent range we have troopers armed with the Mousin-Nagant rifle, command, and a HMG team.

Here are the Bolshirats --

Overcoats:


Jackets:


Command (ex-army officer, Kommissar aiming at his head to keep him radical, and standardbearer with the symbol of international cheddar):


HMG team:


And the Menshimice -- God save the Caesar (even though he's dead)!

Overcoats:


Jackets:


Command: (officer, bugler, and iconbearer, here carrying the popular icon of Saint Squeekor)


HMG team:


Stranded in the Caesarist Empire when their own land was defeated by the perfidious Bulldogs, the fearsome Adlerkorps now serve as mercenaries for any rodent officer lucky (and rich) enough to hire a few.  Standing at a full 28mm height, and trained in ferocious stosstruppen tactics, fighting with grenades, submachine guns and even trench-shovels, even one of these grim veterans can turn the course of the battle.  Gott strafe die Bulldoggen!



We also have platoon deals for the rodent forces, which have one of each rodent pack for each faction.




Available now!

That must be the most absurd and useless range of minis I've seen in ages. :o

And I want them all.

Very good and excellent brushwork on them all.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

I like it! Might be good to face off against the various WW1 goblins and hobbits too!

Yes I wasn't aware of those lines when I got these underway -- I think the only ones being built when I commissioned these a few years ago were the Dwarves.  I wondered by Bob had so many good sources on the Russians!  :-) 

It does turn out rather well in the end though, even if the Russian dress and equipment is duplicative.  Actually even then the Rats can be used because they are in Soviet garb.
