Biggest 28-32mm WWII ranges?
« on: 19 February 2014, 07:05:21 AM »
Hey howdy hey.

I was going to pick up some Renegade Miniatures Nazis, as I heard they're on the larger size and I only needed a few infantrymen, plus maybe one senior officer. Unfortunately it seems Renegade's... gone rogue (store closed)!

Who else makes WWII Germans in larger 30mm/32mm sizes? They must be able to pass for pre-war/early - no obviously late war gear - since it's for prewar Pulp.

My baseline is technically Copplestone, but Copplestone actually winds up being slightly below average to barely average for the figures I'm using. I've got a bunch of 32mm buggers.

Thanks!

I can't remember if they do early war or not, but Victory Force Miniatures are easily the largest "28mm" figures on the market. I suspect that, by choosing figures carefully, you should be able to meet your requirements, though.

Chiltern's are among the biggest I've ever seen.

Not a fan of Chiltern's sculpts, but Victory Force might do very nicely.

Thanks!

I guess the 1/48 WW2 stuff Scarab miniatures sells would be too big?

Not necessarily... I've used a couple of 1/48 minis (mainly converted Dust minis), though they're still "tall" people.

Dammit, I looked at the other folks and they're just not the same. I really liked the sculpting on the Renegade figures... too bad!  :?

It's not a big deal though. I'll live!

I would check out Crusader, they are about the same size as artizan, which are about 30mm (big 28s). Their Germans are most certainly early war as they are all equipped with jackboots, mg-34's, and such. I'm not sure how big the metal warlord one are, but I'm assuming they're old BEF sculpts, which means they'll be about the same size, the guns will just be more to scale.

Take a look at 1st Corps, they're on the taller side but still fairly in proportion.
Not very well detailed, but easy to paint up.
