Norway! New miniatures from Blitzkrieg Laboratories

[former user]

but I for my part plan a lot of time, since the sculptor is known to be very busy and at least appears to continue the ranges rather erratical

I am very tempted by those FFL for an entirely different and fictional use.
Great figures!

VBCW commandos?

I have yet to see the rocket-packs in use....

 This figures are really great and finally other brands have made the effort to make other armies and less known fronts ... until recently when people wanted something different all we had was Finland...for some reason...
 Its not simplistic former user because as you might gather I am from Portugal,we are talking shipping within Europe...99% of my products go to the USA and Australia...

[former user]

Yes, but this way round (Europe to overseas) it is different  . Every country has it's own postal charges and taxes that act differently on transactions.... it is all politics...

[Nostromo]

Yes-
The schedule for the 13th DBLE FM24/29 pack is to be released in May.

The problem with the release schedule these past 6 months has been mine for personal reasons which included a major move, not the sculptor.

I understand VAT problems and have reached out to some vendors in the UK and EU- there may be a solution out there at some point. 

As for shipping, Gorgon has offers on free shipping even on international orders.  I would email them for details.

Not VBCW, no.
I was considering them for my 'Khanistan' Spy-Fi project.
Not at all the right period but I do love the look of those figures so sod the 'correctness' of it all.
I may just cave in anyway.
 

As for the rocket-packs: They were for a VSF US Marine Corps force, but will now be used elsewhere.

I will wait until the range is somehow complete, next year would suit me well

I've been doing a bit of research on this theater, and there are some intriguing possibilities. It looks like at Narvik the Germans had ad hoc combined forces groups including Gebirgsjager, Fallschirmjager, and Kriegsmarine from vessels that were sunk in the naval battle. So you could theoretically field a force with all three types of figures in it.

The one thing I'm having trouble finding is information about armored forces. I came across a reference to the fact that the FFL landed at Narvik with five "light tanks,"  but I'm not sure what marks they were. Perhaps I'll start another topic to explore this question and what armored forces the Germans might have had.

I will definitely be placing an order with Gorgon for FFL and German mountain troops ASAP...

without claiming any knowledge, my guess would be tankettes to tow guns....

[worrywort]

There were five R35.

One of them is always in Norway !

An old war movie show them in real action on the beach with the foreign legion after a landing action !

[axabrax]

Just read the Osprey on the topic. Hotchkiss H-39 light tanks to be exact. Not much bigger than a tankette, really. Available in 28mm from Army Group North miniatures if anyone's interested:
