Saw these on the bolt action facebook page, the dismounted panzer crew has me very tempted.

Whilst other companies make them, I like Warlord's minis, so I may just pick up some of their mountain troops. That MP-40 is rather awful look though, but its not the first bad one I've seen from them.

I wonder if they'll have their own rules in the new German book, or just count as normal Grenadiers?

The winter minis are rather nice when one substitutes their heads with plastic ones but the Gebirgsjäger just aren't my cup of tea. Somehow the poses are too over the top for my taste.

I agree on the mp-40, its a tad big but the gebirgsjager have that funny too small head thing going on.

The tank crew are a must although I wish warlord would stop releasing german minis of a guy holding up a wounded comrade.

Many of them are cool. Some, not so.

I still cannot understand why they make an awful looking panzer crewman with a pistol and at the same time a wonderful-looking crewman holding a wounded comrade.

Like all their stuff, the odd gem interspersed amongst miles of dross.

I like most of these, got to agree with what's been said about some of the figures been a bit off?
Are we just getting spoilt for choice these days though, as these are far better than some of the tripe that we used to get.
They also seem to remind me of 40k stuff for some reason, that maybe deliberate by Warlord.

These are rather tasty indeed and as I have a large Winter Heer Force made from Artizan miniatures which lacks some Winter equipped support elements they couldn't have came at a better time

Funny I like the midde crewman, and am not struck about the guy supporting the other,

from what i heard, no special rules for the Gebirg ...
You can use them using the unofficial french alpine troop list ...

Don't know why they should have their own special rules in the first place? As you probably won't have a table built to depict an actual mountainous environment there's no need for extra rules. In the end they were just normal infantry when not scaling a cliff or skiing down a slope.
Odd thing they're all wearing only caps instead of helmets though...

they are less subject to Frostbite for exemple ...
i agree with the cap/helmet ...

That exactly! It's a shame that they can't really do nice faces somehow!
