Command Decision line in 15mm from Old Glory is nice.

The same range is available through Skytrex.

Add QRF to the list of 15mm figures. Essex also have a small 15mm WWII range.

Although Eurkea have lovely figures, they don't have 15mm WWII Germans. Italians, US, Chinese, Russian, Australian, & Gurkhas IIRC.

I really liked the  Germans Jim Bowen sculpted for Chiltern (now sold by SHQ) but they are too big to fit in with anything else, so I know I am in a minority.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

A couple of corrections in 28mm

Empress - there are sadly no 28mm Empress ww2 Germans. They have a few 20mm German vehicle and artillery crew

Offensive - do a small but good range of Afrika Korps and Fallschirmjagers


Of all of these, I am struggling to find attractively modeled early war German infantry in a scale compatible with Perry or the Dutch from May 40.  Artizan and Crusader are good but just too big.  Any ideas?

Drop WArmodelling from your 20mm list. The original sculptor has retrieved his rights and now Capitan games are not allowed to trade that minis.

Look at Xan Miniatures (the original sculptor), he is going to do germans in a near future. Now it has AA crews and panzergrenadiers for sdkfz 251. Steel 72 is another option.

In 54mm there is also a lot of quality plastic producers, like TSSD (makes a load of plastic WW2 and other sets), Conte, CTS, and some others. All great stuff.  There is also of course the 1/32 range of 21st Century Toys that made loads of pre-painted 1/32 AFVs and figures...sadly WalMart drove them into bankruptcy!

Yes missed from the list IT miniatures WW2 ranges, now under the Frontline banner. I'm still sorting through the moulds and spinning of samples but the ones already posted on this forum are ready to go.

Australian company 'Wartime Miniatures' have a small range of 28mm Australians and Japanese (including SNLF) with some quite unique pieces.

I believe they also have a more extensive 20mm range although I do have any personal experience of them.

Doh! Sorry that's me not reading the original post properly.

Not in 28mm, they do in 20mm the though. Fallschirmjager, Panzer Lehr and Volkssturm

I can see that the Heer 46 line is missing from there (they were mentioned on the first page). They're actually released now instead of a crowd funding campaign.

Might be worth noting that the Heer 46 and CP Models are all wearing parkas (which is sort of unique among the lines).

I have added Heer 46 in its own section as most of the figures are 1/48
I also added notes to CP
