Any preassembled plastic Nazi minis out there?
« on: 30 March 2017, 02:12:09 PM »
I was wondering if anyone here knew of any preassembled 28mm plastic Nazi minis on the market, preferably prepainted.  It it funny that WW2 is a huge gaming industry but there are no games with plastic 28mm pre assembled Nazis, like the stormtroopers from Imperial Assault. Where is FFG's Wolfienstien board game. Thanks

I'm not sure that you'll have much luck with this one, the only pre-paints that come to mind that might fulfil the criteria are from Tannhauser (I think Fantasy Flight still support it). It's an early example of the miniatures board game genre & a good number of figure expansion packs were made.
 It's set in a universe where WWI never ended (it's 'now' 1949) so the Germans aren't exactly Nazis, but the uniforms are close enough in this case. The minis are a mixed bunch - some excellent, some... not. You might be better off scouring Ebay for the figures - good luck with the project!

Forces of valor, maybe.  They might be smaller than 28mm though.   WW2 is a popular market but not at that size.

An old friend runs a painting company out of Sri Lanka. They put together some nice table top Afrika Korps and Waffen for me.

Gun bunny,

Actually I have, unfortunately the axis troops are the hardest thing to find on the market right now.  The Afrika corp stuff from the latest kickstarter  does have a classic german uniform look as well.
