Alt. Wehrmacht GB?

puddingwrestler · March 05, 2010, 02:57:17 PM

Since we are having an alt. Luftwaffe GB, why not alt. Wehrmacht? It's one of the most popular modeling themes after all in it's non alt. forms, so let us alt. it up!

I bring this up because I went to Eureka Miniatures last night, and amidst the traditional chat with the crazy Englishmen who run it I picked up a: a flyer for 'Little Wars' - a gaming convetion at which 'Jurassic Reich' will be played, and b: a pre-release Jurassic Reich figure; a German soldier with MP-40 riding a Velociraptor...

Also frogs, but those are another story.

Not a bad idea PW, that includes the Liftwaffe, Heer and the Kriegsmarine. A hell of a lot of scope for building and bashing!! It gets my vote when it comes up for the vote.

There's a figure manufacturer in the UK (or was) who made a series of 4 amphibian armies. Idea was that a local med research lab tech got rid of flasks of various chemicals in the local pond. The newts, frogs, toads etc all evolved so to speak into 4 separate civilisations which as all civilisations do, went to war. One such civilisation's army was based on The Wehrmacht and had biped newts in Afrika Korps kit with MP40's

Since they use basically the same stuff as the Whermacht, I assume people would just include them automatically. Same goes for the Afrika Korps, and the Dresden City Council Street Sweeper Department.

This bears thinking about. Anybody know if any one makes replacement gun barrels for 1/72 tanks? I've
been thinking about the flak turret version of the E-100 for awhile...

puddingwrestler · March 11, 2010, 01:26:15 PM

Pretty sure I have seen them my dear doctor.

^ The Prussian "Lange Kerls" (long guys) had to be 6 feet tall. How tall did these troopers have to be? 10 feet?

Looking around on JOSHNIZZI.COM, it seems the background story of the pic is called "Hollow Earth" and further research (pestering Google) has revealed this is being/has been developed into a comic.
