Just a quick post to say that I've fired off a small order to Peter Pig before their prices go up on the 15th. I've asked for a couple of packs of WW2 Germans with Assault Rifles to use as WWW2 Nazis.
Peter Pig 15mm: PBI range pack 550
Peter Pig 15mm: PBI range pack 66I've also included some Panzerfausts - not for tank hunting, they will be armed with proximity fused shrapnel warheads to counter the Zombie threat. Of course, a few months earlier the Panzerfaust warheads were filled with the 'Z' Virus and fired at groups of advancing Soviets to turn them into a mindless rabble. Nazi science could not predict the terrible wrath of Hell they would be sowing....turning friend and foe alike into ravenous, brain eating monsters.
A new battle is being fought on the plains of Poland and at the gates of Berlin. Not for victory or defeat but simply survival!
PopQuiz: If you could get a sprue of WWW2 german heads to convert these miniatures - what heads would you want? German helmets with gasmasks? Field caps with gasmasks? Field caps with goggles? Leave your own ideas below.
Issue Wehrmacht WW2
M35 helmet and gasmask

Helmets with gasmasks, maybe WW1 "long face" style so I could use them for Rogue Trooper Norts as well.
ReplyDeleteI would go for helmets with gasmasks as well as field caps with gasmasks just for variety.
ReplyDeleteWhat about additional armour on the front of the helmet like the WW1 M1916 sentry's helmet and a comms box on one side?

One phrase comes to mind.
ReplyDelete"Are you my mommy?"
I'd go for gas mask helmets. Like the one above or one with two filters.

Extra cool images Phil ! I especially like the dogs in their special gas masks. What were they used for if they couldn't their noses ?
ReplyDeleteHow about a mixed sprue ? One type of each gas mask variant on a sprue of five ?
Gasmasks with helmets. I agree with GJD on the long face and using them as Norts.
ReplyDeleteI also like the mixed sprue.
The sculptor started working on the sprue. What do you say about 2 heads in helmets, 2 in field caps and an officer ? All in gas masks of course.
