Crafted for desert warfare scenarios, this boxed set recreates the men of the 7th Armoured Division—famously known as the “Desert Rats.” These troops played a crucial role in the Western Desert Campaign, fighting across Libya, Egypt, and Tunisia. Their lightweight kit, rugged field gear, and signature sun helmets defined the look of Britain’s desert forces.
Inside the box, you’ll find 38 multi-pose infantry in shirtsleeve order and desert shorts, ideal for building squads for skirmish or full platoon actions. Customization options allow hobbyists to convert several figures into Long Range Desert Group or SAS raiders, offering additional flexibility for scenario play. Support teams can be based using the included 20mm circular bases and 40mm square bases, making this set perfect for Bolt Action, Chain of Command, or any WWII desert theater ruleset.
Whether you're recreating the battles of Operation Crusader, the defense of Tobruk, or the sweeping push toward Tunisia, this set offers crisp sculpting, realistic uniforms, and deep hobby potential.
