Victrix Limited provides the heavy tactical reinforcements your Wehrmacht force requires with this 28mm scale set of modular Late War German Heavy Weapons Support. Engineered in high-grade polystyrene, these WWII miniatures offer the needle-sharp detail and anatomical precision necessary to field the better-trained and motivated troops of 1944–1945, such as Panzergrenadiers. For the dedicated hobbyist, this kit serves as the definitive firepower core for any late-war project, allowing every crewman and specialist to be customized with unique head and arm options to create a truly individual platoon.
This set is a comprehensive resource for kitbashers, packing 32 highly detailed figures across five high-density frames—including three dedicated heavy weapons sprues. You have the freedom to build a massive array of support elements, including tripod-mounted MG42s, 81mm mortars, Panzerschrecks, and Panzerfausts. Because these are true multi-part plastic figures, the parts swap naturally with the original Victrix German Infantry set and scale correctly with other popular WWII ranges to ensure your tabletop force looks like a cohesive, museum-quality combat unit.
