Victrix Limited has redefined the standard for World War II tactical gaming with this 28mm scale set of 44 modular Late War German Infantry, providing the most comprehensive platoon-level toolkit available in high-grade polystyrene. Unlike traditional static casts, these Warriors of Antiquity (WWII series) are engineered with 14 unique body designs and 28 interchangeable heads, capturing the battle-hardened aesthetic of Panzergrenadiers from 1944–1945. For the dedicated hobbyist, this kit offers unparalleled anatomical precision, allowing you to recreate the elite, well-equipped frontline troops of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS with historically accurate Zeltbahns, camo smocks, and late-war webbing.
The versatility of this massive set is its primary value proposition, functioning as a complete army starter for skirmish systems like Bolt Action, Chain of Command, or V for Victory. Beyond standard riflemen, the sprues are packed with essential support elements including 81mm mortars, tripod-mounted MG42s, Panzerschrecks, and Panzerfausts, alongside specialized figures like medics, snipers, and radio operators. Because these are true multi-part plastic figures, the kitbashing potential is nearly infinite, scaling seamlessly with other premium metal miniatures and Victrix vehicles like the Panther or Tiger I to ensure your late-war force maintains a consistent, museum-quality finish across the tabletop.

Recommended Essentials
-
Professional Pairing: For authentic uniform markings and divisional insignia, pair these figures with WWII German Infantry Transfers to provide that microscopic level of detail on helmet decals and shoulder boards.
-
The Heavy Support Edge: While this set provides a full platoon, integrating Victrix 1/56 Scale German Vehicles like the Sd.Kfz.251 Hanomag will give your Panzergrenadiers the historical mobility they require on the table.
-
Speed Painting Path: Start with a Light Grey Primer or a dedicated German Field Grey Primer to preserve the sharp textures of the uniforms while speeding up the base-coating process for your rank-and-file.
-
Maintenance & Care: Use a Precision Hobby Knife to remove mold lines from the weapon barrels and mortar bipods before priming to ensure a competition-ready silhouette.
