Plastic Commandos Preview & Pre-orders!
In the next few days we’ll be releasing our latest plastic boxed set -Bolt Action WWII Commandos! Read on to see pics of the painted models, as well as some splendid offers!
 Commandos! Plastic Boxed Set

The plastics are almost here! Loads of options pepper the sprue along with plenty of posable plastic goodness. The modeling possibilities are vast!
 With the option of building your Commandos with tin hat or their trademark green beret this set also includes the deadly Fairbairn-Sykes combat knife, smatchet close quarters blade and the Commando bergen backpack.
 

Striking from the sea, most often from the dark, the army and naval Commandos caused great apprehension to German sentries and garrisons all over occupied Europe in their daring hit and run raids. The brainchild of Winston Churchill himself who had seen the damage Boer commandos could do to a static defensive force at first hand.
 This elite force (volunteers all) was Britain’s only viable way of taking a land war to the all conquering German army, who had thought themselves safe from Britain’s land forces.
 

Inside each box you’ll find:
 - Enough plastic components to make 25 British Commando miniatures. Includes a host of options to
allow for different weapon configurations and command models.
- Weapons included: Lee Enfield rifle No. 4 (plus scoped and bayoneted versions), Bren light machine gun,
Thompson sub-machine gun, 2″ mortar, Sten gun sub-machine guns, Webley revolver, Mills bomb grenades,
bandoliers and the Tommies’ trusty shovel!
- Round plastic bases (25mm diameter).
- Construction leaflet.
- Decals Set (including shoulder flashes for French /Inter-Allied units)
 

The popular perception of the Commandos is a small unit of men stealthily coming ashore with blackened faces to knock out some vital installation. And whilst that is indeed true the Commandos also fought as entire divisions on many occasions – truly a sight to strike fear into the hearts of Jerry and his chums!

Commando Characters

Lord Lovat was one of those characters you couldn’t make up. Tall, handsome and brave, he was born to the task of command, being in fact a Highland Laird. It was Lord Lovat who famously fought his way in land on D-Day to cross the bridges held by the British Paras, carrying a rifle, accompanied by his faithful bagpiper Millin!
 Millin was banned from playing when under fire by the English War office but Lovat claimed that it clearly could not apply in this case as they were Scottish! Millin survived cold water and enemy bullets, causing consternation and surprise wherever he went, some think he was not shot at by the Germans as they thought he was clearly insane!
 It would seem that Millin came ashore in kilt but discarded it inland, so we have included both leg variants for trousers and full kilt so you can decide how to represent him.
 Finally is the extraordinary maverick Brigadier Peter Young. Amongst Britains’ most interesting and most decorated soldiers, ‘The Brig’ was legendary in the Commandos. His troop was the only one to fully succeed at the disaster of Dieppe. Charismatic and intelligent, he was quite the pirate, but his men would go to extreme lengths to never let him down. We have him portrayed here with his trusty (‘borrowed’) Garand and cane. After the war he went on to be a top historian and write a best selling book about war gaming!

Commando Vickers HMG Team

Whilst the Commandoes did a lot of raiding and slitting of German sentry’s throats in WW2, they also fought in epic pitched battles requiring heavy kit to make Jerry and his henchmen keep his head down!
 This then is the Vickers machine gun. Given enough belts of 303 ammo and enough water to cool its barrel, this reliable gun would fire indefinitely. It is served by 3 crew.

Commando 3″ Mortar Team

When the Vickers gun couldn’t get a bead on the Boche, the good old 3” mortar was brought into action lobbing its lethal shells high before whistling down to spray shrapnel on those not able to find cover in time. The three inch mortar was used in all theatres by the Commandos and was a reliable and hard hitting weapon. The Warlord model is served efficiently by its crew of three.

Soll ich euch mal was verraten?

Einfach so unter uns ...

 

Ich hab zwar keinen Plan, was ich mit den Commandos anfangen sollte, aber kaufen werd ich sie mir trotzdem ... :thumbsup:

 

Die Briten und Deutschen aus Kunststoff hab ich schon und ich find sie sehr gelungen.

Also kann diese Box auch gar nicht schlecht sein.

Verd ..... jetzt habe ich gerade heute meinen britischen Fuhrpark in 1/72 fertiggestellt und die Figuren warten schon, aber ... an den Commandos werde ich nicht vorbeikommen ...
Soviel zu VorsÀtzen nichts in 28 mm und WW II. mehr zu machen.
