WWII German Miniatures Like Never Before – Victrix Raises the Bar! #OTTWeekender
April 18, 2025 by crew
It's OTTWeekender time! Victrix have raised the bar and their scale for a new range of WWII miniatures in 28mm, with the first release being a German infantry platoon with all the support options you could wish for to get you started in a fully plastic force for tabletop warfare!
But Victrix aren't alone in second world war action this week, Battlefront head to the Pacific as does Firelock Games with their supplement for the War Stories RPG. Don't worry though if you're not a WWII player we have medieval miniatures, rules, and even some jousting fun with Hairfoots and Goblins taking to the lists!

The Victrix 28mm Germans are sssesooooooo tempting. Alas I’m currently in the middle of assembling and painting 80+ warlord German Grenadiers. I suppose my Grenadier force could grow. I hope Victrix makes Soviets soon
They have renders up.
The best news I’ve heard in ages!
Ah, se Weekender!
😁
Actually getting watch live for once
The WGA Germans look great.
Those Vitrix minis are stunning been watching them over the last few weeks.
Going to have to check out War Stories. It looks awesome! Have a great weekend!
Happy Easter weekender people’s 👍🏅👍
Figure differences between materials may be down to the die’s to make the figures @avernos ?
The kamikaze tanker was he a grounded pilot🤔💣💥 ?
Fab show guy’s
I want Space Gits! (Who doesn’t).
Had I seen those Victrix before I bought the Afrika Korps I would have bought those Fokkers instead…
A lot of nice releases this week.
I’m really liking the look of Barons war, a friend picked the box up at Salute so hoping to play soon!
Nice 🙂
thanks as normal guys
Yay! I made it through a weekender without being talked in to buying stuff!
It’s a good Weekender, and Malifaux 4e looks exciting!
Oh I loved Malifaux. I’d love a game of 2nd edition some time. Does that translate into wanting to go fourth, as it were? I’m not so sure.
Gonna have to get Space Gits for drinking night!
Malifaux 4th edition hype! Thanks for the shoutout and the kind words dudes!
Going to have to check out some size comparisons, between Victrix, Fireforge, Perrys, Warlord Games, Warlord Atlantic, Northstar and Gripping Beast ranges with the plastics!
Seen some already, they should be around the same size as Perry, but that means they will look great with all the 1/56 vehicle kits like the ones Warlord and Rubicon do.
Once again, my weekend starts late!
