Thoughts on Warlord's German Veteran Infantry figures

Maybe a bit of scale creep with the new designs ?
It’s not easy to maintain same look & feel when you’re using distance instead of scale 😉

I think someone said they’re using Wargames Atlantic now for their new plastic infantry (vehicles are Italeri designs I think) and have used a different artist / company for the ‘old’ sprues, which may explain the tiny differences.

They probably have different sculptors for each set ( could be AI ) some equipment ie: the MG ammo drum carrier is a different size in the new Veteran set compared to the Winter German set . And IRC  the 2 inch mortar ammo case is different as well in the Desert Rats box versus the newer Brits box .

The WA figures are of  a nonheroic body  style , clothing details aren’t crisp and some of the gear ( pistols/ knives ) being oversized  and other bits ( rifles ) under  scale IMO . I have at least a sprue of each WW1 & WW2 sets for kit bashing . The heads are flat at the neck to fit the WA body so BA heads need surgery to fit .  The 0200 game figures  ( WA made them ) are of the same style , I will  probably build them out of the box ( boring ) and just use them for that game .
