Building on their Battlegroup collection, the team at Plastic Soldier Company have produced another 20mm set of Afrika Korps Germans based on the Adler Miniatures collection.

This is a full platoon for you to use in the game and comes with plenty of options to get you started in the North Africa campaign. You get an HQ, NCOs, Riflemen and LMG Teams which are both walking and prone.

The miniatures are looking great and the painted previews you see above are by Piers Brand who works on most of their range. As with the rest of the old Adler Miniatures collection, this set has been brought to life in Ultracast so if you've liked the way the range has been dealt with then you'll have more fun with these.
If you're interested in diving in and checking out the Afrika Korps then you can pit them against the British now!

They do look very nice with a good paint job
They look great but I’ve already got a 28mm army of DAK unfortunately…
Ooh nice figures.
Very nice. Are they hard or soft plastic?
The range is fully Ultracast so far. I haven’t had chance to get hold of any but I’ve heard good things. From reading the comments and thoughts of people who have made a purchase the plastic is robust, durable but also pliable which helps any initial clean up. It’s a very light plastic apparently that can be painted without a primer. The plastic has certainly taken the detail nicely. Reminds me of the old airfix soldiers i had as a kid. Hopefully if anyone has had any issues they will add a comment below.
Yeah the plastic is fine sharp enough blade is all that’s needed for clean up.I will say I’ve had some models that haven’t needed any and some quite a bit. You don’t have to prime them but I have been out of habit. More than willing to buy more
Thanks @torros it’s helpful to hear from someone who’s had hands on. Likely I would also prime out of habit ?
@ands I was just looking at the site and it looks like price of all the box sets have just gone up in price by about £5
That’s a little cheeky of them, well spotted ?
@ands some have gone up £10. The War and Empire starter boxes seem better value now
That’s part of the Forged in Battle range, I’d forgotten about them, they look very nice indeed.
