Want to throw Otto Eduard Leopold von Bismarck into your collection? Well, Wargames Illustrated has made him the newest 28mm scale character for their Giants In Miniature collection and he is available to snap up right now.
Otto von Bismarck // Wargames Illustrated
Bismarck's Germany expanded under his command and wars were fought with Denmark, Austria and France. He would never actually command any troops on the battlefield but he is often portrayed in his uniform, focusing on the militarism of Germany during the period.
With that said, maybe you could use this miniature as more than just an interesting painting project. You could easily throw Bismarck into the mix as a "Weird" character who actually is commanding soldiers on the tabletop.
If nothing else, these Giants In Miniature releases get you thinking about a particular period of history and the characters that populated it. It's always fun to dive in and do a bit of research about them and think up how they might be included in your tabletop games.
Are you going to be snapping up Bismarck?

I just snapped this fellow up to lead my Prussian forces as they invade England for my Battle of Dorking project
Bane of my A-Level history. If only teenage me knew how fascinating middle aged me would find this period I might have gone to university at the traditional time.
I loved this period during my A-Levels. I was quite fascinated by Bismarck’s ability to tie everyone around in knots of treaties, ententes and so forth. I also focused on Otto and the Franco-Prussian war during University as well. Napoleon might have been a great strategist on the field of battle, but Bismarck matched him in the halls of diplomacy and intrigue.
Also, he was bold like Captain Picard! Really sexy!
He looks shipshape.
By Iron and Blood.
Fantastic figure as always from the Giants in Miniature range, really add a bit of something different. Picked one up to lead my Prussian forces
