Masses Of New 15mm WWII Germans Reinforce Plastic Soldier Company
April 21, 2015 by brennon
Three new sets of 15mm miniatures are now up for pre-order by Plastic Soldier Company. Not only do they now have a new set of SdKfz 250 alte Halftracks but also new German Grenadiers and Early War Heavy Weapons Teams...
Halftracks Provide Covering Fire
The first set to look at is the selection of Halftracks that allow you to fix them up with a variety of weapons include the likes of a Mortar and HMG as well as being kitted out for troop transport...
The colour coded sprue above shows you what components are needed for which Halftrack and you have a nice variety of choice here. It's nice to see some crew options too. The set will allow you to make five models so you can have all of the variants if you so wish.
Masses Of (Plastic) Soldiers
If you're looking for a huge contingent of infantry to help your push into Allied territory then consider the HUGE Grenadier set which works for troops during the period of 1944 in Normandy. Do you fancy having 141 models to add to your German army?
As you can see above the actual miniatures are very nicely detailed for 15mm scale and there's no problem with massive heads or weird distorted bodies. Considering that at this level of wargaming you need a lot of soldiers this could easily be a one stop shop for your entire amount of on foot infantry.
Big Guns
If you're looking to bring down some vehicles or indeed just shell infantry from range then there's also a cool Heavy Weapon set from Plastic Soldier Company which looks ace too...
The set gives you four of each of the following including an MG34, 82mm Mortar, Pak 38 Anti-Tank Gun, 75mm Infantry Guns and finally a Flamethrower team.
Do you fancy bolstering your German army come Salute?

Wermacht keeps marching on like tidal wave in plastic form.
The boy will want all of them. PSC do awesome models and minis – and they don’t cost very much either. Really nice if you ring them too.
Yep I love their models, they go together very well too. Quick to build and they look excellent
I might have to get a box or two and start flames of war while i wait on them scaling up to 28mm for bolt action…
I’m thinking the opposite and might be using these for scaled down Bolt Action lol
These actually look really cool when it comes to 15mm
Infantry look a little more chunky than I remember. Have they changed their ratios?
These looks nice! I am partial towards batelfronts sculpts becuse of there heroic scale, think they paints up better and looks good from across the table. That being said PSC makes good stuff^^

I think the first infantry releases were scaled down 20/28mm figures.They were ‘true scale’.
However they were perceived to be a bit ‘flimsy ‘ especially rifles snapping off.(I am quite clumsy though.)
I believe the new ‘beefed up’ minatures are an attempt to make the figures a bit more robust for table top.(And they look closer to the current metal ranges too.)
The 250’s are most welcome as are the Panzer grenadiers. I am not really into the early war period so much (Rommel’s arrival in North Africa is my starting point of interest) but the wee infantry gun has its uses.
