Eureka Miniatures: more pulp germans on dinosaurs!


Now available more pulp madness form Eureka Miniatures!

As if our previous Kriegsclaw release was not terrifying enough, Kosta Heristanidis has received the Department of War's approval to produce miniature versions of Hitler's terror weapons. Based on intelligence captured by Sgt Steele and his Dog Faces, and photographs glamorously shot the intrepid by 'Ginger Snaps', the Reich's latest V weapon and its monstrous ground support have been realized for the tactical sand table, in 28mm.


Playing a significant role in the protection of forward troops during the Battle of Kesserine Pass, the order was given to increase the number of Flakasaurus units and attach them to the two new Kriegsclaw Divisions being created for the Russian Front.

Arriving in time for the Kursk Offensive, the Flakasaurus once again proved its effectiveness in providing aerial defense capabilities to the embattled troops. Additional dinosaur-based vehicles soon began to emerge, including the Tricerawerfer and Jagdpanzersaur.

Initial trials with combat troops operating alongside Kriegsclaw units ended with unacceptably high casualty rates. German scientists solved the problem by coating the uniforms and equipment of their own troops with pheromones; chemical signals that dinosaurs would recognize as meaning 'do not eat'. Unfortunately, prolonged exposure to the chemicals caused respiratory difficulties for the troops, so they were issued with gas masks that had a reserve air tank.

Trained to work closely in support of Kriegsclaws and other dinosaur units, these troops were armed with MP40s and the new MP44 assault rifles, plus a variety of anti-armor weapons. As the Kriegsclaws advanced into contact, the assault troops would dismount and provide suppression fire and close support to the cavalry.

Variations of the breathing apparatus were produced that included a design suited for limited underwater operations and waterborne insertion by Kommandotruppen.
