Warlord Games: Plastic vehicles!

Hi, I just found out that Warlord Games has released their first plastic vehicle set! The set is called Panzergrenadiers and contains no less then 3 plastic hanomags and 30 plastic grenadiers for a price of £60.00. Interested? Here's some more information: "The Panzergrenadier boxed set sees the debut of the first in a series of hard plastic WWII vehicles for our Bolt Action range – the Sd.Kfz 251/1 ausf C half-track. More commonly known as ‘Hanomag’ this is the very epitome of Hitler’s mechanised forces."

"Few vehicles are as instantly identifiable as the Sd.Kfz 251, or Hanomag as it was also known. Combining speed, protection and firepower, it ensured the infantry would break through to take and hold enemy positions. Its cross-country performance was much better than any truck and enabled infantry to stay with the leading Panzers for mutual support. The Germans produced many thousands of these excellent machines and they served on most fronts from the fall of France to the last days in Berlin. The factories of the Third Reich could never make enough, so most panzergrenadier divisions only carried one third of their men in such luxury; the rest were in a motley assortment of trucks."

"This 1/56th scale plastic kit is designed with the wargamer in mind – relatively few parts allows you to get it on the tabletop quickly but not at the expense of accuracy or detail. There are several optional extras (such as MG34 or MG42 machine guns, stowage, etc) in the kit meaning your Hanomags will look different every time. In addition, each Hanomag comes with a sheet of full colour waterslide decals to finish it off perfectly."

Not a bad price, wish they had them in single sets but one upfront cost isn't bad to get 3 squads with vehicles...

No worry they will also be released individually.
