"Greek miniatures for WWII" Topic

Hello,

I was wondering if there are any manufacturers who make Greek minis for WWII (preferably 15mm) suitable for the Greek army in the earlier stages of the war (Balkan campaign, etc.)

Any info is appreciated!

Thanks,

Hi Hordini;

I remember seeing packs of Greek WWII infantry in 15mm.
I thought it was Resistant Roosters, but checking on their site, I don't see them.

But there are 15mm WWII Greeks out there.

Good hunting;

Falcon, maybe? I do recall that they were massive, though; looked very big even next to the beefier FOW sculpts; more like modest 20mm figures than 15s.

Hey thanks guys, I heard a rumor that Quartermaster had some, but their website doesn't seem to be…in existence. If you guys have any info about where I could find a listing of Quartermaster stuff, or a website that carries them, that would be cool too. Or any other info on Greek minis at all.

Thanks,

That's the ones I was thinking of – Falcon made them and Quartermaster distributed them….

Dom is correct. I made the mistake of buying some.

Having seen them myself – I have to agree with Allen.

If you can not find specific Greek figures you may consider converting/using Italians the rifles only differ slightly and the Breda Lmg looks very similiar to the Hotchkiss M22 Lmg. The helmets and temperate Italian uniforms are very similiar, the major difference being the equipment, but I have seen photographs of Greek troops using Italian equipment. If you like I can send you an article I wrote for the SOTCW on a GreeK Infantry company and how to convert 20mm plastic troops.

So where can I find some pictures of them? Or an online place to buy them….because Quartermaster's website doesn't seem to work. Does Quartermaster even exist anymore?

That would be awesome Andysyk, PM me the link or the file or whatever. Or you can email it to me at jordandhurst at hotmail

Ok Ive sent it to your email address let me know if there is any problems.

I got it, thanks a lot Andy. Do you have any recommendations on 15mm Italians to use as Greeks?

I not sure in 15mm, but you need to avoid SMG armed figures they are of no use as Greeks.
Bereeta Smg's were actually very rare in the Italian army pre armistice but figure manufacturures seem to love adorning Italian figures with them.

Peter Pig would be my recommendation for Italians – very nice figures.

FAA makes Greeks in 20mm scale, including IIRC evzones.

Hope this helps!

There were undoubtedly more Beretta SMGs in the Italian army than Bereeta SMGs.

Second Dom's recommendation for Peter Pig Italians, especially the newer packs. They will also mix quite well with Battlefront's fucilieri (the latter indeed being lavishly provided with one SMG per NCO..)
