I have a bunch of Atrizan 28mm for east front, but I am looking to do a D-Day project and would like to see what everyone else has used. Thanks in advance for any photos. |

I'd still go with Artizan. There was news that they are revamping their Germans that aren't in camo – Panzer Lehr, guys in regular tunics – but that was some time ago and haven't heard anything since. |

I love Artizan figures. Use them for all of my British and Germans in North Africa. |

I bought a pile of the Artizan Panzer Lehr before the allies captured them. Hoping they reappear. I mixed in some of the Artizan late war guys in smocks to add a little variety – static mgs, mortars, and what not. |

Artizan is great but most of their late war Germans are either wearing smocks or draped with zeltbahnen. If you're looking for Germans garbed simply in grey-green tunics and helmets without covers you're better off with Warlord plastics as far as variety is concerned. Crusader Germans are nice too but they're 1941 – 1943 mid-war rather than late-war Germans. The Assault Group might be an alternative for '44 – '45 Germans if you prefer metal figures. Victory Force also has an extensive range of late war Germans, but their figures tend to stand "above" the rest in size. |

Battle Honors late war Germans are nice figures. Look a lot like photos you see of troops in Normandy I think. Shorter jacket, many with rolled up sleeves, some wearing hats (with helmets hanging on the gear), short boots with gaiters. |

I like Black Tree (sculpted by Nick Collier). Mean looking bastards! |

Battle Honours' minis can't be beat for their variety, but they might not match up size-wise with the other popular ranges. BTD is very nice, but like Crusader their so-called "Stalingrad" Germans are mid-war types with jackboots. Another option you might take a look at is Gothic Line Miniatures. They're a small operation but the minis look quite characterful: link |

Westwinds's Berlin or Bust range? |

Not the BoB range as they're on the small side of 28mm, but their SHS (Separate Head System) range would work. |

My favorites are Battle Honors and Gothicline Miniatures! |
