Wow, great looking figures. I have too many late war Germans already but this is sorely tempting me. |

panzer gren squads of the lehr div. had 2 mg 42's.

I like the pose variety, and the sculpts. There seems to be quite a variety of different helmet shapes though. |

Okay finally, I got rid of my Last lot of Panzer Lehr from Artizan when he started sculpting the weapons to more realistic proportions which just looked wrong on 28 mm plus too fragile (yip some barrels broke off) but he's look like the original robust and to gamer scale, so yeah I'll have to get some again, sigh!
The differing helmet shapes is just some are in covers and others not. Nice sculpts.
Cheers, I'm thinking I might even imagi-nation their uniforms, good idea? |

I love Artizan figures. Glad to see the late war line back. |
| Disco Joe | 11 Nov 2015 4:26 p.m. PST |
So are these truly brand new or just select figures from all the packs that they had released before? |

I'm with Oddball, Artizan is the real deal! |

Awesome! It will be great to supplement the 1st Gen Artizan PL with the lads. |

It looks like Mike got rid of the newer smaller rifles and went back to the original rifle from his earlier late war German range so they are compatible. Lehr is one of my favorite units to game because of the unique uniform, elite status, and they were in the thick of the action against the Brits and the US in Normandy. I was hoping to see two LMG teams in the squad, but as long as separate LMG teams make it into the range and they actually get support weapons this time, I'll be happy. Hard to see the LMG in the pic. Is it the guy on the left with the gun on his shoulder? |

The whole idea of Panzer Lehr uniquely wearing the panzer wrap around is in feldgrau just FoW BS. The feldgrau wrap was originally created for assaultgun crews who needed the tighter fitting uniform so as not to get caught on projections in thier vehicles when bailing out same as panzer crews. It was done in feldgrau since they were artillerymen and not part of the panzer arm. Later panzergrenadiers took a liking to the uniform claiming it would aid them in exiting the halftracks. Later in the war you can see more and more pzrgdr wearing them in pictures. But they are not unique to the panzer lehr. |

*rolls eyes Except that in Normandy '44 they were one of the few if only units to adapt that uniform for their panzgren units. Yes the stug units wore it first but PzLehr wore them first in mass issue to their panzgren units while only later did it catch on with other troops. Sure, by '45 lots of other units might have had some, but by that time pretty much anything goes anyway. It's not a FOW thing. |
