In my never-ending quest to reduce all conflicts to my favorite scale models, I've been collecting ideas for WWWII. There's not tons of stuff out there, but there are some good options:

1. GHQ Wehrmacht '47 - for "standard" units - tanks, personnel carriers, and infantry. Plans are to release conjectural Allied equipment as well over the next few months.

2. Majic Miniatures - currently have a large German walker, the Mineraumpanzer, a couple other interesting vehicles, German UFOs, aliens, werewolves, and vampires. No zombies; plans for more walkers to be released in the future.

3. Raiden Miniatures - their '46 series aircraft.

4. DP9 have a few aircraft as well, from their defunct Luftkrieg game. They also have free paper stand-ups of their 15mm walkers, which could be used as templates for scratch-building (or rescaled and used as they are - if you're into almost-3d gaming).

5. Adler Dark Star - the walkers from this range would be good basic hulls for conversions.

6. GZG - their humanoid walkers (especially the Fat Boy and Sturmkampfer) would work well; the Kravak infantry, painted the right way, would make nice armored troopers.

7. Exodus Wars - their Guild Assault Centuria would work as jump-pack troopers, as long as you don't mind the helmets being decidedly non-WWII. A bit o' green stuff could fix that.

8. Minifigs N-scale vehicles can be a good start for converting some Russian monster tanks, especially the T-35.

For those wanting zombies, painting some 6mm infantry (using Navwar figures, as they're a bit beefier and less defined than GHQ) with different flesh colors and some red /flesh markings on the uniforms might suffice. They and  Scotia also make a selection of WWII vehicles that would serve well as the basis for conversions.

If anyone else has some suggestions I haven't thought of, please pipe up!

Edited to include links I forgot the first time...

Aren't the zombies the mainstay of WWWII?  :oops:

And they can in their civil state (if ever there was such one) be had from Exodus Wars.

Armstrong has some more obscure WW2 armor and vehicles;

http://www.armstrongmodels.org/


It's the only place you can find a 6mm Covenanter tank, for those that want to collect the whole "Cruiser" tank series.

Thanks for the Armstrong link - I'd never seen those before!

As I was cruising the GHQ website early today, I noticed that the US M26E4 Pershing, M39 personnel carrier, Soviet T-44/100 and BTR-40 are currently available. The UK Centurion Mk. 1 and Tortoise will be out at the end of next month as well.
