The Second World War saw the rise of armoured fighting vehicles, in particular the tank, from experimental designs based on unfounded theories to fully developed war machines capable of incredible destruction. Wherever nations clashed, tanks could be found, often having a pivotal impact on the outcome of battles and campaigns.
Achtung Panzer! places you in command of a platoon of World War II tanks, armoured cars or assault guns as you clash with enemys armour.
The Achtung Panzer! Soviet Army Tank Force allows you to deploy five iconic Soviet tanks to take on the enemies of the Motherland. The trio of no-nonsense T-34/76 medium tanks with their great balance of mobility, firepower, and protection are more than ably supported by the monstrous KV-1/KV-2 and IS-2 heavy tanks which pack a serious punch and bring massively thick armour to the table, giving your platoon a great breakthrough capability for your T-34s to exploit.
The Achtung Panzer! US Army Tank Force gives you five classic American tanks to help liberate the oppressed nations of Europe and bring the might of US industry to the tabletop. This balanced, powerful force is built around a trio of the ubiquitous Sherman M4A3E8 Easy Eights, which combine serious firepower from their 76mm guns with decent levels of mobility and protection, supported by a pair of fast lighter elements – the M18 tank destroyer is capable of annihilating enemy armour from ambush, while the M5 Stuart is perfect for scouting, flanking, and harassing the foe.
The Achtung Panzer! German Army Tank Force provides five legendary German tanks with which to take on Allied armour. With a rock-solid core of hard-hitting late-model Panzer IVs mounting long 75mm guns and capable of dealing with whatever the Allies throw at them, backed up by the anti-tank punch of a Hetzer tank destroyer and the infamous armoured might of a Tiger I to anchor your platoon, this force is more than capable of taking on the best the Allies can bring to bear. With plenty of long-ranged punch at your disposal, your enemies will learn to fear open ground!
The Achtung Panzer! British Army Tank Force gives you five legendary armoured vehicles to bring the battle to the Axis. Centred around a trio of rugged Churchill infantry tanks (which can be assembled in one of no fewer than seven variants to suit your specific playstyle or chosen theatre), and backed up by the potent firepower of a Lend-Lease M10 Wolverine tank destroyer and rapid mobility courtesy of a Humber armoured car, this set allows you to get right into the thick of the fighting! It also makes a brilliant first expansion for your British force if you have already got the Blood and Steel starter set!
The Soviet armoured juggernaut that rolled through Eastern Europe and into Germany was as much the product of its crews as its vehicles – and these hardy Russian tankers exemplify the kind of men (and women!) who took the fight to the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front. With six partial figures including a female commander to mount in your hatches, plus three dismounted and fighting on foot, this pack gives you a great, simple way to add loads of character to any Soviet Bolt Action or Achtung Panzer! collection.
US tankers have been the heroes of script and screen since their entry into the Second World War, and this band of furious tank-men display the fighting spirit and grit that made them Hollywood legends. The four partial mounted figures (and a fifth firing the ubiquitous pintle-mounted HMG so beloved of US armour crews) alongside the pair of dismounts fighting their way to safety are the perfect addition to make any American Achtung Panzer or Bolt Action force really stand out!
Ready to take on all comers, these tank-mounted Tommys are up for a fight! With four different partial figures to mount in the hatches of your Shermans, Cromwells, or Churchills (or indeed any other tank in our extensive range!), plus three fantastic dismounted figures representing either bailed-out crew or tank commanders performing forward reconnaissance, this set is the perfect way to add character to any British Achtung Panzer! or Bolt Action force. Get a brew on, lads!
Grimhold Exiles are the survivors of fallen magmaholds, warriors who fight to honour their lost kin with each blazing hammer-strike. So inspiring and tragic are these individuals, they are often accompanied by a band of dedicated warriors from other magmaholds who proudly follow them into battle.
The lives of the Fyreslayers revolve around battle, for these grizzled duardin mercenaries will fight on behalf of any who meet their price in gold. Renowned for their fearsome tempers and unrivalled martial skills, the Fyreslayers seek treasure to gather the essence of their long-lost deity, Grimnir. Inspired by Battlesmiths bellowing the deeds of their forebears, stalwart Hearthguard warriors and unyielding Vulkite Berzerkers charge into battle, craving glory and gold alike.
Auric Runesmiters are war priests of unrivalled power and renown amongst the Fyreslayers, channeling the spirit of Grimnir into the lodge's warriors through ur-gold runes. Mounted atop a fearsome Magmadroth, a Runesmiter tears their way into the heart of battle in a wave of sacred flame, incinerating gathered foes even as they imbue their kin with uncanny strength and resilience.
