Marauder Gun Runners announces WWll line

[azslogan]

Announced on their Facebook page...

Marauder "Gun-Runners" If we are working on a large project, we will make our intentions known early in the process. Here is the "official" notice that we are planning a World War 2 series of figures and weapons. More details to follow, but now we are on record so if others annonce similar projects, our project is not a surprise. ;-) MJ

Could be cool, if they don't give us the same shit everyone else has. Die Ostfront mit sowjetische Untermenschen, bitte!

At least we'll get some fly WWII kit, though they aren't going to top Dragon's StG.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Coupled with modern stuff, it could make for some really cool customs.

[K-Tiger]

I suspect we'll get early-mid war Germans (think Hiya's) and 'Muricans. Not that I couldn't use a good WWII American buck. I still want to do that WWIICATDS.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

WWII bulldozer?

 

[K-Tiger]

Captain America That Doesn't Suck.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Am I remembering incorrectly, or did you not already attempt that?

 

[K-Tiger]

I started, but didn't get far. Still have the shield, though.

 

[Pickelhaube]

This has been done time and again.

We need a WW1 line and now !!

 

[K-Tiger]

Not gonna happen, sadly.

 

[CoreyD]

Hopefully we'll get some British and Russian soldiers out of it

 

[NSA]

Something different would be nice.. but as long as the figures get along nicely with the ton of 1:18 WWII stuff out there.. it could be cool.

 

[jennynichole]

This is the BEST news!

Yup, what he said, if I remember correctly the Germans lost, their tanks were underproduced, over complicated and unreliable, '' Tiger'' ''Panther'' the Russians were near death, built the BEST tank of the war and kicked ass, the British won the air war against a Giant, let's see some love for the under rated and overlooked Allies who helped us Win !!
Yes I said Tigers and Panthers were unreliable, only approximately 1,000 Tigers were built, most of them broke down before they ever got to the front lines, crews were ordered not to tow or pull other tanks or vehicles with them because the transmissions would grenade, Panthers had similar issues. I still don't understand why everyone thinks they wer so great.

Hey the Sherman wasn't THAT bad. you know, once the British fixed them!

Because they could kill practically EVERY AFV the Allies fielded, and at considerably longer ranges than the Allied AFVs could engage at.

What you said, however, is generally true. Grossly over-complicated engineering is a compulsion Germans still have even today. It didn't help that Der Führer was making decisions on what was getting funded.

Make the Panther reliable and reduce the Sherman's and T-34's production numbers and I think you find the story quite different. As to the Battle of Britain, I think that was Hitler's interference again.

WW1 would make a Hell of a 1:18 action figure line! Hell, trench raider figures alone! Would like to see some WW2 commonwealth forces.

 

[MMorelock66]

Definitely good news. Finally, I could actually buy MGR figures because those current ones don't do shit for me.

Hey now, hey now, don't dream, it's, o-ver...

Has anyone asked or polled to find out if there's any interest in wwI, if enough, would there be a castor or castors willing to make/sculpt helmets and gear and possibly a few figures ? I'd be down for some .
