Mutton Chop Miniatures… A New Take on an Old Theme
July 4, 2011 by beerogre
You may not have seen these guys, but Mutton Chop Miniatures have been quietly expanding their range of WW1/WW2 compatible miniatures while the rest of us have been missing out.
Mutton Chop have gone for a characterful design that makes their miniatures stand out. So lets have a look at what's available from their range.
First up is their latest model... the Croyden Crusher... this is a very pulp style vehicle that wouldn't look out of place on a Secret of the 3rd Reich or AE-WW2 game. A WW2 Quad bike with a machinegun mounted on it... what's not to love!
Next is some of the best miniatures in their range... the Windy Chaps... anyone familiar with a certain book by Kenneth Grahame might recognise these gentlemen.
Next we have a set of Tank Commanders. Always useful for a bit of customisation for your WW2 vehicles.
Finally, we have a very upper crust character model... Lord Cirencester... If you were looking for that stereotypical English Officer to lead your troops to defeat or victory against the Boche, then this could very well be the one!
Great minis for a “A Very British Civil War” game.
Windy chaps?
Of course! That’s why Toady goes POOP POOP! lol
I like these. Slightly quirky and a bit different is always good imho
Who’s “Bosch”???
Why the Germans dear boy… pip-pip!
I always thought we were the ‘Krauts’… *Always learning*

Term for Jerry coined back in the First World War:
Boche (derogatory)Pronounced [boʃ], boche is a term used in World War I, often collectively (“the Boche” meaning “the Germans”). A shortened form of the French slang portmanteau alboche, itself derived from Allemand (“German”) and caboche (“head” or “cabbage”). Also spelled “Bosch” or “Bosche”.[10][11]
From Wiki
See, this is the trouble when kids don’t read the likes of Victor and Commando books anymore.
Loss of lingo, dontchya know, what what!
Not pronounced BOJ though. Should be bosh.
Just when you thought it was safe to trust wiki
I must say that the paint job doesn’t do justice to this officer… I’ve seen the miniature up close, and it’s a lot more detailed than what it seems from the picture !

The image is a bit low resolution. However, I do have some of these miniatures, I’ll try to get one under a camera to show you…
