Heer46 Get Stoessi’s Heroes Ready For Your WWII Tabletop
August 15, 2016 by brennon
Heer46 have worked with Stoessi's Heroes to create five new characters that would be great for dropping into your World War II games on the tabletop. See what you think of them as we kick off with the German SS Officer, Hans.
While it's tempted to use him in a full on battlefield role imagine if you dropped him into a skirmish game instead. You could play out a game where the French Resistance if trying to take on the Germans and assassinate this particular officer on the streets of Paris.
Soviet & Saskatchewanian Snipers
Following on from the Germans officer we turn towards the Soviets who get the Red Army Sniper, Lyudmilla. She looks rather relaxed with her sniper rifle.
The perfect lady for an Enemy At The Gates style scenario where you're using a few snipers to take on German patrols? If you prefer someone from the Commonwealth to be your sniper meet the Canadian Highlander Sergeant, Harold.
Another good sniper who is in more of a battlefield pose compared to Lyudmilla. He looks like he has just taken a shot and is reloading ready for the next hit. A rather awesome miniature and worth painting up with a nice foliage covered base I reckon.
British & American Grit
Finishing off the releases for their character range we have the British Airborne General, Roy...
...and the US Officer, Donny.
Here you have two great battlefield generals that would look awesome leading the troops into battle. Roy with his pistol out looks like an utter bad ass whilst Donny is directing the troops around.
What do you think of these characters?

Loving Hans and Roy.
great looking figures.
Roy and Harold would be awesome for my British skirmish squad, but why does Donny look like the “bumbling officer” you see in every WWII movie. He looks a lot like Archie Bunker from Kelly’s Heroes.
Roy looks like one bad mother! Hans facial features look more Imperial Japanese than SS officer, at least to me. Actually, it would be cool if someone made a pompous looking Imperial Japanese officer.
They’re fantastic – really characterful. Hans is so menacing he’s actually scary. Roy looks a total badass. As does Lyudmila.
Donny looks a bit like donald Trump to me though. Not so much commanding the troops but ranting insanely and with no clue what’s going on around him…
Great to see good feedback here! If you like those minis, take a look at the blog from Stoessi’s Heroes: http://stoessi.blogspot.com/
