Defiance Games Reboot the German Panzergrenadier
May 2, 2012 by brennon
Defiance Games have finally got their UAMC soldiers out, so the next step is to look forwards to the other factions. Their sculptors have been working hard on refining the German Panzergrenadier of late, and here he is...
As they say on their website, they are really trying to push what you can do with hard plastic. This certainly fits the mandate. A lot of armour detail, great natural stance and an awesome looking gun. I say once again, mix these into your Corporation troopers for a bit of a spin on them.
What do you think of the latest version of the Panzergrenadier?
This model has very nice detailing and even his gun is well detailed.
I love the level and depth of detail on this… so suitable for almost any futuristic Wargame or RPG.
This is the guys I’ve liked from the get go. The newer cleaned up version is bang on what I think should look like. Now if they come out with oh… great coats in the near future (wink wink) I might have to change my mind.
Certainly look’s very well sculpted, one of the better sci-fi human soldier figures I’ve seen.
Is that a resin master or a production plastic? Those details look very crisp for plastic.
It looks very cool, defiance seem to have some real professionals on their team.
They’ve improved this quite a bit – the ‘heavyweight champion belt’ at the crotch is gone though the armour has the same shape, the respirator has more detail and the trousers now look to have standard cloth rather than the ‘studded’ look of before. Very cool, but I wouldn’t use these with Corporation as these will have limb thickness more akin to Cadians when they’re done like the UAMC.
I like the rifle; it looks like what the H&K G36C wants to be when it grows up.
Thanks Guys!
The rifle is a G-54 actually – a descendent of the venerable G36. We’ve been hard at work both shipping the Marines and getting the Bugs and Germans ready. Now that we’ve put our first release out and worked out the kinks – the next ones will be coming fast and furious. We’re shooting for 2 hard plastic sets/month going forward covering all the various Forces of the Alien War universe. The rules will be out soon – compliments of BOW – too!
Thanks again,
Tony

Really liking this new update for the Germans. Still wish the neck area was thicker, as in the concept art, but at this point I’m only nitpicking. Loving the G-54 rifle and already wondering what the German heavy weapons will look like. Also, looking forward to seeing more of the Xenos!
