German Mechanised Warfare Pushes Onwards For Bolt Action
July 5, 2015 by brennon
Warlord Games have decided that they need to do what the Germans did and push out a whole bunch of these ace Sd.Kfz 251/1 ausf D Hanomags for the Bolt Action war effort. This was a real workhorse of the Axis during World War II and it's available in plastic and by itself now...
Armoured Assault
Your grenadiers will be powering forward in these Hanomags, a name gifted to them by their manufacturers. They are mobile, are reasonable defensive and come with a machine gun mounted on the back to give you some added supporting fire when you reach your target.
The boxed set also gives you an array of transfers which you can see applied on the sides of the vehicle above. I would love to see these painted up for various theatres of war as they were in service all over the place from Europe all the way to Africa.
Will you be getting some for your German force?

Great looking kit . This one comes with the 4 seated plastic ( ? ) figures shown in the pictures . Hopefully Warlord will release these as a blister pack of 8 or 12 , I need seated troops for my 3 halftracks . And I think they might work out as tank riders on a Stug or Pz IV
The Panzergrenadiers box with 3 Sdkfz 251/1D and 30 of the late war grenadiers is pretty good value.
Yeha I like the Sdkf 251 and the new Grenadiers are great! I kind wished the had a deal with truks and panzer grenadiers but that is my one for my cristmas three.
Nice models, will be picking up a few myself. The D model was a late war model though, and the only model appropriate for a kit bash I have planned. Will use one to build a SPW 251/22 with the bow mounted pak40. This vehicle was planned to replace the towed pak40 in the ’45 panzer divisions. However the number manufactured never allowed for that to happen, but some were issued to elite units like SS and Grossdeuschland Panzer Korps.
interesting, are you by any chance making a Grossdeuschland themed army?
That is really nice.
I’ve ordered one and am looking forward to compare it to the Rubicon Hanomag.
The seated grenadiers are nice but they will look like Hobbits compared to the proper grenadiers on foot so I probably won’t use them.
The Panzergrenadier box seems excellent value and I will seriously consider a purchase.
