Infamous JT Bringing Warsaw Uprising To Life In February
January 17, 2018 by brennon
A small collection of miniatures are going to be hitting Kickstarter in February from Infamous JT based on the events of the Warsaw Uprising from World War II. Take a peek...
Here you can see the whole host of characters that will be making their way to the funding platform next month. As well as the armoured car you will also get a cast of different characters inspired by the events of the uprising.
One of the neat things about exploring periods of history is picking out the characters that seem larger than life. That's what Infamous JT has done with this particular project alongside the work of some fantastic sculptors, especially when you see the Kickstarter Exclusive Eugeniusz Lokajski here.
If you'd like to find out more about this fellow then you can check out what they bought together on him below...
"Conscripted into the Polish Army for the Polish Defensive War of 1939, Lokajski served as a platoon commander in the Polish 35th Infantry Regiment. After the Battle of Brześć he was taken as a prisoner of war by the Soviets, but managed to escape to Warsaw, which most probably saved him from the fate of other Polish officers, murdered by the Soviets in the Katyn Massacre.
In Warsaw, he reunited with his family and opened a photographic shop. At the same time, he served as a teacher in one of the underground universities operating secretly in Warsaw.
After his brother was killed he took over his duties in the AK.
He would sadly lose his life in the uprising. His sister published a book of over 1000 images taken by him during the war. We used many of these images for inspiration and created this model as a homage to Eugeniusz and other photographers of the AK.
We have modelled him with the Leica Standard, as it is known he used one prior to the war and was given one by a fellow officer in the AK. We have modelled a cat as an optional extra based on an iconic image of this Polish hero."
Are you going to be taking a look at this campaign when it launches?

they got my interest.
Thank you – how do we keep it? 😀
the car looks great.
Thank you, we are proud of it! It also comes with a couple weapon options!
I’m in!
Good to hear! Welcome aboard!
Lovely figures!
They should be a joy to paint 😎
Hey Suetonius, I am a fan of your work from the WLG forums. We would love to see our figures painted by yourself!
It will be a pleasure 😉
Would love to see some Grey Ranks models..
boyscouts and girlguides who fought in the resistance
Or that iconic little solider who has a statue in Warsaw
Hey 🙂
The grey ranks are represented by individuals in smocks and such 🙂
The majority were 18-19 by the time of the uprising:
however a stretch goal includes a child figure for use as a spotter as homage to the child soldiers of Warsaw.
Nice
Although I was think more of Zawisza and the kids that carried orders and maintained communication lines.
I love this. I’ll be getting this when the time comes. My father was a POW that escaped and ended up fighting under General Anders (Polish General). While my father wasn’t in Warsaw when I see historical mini’s that involve the Poles I always think of him.
Hey Zeker 🙂
We actually put out a request on Facebook for information about individuals like your father.
We are trying to immortalize some of those histories in 28mm. If this is of interest you please feel free to contact us on facebook, and thank you for sharing your father’s story here!
This was a proud moment for us! Thank you so much BoW!
