Victrix Preview What’s Next For Their 12mm World War II Range
June 18, 2020 by brennon
Victrix Games has been showing off some of the miniatures which are coming up next for their expanding 12mm World War II range. We've seen Tanks take to the fore already but they are going to be growing their collection of Historical wargaming miniatures over the next few weeks to include troops, transports and more.
M3 Half-Track // Victrix Games
We start with a couple of the different transport options in the mix. You'll be able to pick up the M3 Half-track for example which comes with a full complement of soldiers plus the gunner and the rest of the crew. The set will come with options for the crew to feature both US and British troops so you can use it across your Allied forces.
As well as the Allies getting themselves a new transport, you'll also be able to pick up a German option too. Here we have the wonderfully named Sdkfz251-D.

I'm sure that the Germans just called this a transport or something rather than reeling off that designation each time they got into it. Maybe someone can enlighten me in the comments as to what the regular joes would have called this when it was rolling about on the battlefield. Again, this comes with a full crew and bevvy of soldiers to berth onto the battlefield.
World War II British Infantry
As well as the transports, we're starting to see more of the infantry element that Victrix Games have planned for the range. Here we have a selection of the British with Vickers Guns and all manner of other weapons too.
12mm British Soldiers // Victix Games
A lot of these soldiers are posed in different ways which put them right into the midst of the action. You've got soldiers calling others forward, a few getting ready to throw grenades whilst others are setting up for an ambush. I like seeing action poses on my miniatures as it helps to tell a little story on the tabletop.
Here is what is coming next as part of the upcoming wave of releases...
Sherman M4 Firefly - Tiger I - Churchill 6pdr - M10 Wolverine - M5 Stuart - Puma Armoured Car
So, if you're looking for a few more armoured options then you're certainly going to get your fill over the next little while.

Will be interesting to see how well the renders are translated into the physical product.
Looks good I bet more puma’s have been made by gamer’s that we’re going around in the war?
These are beautiful, just like the rest of their new 12mm stuff. Yet I still don’t see an incentive to move off 15mm or play this game with 12mm when I have 15mm? But I have to admit if I did not have 15mm WW2 armies, I would seriously consider jumping in.
Hmm… my 1/100 scale vitrix aircraft just arrived for inclusion in my FOW army. Now they make 12mm infanty and vehicles to suit FOW aircraft?
They look really nice and all but what is the game? I went to the site and didnt see a game just product. As usual I am probably missing something somewhere. 🙂 If the game is good then that will lead to the sales. Is there room in the market for another game / range set to compete with the 15mm games already thought of as the industry standard? So my basic thought on this is if the game is really good and really engages the market then 12mm could become one of those standards but it will be the… Read more »
