3D IPStudios’ World War II Project Perfect For Weird World War?
October 11, 2022 by brennon
3D IPStudios is back on Kickstarter with another project, this time focused on Historical wargaming. You can dive in and check out a new set of 28mm World War II personalities and regular soldiers for use in your clashes be they Historical or a little bit Pulpy and Weird.

All of the characters, soldiers and vehicles here are 3D Printable STL files that have been designed for resin printers but they would also be suitable for FDM as well. After doing a lot of animal and dinosaur-themed Kickstarters in the past, this is quite the change but I think these miniatures look great.

The Core Set covers three of the factions fighting in World War II, namely the US, Germans and the Soviets. Each of the sets comes with a famous historical figure (Hitler, Roosevelt and Stalin) alongside a bunch of regular soldiers and a tank.

The scale and proportions here immediately made me think about what kind of games I'd use them in. I genuinely think these would be perfect for something a bit Weird World War. The "heroic" look to the miniatures would match with something a bit more over the top and it could be a good way to include those named characters in your games. Just throw some strange weaponry and perhaps a good helping of zombies and away you go!

All of the miniatures in this collection are scalable which is neat meaning that whilst they come in around 32mm "out of the box", you could tinker with them if you so desired. Additionally, as the campaign continues to rumble on, more options for your soldiers, additional vehicles, terrain and more are getting unlocked as part of Stretch Goals.
If you've got a Weird World War project waiting in the wings and you need some troops that would fit, I think this could be a solid Kickstarter campaign to check out.
Which of the three factions do you like the best?

Roosevelt almost looks like Dr. Merkwuerdiglieben.
Brilliant looking figures for gaming with.
Hopefully they will re-sculpt the trigger grips on the weapons. Kinda disrupting. Great for Weird World War, though, I guess.
Interesting choice of Kickstarter given that WWII stl files seem to be done to death.
Cant say im a huge fan, a few of the characters are interesting and a bit different but the rest I don’t feel are sculpted any better than anything existing and there’s not a lot in there to make a full got at other than a very small skirmish force. The vehicles are pretty poor and chunky too.
Pass from me though it might be of interest to a few.
