Description
Grind the enemies of the Axis under your armoured boots!
Intended to spearhead assaults on the most heavily fortified strongpoints, and clad in armour the equal of many earlier tanks, the Stahltruppen are the cream of the Axis infantry. Rift-led advances in metallurgy and servo-motors have enabled the creation of enormously powerful armoured suits, capable of hefting heavy weaponry with ease. Stahltruppen think nothing of walking headlong into storms of machine-gun fire, shredding enemy infantry in a hail of automatic fire, and opening breaches for follow-up troops. Only veterans of the highest standing become Stahltruppen, and they rightly consider themselves the elite among Axis forces.
This plastic boxed set gives you 9 multi-part Axis Stahltruppen heavy infantry, equipped with weapons such as the StG 44Z assault rifle, MG 42 light machine gun, and Panzerbüchse 41 anti-tank gun – a hand-held weapon to these behemoths! The kit is packed with extra components, including variant heads, wicked tri-edged daggers, and a choice of five leg poses per sprue for even greater customisability. With so much detail on the models, they’re a great opportunity to show off your painting and modelling skills, and their sheer bulk makes them a great centrepiece for any Axis force.
On the Konflikt ’47 tabletop, Stahltruppen are the heaviest Specialist Infantry yet available to Axis players. Capable of shrugging off small arms fire as they advance across the table, and festooned with automatic weaponry, they spell death for any enemy infantry foolish enough to get in their way. Their Vormarsch! Rift ability ensures that, when the decisive moment comes, they will keep advancing – no matter how heavy the incoming fire might be!
