Weird War II Figures...
Posted by Gamera on Saturday, May 15, 2010 8:26 PM

Here's a handful of figures from a role-playing game I picked up some years ago. Weird War II was based on a series of weird comic books from some years ago. It fused a normal Second World War with all kinds of general Nazi occult weirdness from necromancers throwing zombies at Allied troops to werewolf commandos. Apparently I was the only one in the group that was really having fun so it didn't run very long.

The figures are 28mm scale which is about the same as 1/48th. So each figure is about 1 inch / 3 cm tall.

The cover. I mean it's a FRIGGIN' WAFFEN SS WEREWOLF HOW CAN IT NOT BE COOL!?!?!?!

Collection of Yanks... (player characters and allies)

Collection of Brits... (again players and allies)

The Bad Guys...

A selection of Germans... (they're pretty much in scale with Tamiya 1/48 armour)

More Germans with a Wehrmacht armour battle suit...

The evil German Doktor Fahrfanugen with his lovely assistant and Fahrfanugen's Monster.

Manny with one of his ex-wives, Generals Bradley, Patton, and two British officers I didn't get the name of. 'What do you mean you invited the boys over for supper!?!? I haven't cooked anything!!! You could at least have given me a warning!!!!'

Hey Rob, thanks!

The game itself is out of print but can be found for fairly cheap on ebay.

The figures themselves aren't specially for the game, just generic figures that fit. I picked most of them up at Brigade Games:

http://www.brigadegames.com/

Most of the 'real' figures are from Artizan Designs. The 'weird' are mostly under 'WW II Pulp Horror'. I think most of them are still available. In fact I haven't looked at the site for a long while and they seem to have added a great deal of stuff since then. When the game fell apart I stopped buying stuff for it of course.

Thank you! lol I *love* the site! Great figures and odds and ends! Haven't really had time to sit and go through the site from page to page yet but from what I have seen so far, this will be a fun site to get figures from.

My friends and I are long time fans of playing table top gaming..for a *long* time now lol. My philosophy has always been that age is only a state of mind. And as  long as your thoughts remain young, so will you. So we play one maybe 2 Saturdays a month. We start at around noon on Saturday and play until 1 or 2 am Sunday morning. It's great, we have a blast. So I *must* get some of these figures to paint and bring out for the next game we play. Devil It will a blast..he he he.

Thank you so much for showing me the site! Big Smile

Yeah I know what you mean! I got out of gaming when it seemed the players were more interesting in fighting each other than the monsters. But still it was fun while it lasted.

Glad you found the site of use!

I have some more figures around but I'm not sure where they are. I was rooting though some old stuff and found these, maybe they're somewhere close.
