Fallschirmjäger (Winter) Company

Fallschirmjäger (Winter) Platoon

The elite paratroopers of the German Luftwaffe, the Fallschirmjäger would find themselves fighting exclusively as ground troops as the Second World War progressed, where their intense training and esprit de corps stood them in good stead and earned them a fearsome reputation as determined and deadly combatants. 

As a part of the German air force rather than the army, their equipment was unique and highly specialised - from their uniforms to the iconic FG 42 assault rifles - making them an instantly recognisable force on the battlefield.

This box gives you everything you'll need to build thirty plastic German Fallschirmjäger in their distinctive quilted winter uniforms, perfect for the unforgiving snowy woodland terrain of the Battle of the Bulge. 

Each sprue contains: 

• Six dynamically posed bodies in the iconic winter uniforms of Germany’s elite    paratroopers.

• Twelve unique head options, including covered and uncovered helmets, peaked caps, and furry winter hats!

• A wide range of weaponry, including the unique FG 42 paratrooper assault rifle (including one with marksman’s scope), legendary MG 42 machine gun, Kar 98K rifle, MP 40 submachine gun, Panzerfaust anti-tank launchers, and more.

• Tons of extra details - arms carrying ammunition and equipment, webbing and belt kit, pistols, flare guns, grenades and entrenching tools used as close-combat weapons!

With their distinctive camouflaged jump smocks and quilted winter oversuits, Fallschirmjäger armies look unique and absolutely fantastic on the table, and offer a brilliant opportunity to show off your painting skills. Whether in defence of the Fatherland or on the attack in the Ardennes, you’ll have a force of die-hard paratroopers that looks great and can do some serious damage on the tabletop!
