$40 for Panzerschrek

Depending on your plastic modelling skills, you can make a Panzerschreck team using two plastic German figures and a US bazooka from one of the plastic American Infantry sets. If you use the earlier German plastic set (with individual weapons), use the bazooka and arm from the earlier American plastic set (with individual weapons). If you use the bazooka from the newer plastic American infantry set, then use one of the bigger plastic German figures (newer sets) because the arm from the newer plastic American set is bigger and beefier.

Anyway, it’s not that difficult to convert a plastic US bazooka into a German panzerschreck, but some plastic modelling and scratch building (maybe using Evergreen plastic) is needed.

Not sure what it is you are looking for – assume you have already seen these

There are SS and Fallschirmjager ones too.

Cheers,

@Master Chief – as for their pricing models – wouldn’t count on writing in getting you anywhere.  I regularly get sent emails from Warlord asking me to complete a survey – just did another just a few days ago.  Each time I explain that I don’t like their pricing models and why that is the primary reason why I buy so little directly from them.

I’ve even created a post in this forum.

Nothing ever happens, other than the prices go up.

Every few months it seems that they are rolling out another set of rules, becoming the favour of the hour (Armada, Victory at Sea, Mythic Americas) – rather than developing and improving what they already have.

They are looking more and more like Games Workshop every day.

Cheers,

Nigel

The change in currancy acceptance and the related exchange rate may not be warlord, but rather the bank that provides the payment portal..

I think it is not. I used to see the prices displayed in £, and when I pay with my credit card or Paypal, my credit card bank or Paypal does the exchange rate conversion, and charges a fee.

Now I see prices displayed in my local currency, and the exchange rate used is atrocious (50% more than the prevailing exchange rate)!! Warlord explained to me the reason for this is to “help” non-UK customers save on their banks’ exchange rate fees, because we are now billed in local currency and not £. Guess what, my bank still charges me a fee 🤦🏻‍♂️ If the situation doesn’t change, I will have to stop buying Warlord stuff soon.

Haha I think I know which manufacturer you are referring to 😂 I am eagerly waiting for their twin bazooka armoured Willys jeep kit (need to get it with their new soon to be re-released Willys jeep), although I have already “kit-bashed” 2 using the Warlord Armoured jeep and 4 spare bazookas from my US weapons sprues.

I will order the new kits together with their recently released German Drilling upgrade kit (need to get this together with their 251/1 Ausf. D kit).

Well, if you will be able to convert that Warhammer shield into a convincing German one you would be 100% able to scratch a Panzerschreck without any ready made parts.

But that’s just my own scratchbuilding loving me.

Funny how a thread can change. Now we are at the prices.  And yes, some Warlord prices make me :-o.   But compared to the ones of many other makers they are not unusual.

I ever thought it strange that wargamers have to pay more for similar items than for example modelling peoples. The W. work with Italeri gave me high hopes but fast that showed to be ……… .   Strangely for a short time German shops got the kits directly from Italy at “nomal” plastic kit prices. I guess someone in UK noticed and now they must take the game prices.

That “other” Wargaming kit company too is charging high prices for BA style plastic kit  gaming stuff that would be cheaper as a scale model kit.   Is the different scale really costing so much?   Better prices would increase the sales………..

The other thing, the minimum p/p is OK. You do not just pay for the p/p but also the handling. The work with a single decal sheet takes nearly the same time a 10 item order takes.

Many of us have special wishes and xpect a big mail order company to work on same principles the local shop can offer. A long chat and a cup of tea.  But imagin 50 customers standing in line behind you…….

Worst are the high expectations in rule questions. Most of the authors are no paid employees. If you ask Warlord or in Forum what one was meaning with a wording , that’s optimistic. It might never reach him.  Some expect that in buying a book they also bought the lifetime of the author. But most have a real life beside writing. Jobs, a family. Even other hobbies.
