Was checking their site after a long break and noticed several new German kits - there might be for other factions as well, but I did not look at them:

1. They finally made German SdKfz 251/1D and it is a really nice one with commander 251/10 upgrade option (similarly to their 251/1C kit).


2. I guess V2 rocket is now a fashion trend? At least FiB also includes a command vehicle.


3. Stuka zu Fuss - three Stukas for a decent price. Sorry PSC, but the pioneer kit which You promised more than 6-7 months ago is still somewhere in the oblivion and although I totally love Your models (except for Panthers) but my wallet votes for FiB...


4. Mounted Nebelwerfers. Sadly these are not Panzerwerfers 42 Maultier 7.1 tons, but are 5 tons Schwerer Wehrmachtschlepper and I have absolutely no idea in which list these are available - non of my unlocked easyarmy lists shows them.

I love Forged in Battle, but they really need to sort their marketing out. I saw these a month ago on their Facebook page, but if you don't follow them they release this stuff without anyone ever knowing.

Honestly these guys make such brilliant stuff that's so cheap compared to Battlefront they really should be singing about it from the rooftops.

Agreed, their stuff's great even though their range is limited. I'm always on the look out for on-line discounters of their stuff, I even applied to be one myself (without success).

I just bought a pack of their Panzer Is for my SCW project.

Nice that they've got round to doing 251ds Hopefully they'll do some 250ds too.

I wish that they would get rid of the base tabs. I have some of their Panthers and while the models are decent quality the bases really make them standout from the rest of my tanks.

Allot of the FIB models (at least the main hulls) are one piece resin castings. That’s a big factor in keeping their costs (and thus prices) low. Having them based is probably a necessary part of that in order to keep them a roughly solid shape.

Personally I base all my vehicles so it makes no difference to me, but I can see why others find it off putting.

Thats one of the reasons why I am basing all my other vehicles as well, so the FiB stuff does not stand out that much.

Same here, I base everything with Plasticard.
