Hi everybody,

I have a current project fot some "counts as Death Korps Engineers" and would like to add some shovels/spades or weapons that are at least similar to the minis.
So far I'm aware of Wargames Foundries Zulu weapons:
https://www.wargamesfoundry.com/collections/weapon-and-shield-packs/products/wp053-zulu-weapons
But they send a random assortment, so I would Need to order multiple packs to get me 3 "shovels"

I also found these:
https://www.magistermilitum.com/scale/28mm/scl13-spade-x10.html
But they look a bit... clumsy?

Does anybody know of a good sorce for "folding shovels" and similar Equipment like it is seen on the back of the Forgeworld engineers here:
https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-DE/Death-Korps-of-Krieg-Engineers
?

I think this is exactly what you want: https://anvilindustry.co.uk/entrenching-tools-5
Or you could try: https://victoriaminiatures.com/collections/backpacks-pouches-and-gear/products/shovel-and-pickaxe

And possibly this: https://anvilindustry.co.uk/trench-melee-set

Honestly, just look around Anvil's Regiments Infantry. You'll find good stuff for any IG conversion.

Funny, I ordered from Anvil quite often, but completely forgot About those. Thanks a lot.

Anytime

The baneblade kit has a shovel, hammer and toolbox. You might be able to find the bits on eBay.

Those are part of the IG Tank Accessories Frame: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Imperial-Guard-Tank-Accessories And shovels are also in the IG Heavy Weapons Squad, but none are the folding trench shovels style they want. The ones from Anvil are the cheapest route to exactly what they want.

Also just found these from Victoria, just for the next user looking for entrenching tools:

edit - blind and missed what someone else posted.

Wow, those are under weapons instead of war gear for some reason so I completely missed them. Good catch.
