Just asking cause I obviously need SMGs for the command team and would like to model it with a Panzerfaust. Also I'd like to know if LMGs are included so I can properly model Rifle/MG Teams.

They come with some SMGs, but the barrels are so thin and small they break if you breathe on them.

There are also LMGs.

No panzerfausts or shreks though.

Panzerfausts, panzerschrecks and other stuff is in the PSC German Heavy weapon kit.

Alright thanks guys. This is also probably a stupid question, but do they come with appropriately sized bases for FOW?

Nope, no bases included.

I see... out of curiosity, do the Forged in Battle Germans come with Panzerfausts, SMGs, and LMGs?

SMG and LMG only. But Wargames Factory germans have LMGs, SMGs, fausts, schrecks and even sniper rifles. Plus, they come with FoW bases.

A lot of sniper rifles

As others have said they don’t come with any bases and understandably so. Obviously Battlefront are going to give you the right bases for their game, but FoW isn’t the only WW2 rule set around, so other miniature manufactures are probably going to want to seen to be neutral in this regard. Even if the majority of their miniatures do end up being used with FoW.

You can get FOW sized bases from other companies if you’re looking to save money, plenty of suppliers of them in MDF that are far cheaper than the ‘official’ bases and IMHO much nicer to work with.

Yep, even PSC sells FoW sized bases on their site.
