Hi all,

I'd like to introduce you to my small 28mm WW2 miniature company called "Stoessi's Heroes"

The little venture started originally as a paint- and hobby-blog around mostly Bolt Action: STOESSI'S HEROES.
Since March of this year, it developed into something more as I started to work with different sculptors to get WW2 miniatures created that I thought would be cool additions to any Bolt Action army. The initial range is really small as you can see below, but I already have a few more miniatures in the pipeline which will be released in the next couple of months.

Enough words, let's share some pictures, shall we? Hope you like them!

Schütze Otto Hottenrott - Late War German, Western Front

PFC Miller, US Glider Infantry, Market Garden


More pictures here: STOESSI'S HEROES: PFC MILLER READY FOR ACTION - US GLIDER INFANTRY SOLDIER

And a little preview of one of the new miniatures in the pipeline:

Sergeant Harold Marshall, from the Calgary Highlander Rifles Scout and Sniper platoon


Hope you like them! Let me know what you think.

Cheers,
Stoessi

Welcome to the forum.

While I'm not a WW2 fan myself, I think these character figures can find a good market with people playing Bolt Action and similar games.

Good luck!

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

Thanks for your kind words!
To be honest, I am more of a painter than a gamer, so the main idea behind Stoessi's Heroes is to create models that I can enjoy painting.

Wow they look really nice. Knowing nothing about sculpting,do you now own the copyright to those figures ?

Yes, I do. Once the sculptor is done with his job, I receive the master model and start working with a caster to create copies of it.

Sorry for all the questions but how much would a single figure cost to sculpt ? I have a few missing figures I cannot find in 15mm and might be tempted

Well, he is certainly inspired by Roy Urquhart and Roy was played by Sean Connery in said movie.

So many new releases.... so many opportunities for pre-views and "meet the heroes" articles.

My pleasure to introduce: Kurt Knispel





Kurt was not only the most successful German tank ace, but he was also a pretty unique personality : http://stoessisheroes.com/meet-the-heroes-german-feldwebel-panzer-ace-kurt-knispel/

Wow a Kurt Knispel, I don't think anyone has ever made a model for him. I would snatch one of those up for a tiger in a heartbeat.

Is he scaled for a Warlord Tiger or something else like a Rubicon?

Thanks man!
Kurt fits into both, the Warlord Games Tiger or the Rubicon one.
