It’s been a while since our last update post but not because we have been quiet – quite the opposite!
With substantial additions to the Japanese, Italian and British vehicle sections along with an entire new range of US Airborne models, a whopping 120 new miniatures and variations have been added to the website since our last news update!
Lets take a closer look at what’s been added
New US Airborne Infantry
First up we have the US Airborne, with them dropping in a whole new collection, including
– HQ teams including three different officer teams, a Forward Observer and a Medic
– Infantry squads with rifles, SMGs, rifle grenades and BARs
– Support teams equipped sniper rifles, Bazookas, flamethrowers, mortars and MMGs
– Anti-armour support with the M1 57mm anti-tank gun
New British Vehicles
The Brits lead the way for vehicles with the Churchill MkVII (75mm, 95mm and Crocodile), various marks of Valentine and the Covenanter providing armoured infantry support, the 17pdr armed Achilles supplying anti-armour capability and the Staghound AA giving cover from enemy airpower.
New Italian Vehicles
Next up with have the Italians. We’ve added or updated over 40 new Italian vehicles! And they’re all available from 15mm to 54mm! That’s right – around a dozen about been updated with new models, and about 30 are entirely new additions to the range.
The collection now includes:
– Light tanks and tankettes (such as the Fiat 3000 & L6/40 models, and 11 L3/33, L3/35 and L3/38 variants including flamethrowers!)
– armoured and unarmoured transports such as the Renault ADR, Dunvunque 35 and multiple S37 models.
– mobile AT (AS43 47mm and L3 CC variants)
– mobile AA guns (3 Ro 90/53 and AS43 20mm)
– armoured cars including the Lince, AB611 and a railway version of the AB41.
New Japanese Vehicles
Lastly, we also added a lot to our Japanese range with 27 new and 3 updated vehicles, all available from 15mm to 54mm!
The collection now includes:
– Light tanks and tankettes such as the Ha-Go, Type 92 Cavalry tank, Te-Ke, Ke-Ni and Otsu-Gata.
– Artillery tractors and armoured carriers such as the Ni-Ku, So-Da, Ro-Ke and Te-Re
– Amphibious tanks and landing craft including the Ka-Tsu (with torpedoes!), Ka-Chi, Ka-Mi and Su-Ki truck
– Mobile guns and SPG such as the Ho-Ni II and 120mm Chi-Ha (including the one-off Long Gun prototype!)
– Armoured cars including the So-Ki (road and rail versions!) and Type 93 Kokusan.
Phew! As you can see – a lot of new models and options have been added to MarDav’s store since the last update, and we are continuing to increase the range through 2025 and beyond!
Will be adding any US artillery crews like you have for some of the other countries? I have many artillery pieces that don’t have crews. Ace, Hasegawa, Dragon.
We have some US Marine crew that will be releasing alongside Airborne and standard crew as soon as we can.
Any plans to put out a 25mm Hotchkiss AA gun for the French? With the Bolt Action meta trending toward autocannons to kill Veteran infantry and put pins on vehicles, the 25mm Hotchkiss AA (one or two barrel) is the only autocannon that French players have access to (at least that I am aware of). And outside of a few small printers on Etsy making cheap-looking uncrewed models, I am not aware of any major miniature sellers making them.
It’s something that we’ve definitely noticed is missing and we’re hoping to have something later in the year.
