Chibi WW2 German - 20mm Bolt Action (500 points)

Overview

These 20mm (1/72 scale) German army units are specifically designed for small-scale wargaming. Standing at exactly 2cm tall, they are the perfect size for playing Bolt Action on a smaller footprint. This allows you to swap inches for centimeters and play a full-scale battle on a desk or dinner table.

The Model Set

This pack includes a variety of poses for a standard German Infantry Platoon, including:

• Riflemen in various advancing and firing poses.
• NCO/Officers for your command teams.
• LMG Teams (MG42) for squad support.
• Mortar Team for indirect fire.
• Panzer 4

Scale & Use Case

• Scale: 1/72 (20mm). Each figure is approx. 20mm/2cm tall.
• Game System: Perfect for Bolt Action, Chain of Command, or Battlegroup.
• The "Coffee Table" Hack: Use these minis to play Bolt Action by simply measuring in Centimeters instead of Inches. This turns a standard 6'x4' battlefield into a manageable coffee-table-sized engagement without losing any tactical depth.

Technical & Print Settings

These models have been meticulously cleaned and tested to ensure they print reliably on FDM and Resin printers.

• Nozzle: 0.2mm recommended for best detail (0.4mm works but loses fine features).
• Layer Height: 0.08mm - 0.12mm.
• Supports: Tree supports (Auto) with Tree Slim works best.
• Basing: Pre-based on low-profile 20mm circular bases for stability.

The Workflow (AI-Assisted Design)

I created these models using an bizzare and unexpected AI-to-3D pipeline:

1. Image Generation: Designed using Gemini Pro and ChatGpt Images.
2. 3D Mesh Generation: Rendered via Meshy-AI.
3. Refinement: Extensive manual cleanup in Blender to fix manifold errors, sharpen weapon details, and ensure the scale is perfectly uniform at 2cm.
4. Testing: Every pose in this pack has been physically printed and verified (see photos).
