Imperial German Stormtroopers arrive to press the Spring Offensive

The latest reinforcements for 1918: A First World War Miniatures Game are here to strike fear into the hearts of the Allied Forces: elite Stormtroopers for the German Imperial Army.

Hand-picked for their skill, aggression and fearlessness, the Stormtroopers were crack troops wielding the best gear the German army could provide in order to overwhelm the enemy under the press of a sudden shock assault. Often attacking from the flank or the rear, they used infiltration tactics to find and exploit the weakest points in enemy lines

Armed with a mixture of MP18 submachine guns for close-range devastation, K98a carbines, compound charges and brutal close-combat weapons, the Stosstruppe fought in their specialised Storm Sections - even earning the right to be driven to and from their raids.

There are two packs available, shipped both as physical miniatures and as digital STL packs for you to print at home. Stormtroopers Pack 1 consists of six sculpts wielding compound charges and close combat weapons - including one captured mid-leap, cosh aloft. Stormtroopers Pack 2 meanwhile contains five sculpts wielding submachine guns and carbines.

Either pack can be combined with German Rifle Sections to create a full Storm Section - and your miniatures can be further customised with the German Infantry Head Pack. 

There’s more to come from 1918 this month - including the fulfillment of our Kickstarter orders, and some incredible terrain pieces to fight over.
