Thank you for your suggestions!

This list consists largely of requests submitted to us by YOU, our customers. We welcome suggestions throughout the year—and keep them all! Each request is given consideration as the upcoming production list is painstakingly compiled.

Every year we are able to offer you about 45 new miniatures, and in addition to some of the most popular requests, we also try to produce models for the many categories our customers enjoy. We sincerely hope you find a few things to look forward to on this list!

From the above, only the Israeli D9 Armoured Bulldozer was on my list.

I'm steadfastly avoiding Ukraine, as much as I'd love to game the conflict. So the bulk of the Ultra-Modern kit won't find a place on my table. Saying that, the M1A2 SEP v3 will go towards modernising my ADF Armoured Regiment, and both the M60TM and Bayraktar TB2 will likely find a place in my generic Arab OPFOR.

How'd your wishlisting work out for you?

[panzergator]

Only the M10 and D9 for sure.

I'm adding to my British infantry in the form of a Boxers-mounted battalion, as that is where the Brits are going, and some US Stryker units (I know... HORRORS! WHEELED APCs!, but I'm bowing to pressure, and likely only one or two battalions for contingencies) I WISH the Marine ACV had been included and do not understand why it wasn't, because I really do want a battalion of those. After the Stryker battalion is finished and British Boxer completed, it may be time to add some new M1 models. I might equip a US unit with Eitan. I already have a battalion of V150s and another of LAV-25s built in the '90s, when the motorized infantry battalions were first looked at. I keep them around for establishing bridgeheads.

I'm NOT TOUCHING Ukraine. Too current, too fluid and a bit its own animal. I disagree with providing M1 and M2 to Ukraine for a number of reasons. In any case, out of my direction of collection. More artillery down the pike, especially if GHQ does the Boxer 155mm.

FINALLY!!! a Modern Canadian Warship!!!

[Mortis57]

Although they're really too early for my WWII Germans, I might be tempted into a pack ot two of the Kfz.1 and Kfz.4.

Given the amount of 3D printed Land Mattresses and Nebelwefers I bought recently the T27 Xylophone systems also have my name on. The one thing that may put me off the ground mounted version is if it comes in the now standard pack (for artillery pieces) of 2 towed, 2 deployed, and 2 tractors as I usually only need half as many towed versions as deployed versions for artillery.

I might (for completeness) also get some T-38s as noone else seems to do them - yes I could use the T-37 but the turret's on the wrong side.

FINALLY!!! a Modern Canadian Warship!!!

And it is pretty much a one class navy, so we can model the entire navy!

[redleg]

There are several things on this list that I will be acquiring. I'm sure the D9 will be a real crowd pleaser!

It seems that GHQ has indeed been paying attention to some of the things we have been asking for. I'm curious how the naval items on this list compare to the Micronaut Wish List.

i think its mostly based on what ship that got the most votes.

thats true now we just need is their Oilers the Protectouer class (the old one not the new one).

Hello guys
Looking at the new releases 2024-25, I'm interesting about the following packs :
BATCH 1
G— Kfz. 1 : why not, it's always interesting to diversify the non armored german vehicules series. Nice for early war period and Afrika-korps.
T— M41D Walker Bulldog : nice for ARVN forces Vietnam aera. (I will buy few to make a company)

BATCH 2
US— T27 Xylophone ground-based w/ crew : Why not. But I prefer the truck mounted version.
G— Kfz. 4 Truppenluftschutzkraftwagen, AA : Nice to have this model.

BATCH 3
US— T27 Xylophone truck-mounted : Nice model, a battery = 12 launchers (x3 platoons, with x4 GMC rocket truck w/T27 each).
R— JS-1 : nice. Interesting for eastern front during spring and summer 1944, until it was replaced by the JS-2.
G— Tiger I, mid variant : Very interesting to have this variant.

BATCH 6
G— V1 Flying Bomb : why not. we can put them on a diorama or under a He-111's wing. More interesting for aerial battles wargaming, not very suitable for my ground wargame.

In any case, It's, of course, always a pleasure to see that GHQ is still as dynamic in offering us original models (on ground, sea, air) that try to satisfy as many of the brand's loyal customers as possible. Some upcoming models for 2024-25 will interest me and will enrich my armies. Thank you GHQ !

Maybe another little surprise will come in addition of this list during the year : an UK WWII armored dozer ? or a Me.323 "Gigant" ? or a US M54 tractor-trailer truck with semi-trailer (for Vietnam aera) ?

[whoa Mohamed]

The M41D did not see service in Vietnam.
The ROC army did use it.

[panzergator]

The earlier GHQ M41 would be the VN model. No bazooka plates on sides.

[panzergator]

The earlier GHQ M41 is the correct model to use for Vietnam War, not the M41D.

[pibber]

Thank you guys for this precision about the M41D, I had completely forgotten that there is already the model that is perfectly suitable for Vietnam (GHQ VN15)
