First steps into Flames of War V4
Infantry platoon complete
I have now painted and based my infantry platoon. I have had a bit of a break from painting the army mainly due to the release of warcry as well as a few other projects i have on the go (imperial guard army, 20mm vietnam army, blackstone fortress and a halfling blood bowl team i have to finish)
The figures are from the plastic soldier company and are British paratroopers.
The rifle teams are going to be pretty useful to dig in and hold objectives im thinking it may be an idea to use armoured vehicles to transport them forward and then dig in on objectives.
I think in game they are going to need armoured support as i don’t hold out much hope for the piat against my regular opponents tiger platoon.
The denison smocks were fiddly to paint in the 15mm scale but i am pleased with how they turned out.
The trousers were painted vallejo english uniform, the smocks were based with gw’s karak stone with vallejo chocolate brown and reflective green patches. This was followed by a diluted agar earth shade wash.
The red berets look very bright in the pictures but are much more subdued without the camera flash.
I can’t wait to get the army on the table, i only have to paint the 25 pdr s and then work out what to spend my last 9 points on im thinking something with the scout and spear head rules would be useful as would some air support.
Boots on the ground, good work!
Great job buddy and a really nice gritty feel to this force.
