Something medical
Medic and Stretcher bearers by Perry Miniatures..
Yes Karl, despite the Red Crosses and desire to assist… you’re STILL the baddies ?
Panzer II
Warlord Games resin kit. Went together well and a nice solid feel to it. Love the look of early war tanks!
Assault Boats (scratch build)
Basically a long sausage of 2part modelling putty shaped to match, floorboards are coffee stirrers cut to fit..
Something Seasonal..
Warlord plastic winter Germans as a bit of a test. Snow effect homemade (pva glue, white paint and baking powder in equal measure!)
'Counts as' Medic??
What on Earth is in that vial?? Could it be Formula Vee, the Villain’s latest VunderVeapon??
Le Town Convenience!
Any 'Liddle Tanks' get +10 to damage !Halt!... Papers bitte!'
A first go with some foamcard and some other bitz laying about. Pretty thematic scatter piece..
German Major and Henchmen
Major Schitz is villainous looking sort with a sinister agent (fresh from Berlin) and a thuggish bodyguard..
Warlord and Artizan minis
Blitzkrieg German box complete
That’s 486 points of Germans in 6 units (or Order Dice if you prefer). Now for a little palette cleanser I think!
Second Infantry Squad
Another simple 100 point Squad, NCO plus 7 men, all Rifle armed with 1 LMG and Loader option
Machine Gun dioramas..
Ambitious builds have yielded great results!
Congrats on these Cainan, really been good seeing you start and develop over the past 2 weeks!
First US Airborne squads complete..
..and I think we would all agree that’s a good start and some nice basing too. Loving the experimental cork wall ruins !
And now the Opposition! Airborne!
- First steps in mini painting..with some hints tips and encouragement from me
Some simple card buildings
Just simple box shapes acquired online (Napoleonic but do nicely for generically European I think). May come up with simple flag markers to indicate ‘occupied’ .. a bit like the old Close Combat PC game!
Veteran Grenadier Squad
Available in later war Normandy list but can be used as basis for earlier war Infantry squads ..
