STALINGRAD Bolt Action Mega Battle!
Veteran Heer Squad.
I have started an Heer Veteran squad to be the core of my 3 squad Heer platoon. I originally planned to try a single test piece, but got carried away.
I have finished 4 German infantrymen (soon to be of a larger squad.) and wanted them to stand out clearly from their compatriots in the other 2 Regular Heer squads which were assembled using purely the components from Warlord’s Blitzkrieg German Infantry plastic box set. The intention to make them stand out as Veterans on the table top in a non over the top manner. The first thing I did was give them heads from the German Infantry (Winter) box set. This gives them a very much separate look from their ‘Regular’ mates.
The cherry on the cake which firmly anchors them as ‘Veteran’, was to add a plastic Iron Cross to each model. This looks great across the group as an whole without being over the top. Each Iron Cross suggest bravery on a personal level, and is a relatively discrete detail at 28mm, but one that will clear upon close inspection.
All I need to do is finish the LMG trooper and I will have a new squad to add to my German forces.
