Fallschirmjaeger 2nd Platoon

Like I said earlier, after being inspired by I Ain't Been Shot, Mum! I indulged myself by finishing a second platoon of Fallschirmjaeger from my Christmas miracle army.




Three 10 figure rifle sections, each with 2 MG42 teams. Plus 2 extra figures to bring the first platoon up to full strength. I also did three more Big Men on round washers. '21' and '22' are for 2 Platoon and the third one is labeled '02' in case I need a Company 2 i/c.

They're all old Battlefront. I quite enjoyed painting them up. Since my troops have a large number of the Stg44 assault rifle I painted them in a late war NW Europe camo scheme, whereas with Brian's FJ I mixed in a lot of tan Mediterranean camo pattern.

  2. They look very sexy. When I get posted back to Ontario we should put all our 15mm German kit on the table and take on all comers. Your paras and my Hitlerjugend would kick butt.

    I like the Mahdist fuzzy wuzzy types prancing in the background. I was at Sentry Box West in Calgary last week and almost bought a box of the Perry 25mm Mahdists in plastic. Almost.

  3. Cheers chaps.
    The Fuzzy Wuzzies are mostly 15mm Essex figures for a commission.
    Mike, I seem to recall you have a nice little 25mm British colonial army... it could do with some more opposition! :)
    And keep the happy thoughts. Looking forward to being able to game with you again.
