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.
Nice work on the painting and basing James.
ReplyDeleteLooking very nice indeed!!!
ReplyDeleteThey 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
Cheers chaps.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
