Well, I've recently been back in the painting groove and here are my newest:
These are sold as pin markers, but as a group we use tiny dice for this, so I came up with the idea of splitting a pack and using them to signify when a units NCO has been taken out!
Kettenkrad! This will provide transport for a small team or a tow for some artillery when we get round to playing some tank wars. Or cheap bomb fodder for when I'm playing Matt and his partizans....!
And finally a unit of SS! I bought 10 originally but then ordered more so I can either have 2 smaller squads or vary the equipment they carry. The camouflage isn't 100% accurate but I'm happy with it and they'll stand out from my regular troops. Having veterans will give me a nice offensive unit or something that can hold an objective. Plus, give them the fanatic rule and they'll be a bugger to kill!
That's it for now, warlord had a 50% off plastic sprues for black friday so I spent some pennies! First on the list was some more German infantry. Second was the start of some Brits! Looking forward to getting started on them when they arrive.
I didn't realise you'd already bought the wartrak...erm, I mean Kettenkrad.
ReplyDeleteI think your SS might need some lighter brown patches and then black dots on their camo if you want it to be more historically accurate. Mind you, I'm always impressed by any form of camo.
The camo does have light brown, not well lit! It doesn't look brilliant but it'll do!
DeleteThe Kettenkrad is a cool thing! I don't care what it does in game, I've liked those things since I saw the one in Saving Private Ryan. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteIt'll be a laugh! Took longer to put together than it did to paint! I look forward to it triggering your bombs and spreading itself over a wide area....
