I have just finished another platoon for Chain of Command. These are mostly Warlord plastic with a few existing Artizan miniatures metal figures. I have used a few bits and pieces from their blitzkrieg pack and also a couple of bare heads from the Brits.
I think I have read the lists wrong for a Panzergrenadier platoon in CoC as it mentions a Junior leader plus two panzerfausts for each section. I took that to be actual figures which makes each section 12 x men strong and I think it is only meant to be the weapons and 10 x men, so I have painted too many figures.
I am amazed how many panzerfausts and LMG's a German platoon had from the mid war onwards.
I also painted up a couple of figures and trimmed the bases so I could use them for extra crew for my halftracks, I can also use these for forward observers or as extra crew for my HMG's.
Warlord metal mortar team.
This chap has a few bits from the other plastic sets from Warlord.
And the usual action shots.
Warlord recently sent me their new supplement for Black Powder 'Zulu'. If you have any interest in the Zulu war this book is superb for gaming the period even if you don't use the BP rules.
I will finish for the year with wishing you all a Happy Christmas and see you in 2014.
Have a drink and be Merry.
Cheers,
Pat.
Beautiful figures, and fantastic pictures, especially for me the pics in the village and the fields...love the mortar too!
ReplyDeleteYou really are the master of these scenic shots Pat. Poor form on missing your credit!
ReplyDeleteHave a great holiday season
What fantastic looking figures and so well painted by you. I love the action shots
ReplyDeleteIan
Those are some gorgeous photos!
ReplyDeleteFirst class! Excellent job on the camo on that mortar team.
ReplyDeletePat - excellent as always - very dynamic and full of character - something to aspire too!
ReplyDeleteMerry Xmas Roy
Very good work but be careful with the long weapons of the Bolt action plásticos, too flimsy and I have had a few of them broken alrwady
ReplyDeleteThanks chaps and Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeletePat.
Huh, they didn't even credit you Pat! That's the one thing wargamers value the most is the credit for their work(even more so then money) so that's pretty poor treatment in my opinion and this by default they already know as they are wargamers themselves so really no excuse IMHO.

Awesome work as usual Pat. I love your terrain work!!! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Exceptional work Pat! Beautiful figures and stunning terrain. Oh, and the book looks great too. Very well done Sir!
ReplyDeleteAmazing work! I'm really not too fond of the Warlord plastics but you did an great job in both painting and converting these guys. So to say you brought 'em to life with some very dynamic and dramatic poses. The guy with the MG-34 over his shoulder is my favourite. As for the Zulu book I'd say bad demeanour not to credit your fantastic work.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your loved ones.
Brilliant stuff Pat, stunning troops and terrain as always!
ReplyDeleteSuperb Germans and terrain Pat ! The Zulu book is a cracker, I'm about half way through. Have a great Xmas!
ReplyDeleteThat was a treat! The figures, terrain and posing are superb!
ReplyDeleteWow and you say you like my blog...well you last post of beautiful terrain and figures is the best I have seen..bloody fantastic stuff. The Zulu supplement well I hope mine turns up today, fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff again and Merry Christmas
Regards
Vinnie
A stunning set of pictures Pat ! Lovely pictures of your germans !
ReplyDeleteCongratulation to all the pictures in the Zulu book, would have been a shame if your marvellous zulu collection haden´t been in it.
I hope you and your family will have a merry christmas and a happy new year.
Best regards Michael
Chaps, Warlord have been very apologetic and generously made amends. Also my name will be in future credits when they do reprints.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Pat.
I really like your action shots, they are superb!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant action shots Pat. You created the feeling of moving up to and through the village magnificently. A set of wargame photos without a game that still capture the imagination!
ReplyDeleteI knew I recognised you work, but then demised it because I couldn't find a credit. Great to her that they have put things right though. Have a great Christmas Pat.
ReplyDeleteFantastic painting work, sir. These models, thank yo you, are very nice.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas Pat and thanks for all the great stuff on here in 2013
ReplyDeleteLovely looking game. Try a couple of the pics in sepia..like the one of the Germans running across the field..it might look real.
ReplyDeleteGreat News on the book.....
Pure magic! Thanks for sharing such inspirational photos! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks chaps.
ReplyDeletePaul B, I will give the sepia pictures a try.
Happy New Year to you all.
Pat.
Great set of pictures! As others said, you are the master of those scenic shots. Your Zulu pictures being prime examples.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a happy 2014 and look forward to follow your blog yet another year.
