WW2 IN COLOUR

Following on from my last post WW2 in sepia, pictures of the Warlord Panzer IV and Hanomag's that I painted recently. I still need to paint the tank commander which is on the work bench at the moment along with some more terrain that I have been working on. 

"Mount up, we have reports of enemy sightings in the nearby village".

"Raus, scnell, search the buildings".

 

 

One lot in and one lot out.

 

No trace, mount up for the wild goose chase.

John Warren came around last week and we had a game of Chain of Command using the above vehicles against American paratroopers and tonight I am taking the same vehicles around to Dave Green's for a game of Bolt Action. Great to get them on the table so quickly.     

WW2 IN SEPIA

 

In my last post Paul from http://paulsbods.blogspot.co.uk/  suggested I take a few pictures in sepia as it might make some of the pictures look more real. Thanks for the tip Paul.

 

Some of the pictures you have already seen in colour in my last post but the ones of the vehicles are new. In the next day or so I will post the colour versions of these vehicles with a lot more pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The vehicles are from Warlord, colour pictures coming to this blog next year. (well in a couple of hours actually)

Happy New Year and thanks to all of you that visit.

WARLORD WW2 plastic German, also Zulu book

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.

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.

You might recognise quite a few images in the book from this blog. 

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.
