As promised in a previous post, here is a small parade post of my fully painted WW2 Winter Germans force. I do have more to add to them, but I think I'll leave those pieces for when the mood takes. I think all of these sculpts are by Warlord Games from their Bolt Action range (Including the plastic half-track and resin Hetzer tank). Lots of fun details and dynamism to them which made them fun to paint.
To start off a full shot of the whole force. The organisation of this collection is per the basic German Reinforced Platoon Bolt Action army list on Easy Army dot com. (Shame about the background, but they are stored in a barn so "barn-background" is what you get.)
When I took this and checked the pic on my phone it looked fine! O well. Daylights gone now and all these guys are packed away now. |
Lieutenant and Adjutant.
Waffen-SS Squad and their Half-track ride.
Heer Grenadier Squad.
Volks Grenadier Squad.
Heer Medic.
Flame Thrower Team.
Panzerschreck Team.
Hetzer tank hunter.
And a bonus Forward Artillery Observer.
And that's it! As mentioned above, there are more pieces in my unpainted mountain to add to these:
Panzer iv H tank
Sniper Team
Heer Grenadiers in Winter Greatcoats
The remainder of the Waffen-SS squad
Hope you enjoyed seeing these as much as I found enjoyment knowing that this project could be called "done" AND that I can now host a fully painted Winter themed game of Bolt Action at home once time allows - something to post on in a later publication.
Now back to finishing that last section of Canadians before I can get in with this year’s new army.
Cheers - Dai
Fantastic looking force Dai, with the basing colour choices and detailing, it is a very atmospheric force indeed.
ReplyDeleteGood, that was what I was hoping for. Cheers Dave
DeleteOh my... That's looking amazing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful minis and bases.
Thanks Michal! Always appreciate your encouragement
DeleteThey look good and cold. Great to see you back at the painting table.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jon! Hoping to have more to show soon
DeleteAwesome! I really like the assorted uniform rag tag look. Too bad about your first picture getting shrunk.
ReplyDeleteGlad that came across Dave. Wanted to try to show that really late war “throw all the men in and the kitchen sink” feel
DeleteA nice looking force Dai, hope you get some action with them soon! You are the second blogger I have read today who has mentioned a "new" army for 2023.... I am starting to feel I am missing out!
ReplyDeleteCheers Keith!
DeleteA new year - new army effort is a good feeling. Gives one a hobby purpose when there are no clubs or events to work toward
Very well done with them ALL. I had to get a sweater after seeing the pics. Do you have a snow/ winter mat for your games?
ReplyDeleteThanks Stew!
DeleteI do indeed have a winter mat, a neoprene thing that is decent enough for wargaming and that my winter scenic pieces look good on.
Congratulations on your "done" project, Dai. What's the next unit you'll be adding to it..? LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteThey look awesome, especially the Hetzer tank hunter, imho, and would definitely grace any wargaming table. Super well done, and I'm looking forward to seeing the Canadians getting completed too.
Thanks Simon! (Maybe a Nebelwerfer? LOL)
DeleteLovely looking late war winter Germans, well done on finishing them off! I have neglected my bolt action troops, I really should get back on them and finish them off , half built IS2 for over 3 years, oh dear!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain, I'm glad to have them off my desk.
DeleteI think once you get your current Nap's rush out of your system that you should get back to your WW2 minis!
Some cracking troops you have there Dai.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray! Am glad I finally got this army done
