I paint small metal and plastic figures and rarely get to play with them. But that is fine with me.

Treleaven and the Sneakies

Title sounds like a bad 60's children's program.(Next door neighbours to the Wombles perhaps?)

Last night finished up basing two of my sniper teams and a few touch ups on my Captain John Treleaven warrior team.

Being only 6 infantry and some scenery pieces, these were done in record time.

Excited to try out the snipers, though at 50 points each, I completely agree with the general consensus that they are W-A-Y over priced for what they do. regardless, they'll add something new and fun to my casual games.

Captain John Treleaven is a British warrior team from the D-Day landings book and can be used instead of an infantry platoon commander and offers some nice abilities for a low cost, list depending. (He can be used  for any of the Rifle or Assault lists in Overlord - not bad.) Best thing about Captain John is his mini - by itself it's a cool little scene of him supporting his downed superior officer (Who has a lovely large 'tache, though the pics fail to show it - sorry.) who has obviously fallen afoul of some blast and is crawling from under some rubble.



Next up is my first sniper team who are looking about for a better position to take their pin-point shots from. I've tried to make it look like this team is a dawn/dusk specialist and blacked out their faces for extra camo.





2nd Sniper team are already set up in the underbrush, ready to take out that Hun Commander on the ridge!



[Apologies if the pics aren't all that great - still getting to grips with this new phone camera. Seems convenience is winning over quality where camera and lightbox set-up is concerned!)
