Ze Germans are coming!

With 2012 almost upon us, here is a sneak peek of what will be on my painting table in the new year.

This is approx 750pts of Disposable Heroes late war German Grenadiers, consisting of 3 squads of 9 men all including LMGs, a two man sniper team, four man mortar and four man HMG teams and a six man command unit which includes a radio man and a two man LMG team.

Hopefully playing with real Germans instead of Imperial Guard stand ins will increase my chances of actually hitting a barn door, and even more improved once they are painted.

See you on the front line in 2012.

I had my best time on the end of a brush since the holiday started and finished No.1 Section for my Parachute platoon.

I used a mixture of GW and Vallejo paints all helped out by a wash mid way through the process.  I am quite happy with the way they have turned out but decided that today was not a day for eyes.

I am also quite happy with the Airborne wings badge.

The first couple of figures have been done for a while and with Chris very keen to play Disposable Heroes: Point Blank I will to try and get a section (it's what a squad is called in the British Army) finished to try out the rules in the New Year.  Hopefully there will be a post showing them completed in a few days time.
