Drab, a bit like this year really. Nothing bright and colorful so look away now, additions to the WWII collections only.
First up I only have one SU76 and need two for the upcoming Starpel scenario game, written by Piers Brand, featuring in Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy #108, so I assembled and painted the three PSC ones I had waiting in their box. They do not appear until turn seven, given my recent track record my Volksturm will be long gone by then, but at least its one box left in the plastic kit pimple.
AB and Foundry crew figures.
Speaking of the Volksturm I needed another two figures for the scenario, luckily I had these Wartime Miniatures, now produced by Simon's Soldiers in the lead mountain.
Never needing much of an excuse to add to the collection, the scenario requires scouts and combat engineers, of which I have some. Not wanting to use "normal" infantry as a substitute I ordered up these AB Figures scouts.
Finally you may recall from a previous post I started some 28mm Germans in foxholes, here they are, I just need to do a LMG team to join them now.
All being well we will be playing the scenario here at OHQ next Monday.
Until then KBO.
More Rooshians, Huzzah!!! More Krauts, Booooo! Seriously, really grand additions! Looking forward to the tabletop action resuming in OHQ next Monday.
ReplyDeleteIndeed it will be good to get back to some FtF gaming in OHQ.
DeleteIt's very doubtful I will seal it with a win but it will be fun trying.
I do like a SU-76 and yours is very nicely done. Goes to search for a 28mm one for myself.....
ReplyDeleteThank you Paul, it's a natty looking vehicle for sure.
DeleteNice Phil. I just cannot bear to cut guys in half despite it looking good.
ReplyDeleteThank you George. As for the conjuring trick gone wrong they were free and plastic, so it doesn't count🙂
DeleteNice work indeed.
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt.
DeleteG'Day Phil, nice painting - the Wartime / Simon Soldiers Volksturm look the part. I like the MG 08 they have in their range. Cheers Greg
ReplyDeleteThank you Greg. I have the MG08 team to paint up, already have the Britannia one, but couldn't resist it.
DeleteAnd very nice they all look too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray.
DeleteLovely su76 and scouts I am tempted by the volkstrum at some point!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you Iain. Never likely to win with Volksturm, but it's fun trying🙂
DeleteLovely toys Phil...
ReplyDeleteNot drab at all...
All the best. Aly
Thank you Aly, glad you think so.
DeleteNice work Phil. I still have 3 part finished PSC SU-76s I lost the will to live trying to match up the cabin compartments to the hull.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jon. Can't say I noticed the compartment panels, I used the late model ones.
