20mm Painted WW2 Refugees finished.

Have finished the rest of the refugees for my WW2 period, can be used for any nation and for a lot of other modern 20th century periods I suppose as well.

Civilians were the losers in most wars.

Miniatures are from SGTS Mess and CP Models.

  2. Oh and check the old Battlefield/Blitz line of refugees... Some great ones there, if they are OOP which I think they may be, drop me a line as I have a few you can have for nowt.

  6. You are quite right, civillians will always be the losers in a war no matter which side will win!

    You have done great work with these! Really looking good!

    A special scenario where one side needs to escort them to safety, could well work!

  10. They do look sad and dejected. Carrying their few belongings with them and trudging to God knows where. A sobering thought for the day.

  11. These beautiful figures only need the poor folks with a baby carriage full of possessions. I have seen that image many times in WW II documentaries.

  17. seeing refugees is always an extremely sad thing for me. Serbia is the second country in the world with the biggest number of accepted refugees. When war started in Bosnia and Croatia we had half a million of them fleeing here. We still have more than 200,000 of them living here permanently. And my people were themselves refugees in WW1 and WW2 since we were surrounded by Nazi countries and enemies. Very sad.

  24. So what purpose would civilians have in a game? I'm guessing authenticity or eye candy.

  25. A nice looking group of miserable and sad refuges. These citizens should add a bit of spice to the hearty battles of the Table-top Wars.

  26. RE:DWei...civilians can be a menace, or a help, to either side of the conflict: by assisting or hindering the troops, if so inclined. Specifically, both animals and citizens can clog up the roadway and perhaps slow down advance or retreat.

  27. My twisted imaginations pictures a low flying fighter strafing them.

    ReplyDelete
  28. They look so downtrodden. Excellent work!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Do they do anything? I mean, do they get in the way of advancing or are they just scenery?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Really nice work. I like the two poor sods pulling the hand cart.

    Great stuff!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Looks like a crap load of work to do. Very cool. Hope you're having an oogie boogie week.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Your models really make me feel bad, bring to my eyes the photos and images of the real refugees. Excellent work, Angry

  33. whats the purpose of these? cannon fodder? hostages?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Bart@ All of the above I'm afraid.

  35. Makes me think of Robert E. Lee:

    "It is well that war is so terrible -- lest we should grow too fond of it."

  36. they sure are in a hurry to get away from something.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I like how those very real-looking trees have their roots in the soil, that is some good work too.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Cool painted figures. Not something I ever see on a games table usually.
    Cheers

  39. I was thinking the same as Bart. Those poor guys would make great cannon fodder hahaha

  40. Lovely work Fran. Nicely lined up as well for the Stuka runs.

  41. Gameplaywise what do they do? Or do they just add flavor to the battlefield.
