Painted 2nd 20mm WW2 Early French Infantry Squad.

Finished the 2nd squad (front row squad) of Blitz Miniatures early war French for Operation Sealion What If?, nice figures as I've said and I like that the 2nd sergent has different headgear to the previous one. I will have the rest of the figures done this week (Platoon command, Hotchkiss HMGs, artillery crew and some officers for sneering at the British).

We had a 15mm Late War WW2 game at Posties yesterday helping Ian (rarely seen lapsed Reject) test out his rules but his scenery was the the real joy and myself and Ray will post tomorrow pictures from the game which he lost (incredible tantrum).

The pictures at the bottom are a request from Smillie (go visit his miniatures blog) to show 28mm figures beside the 20mm church.











28mm Copplestone, Hasslefree and Heresy miniatures.

    Great job indeed - they look great.

    I too like late war gaming - what rules were you trying out? I'll look forward to that post in due course!

    I want to see how the guys in front of the church could change the entire course of history in your game. They could travel back in time and throw a wrench into the whole works.

    Nicely painted Francois, and foe all you oit there, I didn't lose the game, I'm afraid that honour went to Fran and Postie, they are being shot a dawn tomorrow, so he might not be posting his report!!!

    These are excellent -- I really like the little touches of individuality (like the kepi, the red scarf, the white scarf).

    Ah, those Frenchies are very nice Angry. My early war knowledge is iffy at best, but those look just right!

    Those are very nice, both the figures and the painting. There is just something about the adrian helmet...

    You REJECTS seem to be getting more and more into WW2 ?

    Such detail. How long does it take to paint all of those?

    Nicely adorned troops. The subtle shading (An applied wash I presume) is very effective.

    Such great detail. I can't even paint the in-law's house plain white without screwing up. Once again envious of your skills.

    Bloody nice work on the 20mm french and thanks for the size comparison pictures, Its probably not everyone's taste but I think I could probably deal with using 20mm buildings with 28mm figures.

    Cheers

    Nicely painted. Details looks great. The church would make a good chapel it seems for bigger scales

    Wow! Impressive detail when zooming the photos. Can you tell me the colours of the of the uniform, webbing and helmet, please?

  34. MRanthrope10 October 2011 at 19:44

    those figures in the final/bottom picture are quite odd compared to the usual cool military ones. The fat dude with the cigar reminds me of a comic book type crime boss/villain.

    I've just purchase the Dapol 20mm church for use with my 1/72nd Napoleonic figs. Your stuff looks great! Love the detail on the figures. Nice paint job.

    Very cool, I think the French was simply sneered at for surrendering, it's not like they could do anything else at the time. For the resistance!

    Also that cigar is massive.
