Luftwaffe Fieldtroops

I always had a soft spot for Luftwaffe troops.

All of a sudden the mechanics and ground personal were given a rifle and with almost no training they were sent to the front.

 

The miniatures are 15mm from Battlefront.

I bought them once in an attempt to be able to play them as the 16^th Luftwaffenfelddivision, but has yet only painted this squad. One more squad is still in its blisterpack, hopefully they will see a battlefield sometime in an distant future.

And as a sidenote I just wanted to say that its a baaaad thing when you got King Tigers running about...

A friend and I just got our asses handed to us by some big cats in the latest game.

PzIIC, DAK

Its been a while since I painted any 15mm WW2 stuff. But now when Battlefront is releasing the third edition and a friend started to talk about earlywar I couldn´t help my selves.

I open up the drawer with half painted miniatures (its rather crowded…) and brought some Panzer II into the light.

Now their painted up in dessert cammo and markings are added. Their good to go.

Panzer Aufklärerläufer 1-A “Heinrich”

A new spring… The flowers are blooming and a new year with better air protection is at hand.

I give you the latest model in the German recon and anti air arsenal, the Panzer Aufklärerläufer 1-A “Heinrich” armed with a FlakVierling 2cm cannon.

I just thought I should test some new techniques and had a spare model to do it on. It turned out great. And it was lots of fun to paint.




The model is from Dust tactics

I finally got my hands on the small bases I wanted. That meant that I could base all my gnomes.

Excellent service, highly recommended.

You must all be wondering why the peacefully gnomish populations are taking to arms, the answer lays in the aggressiveness of the trolls.

 

I think its time to soon stop using that troll every time I post pictures.

Vikings

For a long time I was not sure if it should develop into a Viking or a medieval project, but as almost all fantasy is medieval in its basic I went for the Viking variant. And this means that I can get all kind of creatures or legends of the Norse mythology into this.

And now I have finally painted up some Vikings to the project.
The miniatures are plastic Viking Hirdmen from Gripping Beast.
Good value for your money there.


The first test miniatures.

I tested a new style on the bases, I went with much more duller, less colorful bases so the miniatures can be brighter without being too bright. Im not totally happy with that but it will do. I think it’s a little wrong color on the grass.

Im happier with the “non metal, metal” on metal technique I tested on these miniatures.
