Not a very good photo, and it was taken before the varnish was applied. But these are the command group for my first battalion of Prussian line infantry, 1st bat., 1st regt., 1st East Prussian. The figures are Perry metals, with an officer by Calpe miniatures. The Perry long coated infantry are very easy toContinue reading “More Prussians”

Napoleonic Prussian Landwehr
With the new year Im starting a new project. I chose to do Prussians for the Napoleonic period. To a large part I chose them because they seem to be easy to paint en masse and quickly because they have simple, unadorned uniforms. They should be a good choice for speed painting. Another reason forContinue reading “Napoleonic Prussian Landwehr”
Three more…
Some more Germans, this time they are the last ones remaining on my desk, so hopefully I will be doing other stuff for a while. These three figures were made from one Foundry figure with a Warlord head, one Perry figure with Warlord head and one Perry figure with its original head still intact. IContinue reading “Three more…”
Yet another German…
This one is a Perry DAK figure with no modifications, just painted in regular German colors, the tunic as an early war model. Rivet counters will probably find fault with some of the kit, but it looks convincing enough to me.
And one more…
At the moment one figure at a time is about what I can manage. This one is a Perry miniatures Afrika Korps NCO with a Warlord head, and painted as GD at Kursk. Unfortunately the magazine of the SMG wasnt perfectly cast, and that shows now that the figure is painted. I really should andContinue reading “And one more…”
Another German…
Just one more Foundry German, again this one has a Warlord Games head. These figures are exactly what you want in ww2 Germans for games like CoC or BA; they wear the high boots, but not the gas mask bag on the chest as some other makers versions. This means that they have the lookContinue reading “Another German…”
German officer
Have had very little time over for painting lately, but managed to do this German officer. I painted him in a early war style uniform but a 1943 style of camo helmet cover. I have prepared a few more figures in a similar style and hopefully will be able to finish them in the comingContinue reading “German officer”
Pz III command tank
I finished a third panzer III intended for the 1943 setting. The tank model is by Waffenkammer and the commander figure by Empress. I left out the side skirts around the turret on this one, but added some of the hull skirts, which is the opposite of what I did with the other two tanks.Continue reading “Pz III command tank”
German lmg team and nco
Another addition to my very slowly growing collection of WW2 Germans. This is a lmg team and a nco, figures are by Warlord Games. Originally, these were sculpted to look like cavalry, but the only thing I needed to do was remove the spurs on their boots and they pass for regular infantry or panzerContinue reading “German lmg team and nco”
Back to Bolt Action
Tonight a game of Bolt Action was played between a panzer platoon with panzer grenadier support and a red army tank platoon with tankodesantniki, set ca 1943. The fight was over three objectives spread out evenly across a wide but quite narrow field of battle. Bolt Action makes for a quick and simple game andContinue reading “Back to Bolt Action”
