Now, as more villagers get weapons and training, they can not only defend themself, but also offend somebody else...





..and more are yet to come...

These are great! It's amazing how some well painted models can make you want to start up gaming in a new setting/period. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice.  I fancy nicking that camo - what colours did you use for it, if you don't mind sharing?

Thanks again  :)

Very nice.  I fancy nicking that camo - what colours did you use for it, if you don't mind sharing?

I've read that "recipe" of WWII german camo in my first WI magazine many years ago.
1. Base is painted with Khemri brown (or any dry earth color like that), highlited with small addition of white.
2. Then roughly 1/3 of the cloak is painted with Chocolate brown in curvy but sharp vertical lines.
3. After that I add small patches of rich green color - they always should intersect with brown lines.
4. And finally I paint "Z"-pattern lines with Ivory (or any yellowish bone pale color) in every space free of camo patches.

I love them.
But the anti-armor guy with the panzerfausts and shield is my favorite.
I'm sure he feels totally safe hiding behind it while engaging his target.  ;D
