Looking good, a nice solid start.

Great paintwork there. I presume these were given a wash? Also, what colours did you use for the webbing and jackets?

They look great! I'm seeing some Marine arms in there too, which adds some great variation to the force. I've done the same thing with my Pacific Theater Army and USMC. If you want to do any guys not wearing Parsons jackets, you can also shave off the little bit below the belt and they look pretty much like the shirt, albeit minus the chest pockets, but you can't really see those most of the time anyway.

Here's an example:

Nice job.

I am guessing an Italeri/Warlord M4 (Sherman I), but was interested in what make are the jeeps?

Right on that M1.

Jeeps are Rubicon

Is that a Chaplain on the left of your pics? If so that's the first time I've ever seen one in a WW2 army, does he have any special spiritual powers?

Liked the idea of having some higher power for the inexperienced troops

In Bolt Action there are rules for a chaplin, he can test to remove a pin marker from a friendly unit.

That cross on the front of his helmet would make a great aiming point for a German sniper

Nice job on them.

It is a pity that Warlord/Italeri fitted the appliqué armour on their M4.
