Here's the plan, I'm putting together a VG rifle platoon from the Bloody Bucket Pint sized Campaign from Too Fat Lardies.
It's a green platoon with a sprinkling of vets from the Eastern front.
I'm hoping then to cover the Sturm platoon which will have a lot of automatic weapons and then eventually a standard platoon from the CoC rulebook.
As usual I like to start a thread to help motivate myself to get stuff done and I've managed to complete a squad this week. It'll be slow progress because I have Peninsular and Ancient projects on the go as well.
The figures are all Warlord games using the plastic 'greatcoat' boxed set and some of the metal 'winterised' Germans.

Nice clean painting. They're looking really good so far. Getting the whole platoon together will look even better.

Very nice work Jeff! Am currently painting up some of the Empress late war / cold weather Germans, quite possibly also with the Bloody Bucket pint sized campaign in mind. I reckoned either the whole platoon is in snowbound conditions or it isn't - and if it isn't you really wouldn't want to stand out like that. But each to his own ...

Thanks for commenting guys, I'm painting Ancients at the moment but I'm hoping to get the next squad of these done soon.
The Rifle platoon will consist of 3 squads and a platoon commander with 3 rifle grenadiers, 28 figures in all so it shouldn't take long even for a slow painter like me

The Bloody Bucket campaign happened before the heavy snowfall but my battlefields will be snow covered (coz I like the look) hence the snow covered bases.

Nice painting - the uniform greens and whites go well together.
