Title: Winter war Germans update 20/05/18
Post by: Romark on 12 September 2017, 03:05:05 PM
Here is my first squad,all Warlord Games minis,for our upcoming game.
Not up to Jeff's standard I'm afraid,remember he's a lot younger than me,no honestly  lol,and anyway when he comes up to mine for a game I always switch out the light bulb for a 40w so you can't see the paint jobs anyway  ;)

They look good to me.
Of course you can always attack at night.
With no lights, in the dark would be a very interesting battle. ;)

I have considered the possibility of playing the attack on Pegasus Bridge at midnight with the curtains closed and the lights off.  All I need to make this dream a reality is a couple of miners' helmets that are low on power.

Nothing wrong with those paint jobs, apply the two foot rule and they will look fine against mister fancy pants figures
What make of paint are you using for the whites?

Only just spotted this after the opposition thread was spied.
All that white camoflauge must be paying off as I spotted the Yanks first.
 ;)

A nice looking force is coming together here, even if you are cheating in the tank department.

Great stuff, Tarquin!
