I picked up a copy of a War Transformed a while back and have been putting together some patrols. I have British and German Empire so far with plans to do French as well.
I have finished photographing the British and have enough to put together a 20SP patrol.
The core of the minis are from Wargames Atlantic with additional ones from Great War miniatures, Gripping Beast, Crooked Dice, Reaper and Horror Clix!
First up my Captain and Witch. The Captain is an old converted Westwind mini and the Witch is from Crooked Dice

I Have two Infantry Sections with an NCO in each section and one section with a Lewis gun.
Both are from Wargames Atlantic. One section is wearing gas-masks so I can tell them apart.

In keeping with a “British Theme” I have tried to create manifestations which would fit in with the lore.

The “Snatcher” is an Imp/Brownie wearing Elizabethan clothes (antediluvian miniatures)
The “Beguiler” is a Vampire mini from Highgate Miniatures
The “Haunter” is an old Horrorclix mini
The “Prowler” is a Murder of Crows from Reaper minis
The “Devourer” is a Strawman from Crooked Dice
The “Crusher” is an old Horrorclix mini
I’ve really enjoyed putting these together and have plans to build a trench set-up for the table top.
I will post my Germans shortly.

That is a great collection, cunningly curated from so many sources, and beautifully painted and finished :-*
Looking forward to seeing what you have done with the Germans :)
-
A fantastic force - great work on them - they really come together, even though they are from many sources.
-
Wow, and ANOTHER Pappa Midnight thread, with far more than just the tanks. What a force you've assembled! Particularly love the commanders and that sniper team, but they're all very well done.
-
Wowzers, as if WW1 wasn't scary enough it's now got horror being to eviscerate the human chaff!
Painted soldiers look amazing, the barbed wire muddy bases work so well. I look forward to seeing some more when you get to it thanks for sharing.
Cheers
Matt

such inspiring work here. Just gorgeous, creative and well done. May I post some of it on my War Transformed Facebook group? who would I give credit to?
Also, you brought back memories with the Spinspur miniature and reference. that took me way, way back. You must be a veteran wargamer.

Nice work 8)

Apologies for taking so long to respond. Real life stuff unfortunately.
Anyhow, thank you all for your comments. I am looking at putting together a small trench system for these and a French force.
