Title: Offensive Miniatures Italians
Post by: BattlewagonBruce on 14 April 2013, 02:45:30 AM

I was asked about our Italians for WW2.

As we have Italian infantry figs as a one off pack and suitable heads I thought I would have a go at some conversions to Carabinieri.

They are on the paint table at present to go to Salute with our desert raiders.

What do people think? Should we do these as a proper set and expand it?

Yes, but with the sahariana shirts and in the proper vehicles to battle the LRDG at Kufra ;)

I would definitely like to see them expanded.

I'd be happy if Offensive covered the whole of the Western Desert fighting!

Nice figures!  I'd prefer steel helmets or Alpini hats over sun helmets

The current packs we do have steel helmets. Have a look at

I just had a go at converting these, but the boss likes them so I think we will be doing some properly.
