Last year I did a German 15mm artillery company and support.
This year I'm moving up to 28mm and will do an Early War army for Bolt Action, particularly for Op Sealion/Gigant.
I will start with Infantry:
Jul - The plan being HQ and support weapns (these are done and I'll post pics up soon).
Aug - 2 Infantry Squads
Sep - 1 Infantry squad and some BUF support.
I will follow these up with some Fallschirmjaegers and then some Panzergrenadiers as I picked a load up when they were doing sprues for bargain prices.

Nice installment :)
I like the shots with the soldiers using the hedges as cover.
-
Very nice. Love the scenery as well

Very nice work.
You say you are doing early-war Germans - wasn't the Panzershrek late war kit?
-
No idea :o
My army list doesn't include the 'schreks", but at our club we sometimes run alternative lists (eg Hollywood fully SMG equipped squads), so I got some and painted them.
Next squad is awaiting varnish at the moment, having had grass tufts added this evening.
-
Lovely start, and a good choice for the Luftwaffe FO.
-
Squad 2 completed....and already advancing into a small English village...

Lovely (and that house in the background is pretty special too).
-
Thanks.
-
Looking good, although I'm not sure even Hollywood would have 'schreks in 1940 (oh, I don't know though lol).
Love that building as well, Petite Properties station masters house? You've done a great job on that.
-
Thanks levied troop. Yes, it's the Station Master's Cottage I have a number of their buildings built and ready for painting for my village. The church is still in a bag though - it's gonna be a big project.
-
Great Germans :D
I like the early war germans because they remind me of 60s-70s war movies, which in my opinion are the best.

3rd Squad completed...

You are on a roll!
-
Lovely work on your painted collection.
-
Thanks.
Next up will be some transport. I've got a Rubicon Opel Blitz. A friend has some that he picked up cheap on ebay, so will do a comparison and see how the cheaper ones compare. Might try the Warlord Games one too (same price as the Rubicon).
Should I get Kubelwagen for Command team? How about support weapons teams?
For Sealion games I've got some vans that they can go in, but for other games I'll want military vehicles.
I have 3 Hanomags for my Panzergrenadiers and the PAK37 (?) version for the command team. But again I'm not sure what to get for the support weapons teams....more Hanomags?
-
Because of the scarcity of "Hanomags", support units were more likely to have motor transport such as 1-3 ton trucks, quite often captured vehicles or those from occupied countries after their production facilities were pressed in to service to feed the ever increasing need. Fords, Matfords, Renault, Morris, Bedford etc.
Thanks.
