Title: Waging war against all - Some 28mm rebels/partisans (update 12 feb. 2016)
Post by: Father Primus on January 28, 2016, 08:03:12 AM

As far as I have a bit of celt/numidian/german/french/saxon/american/brettonian spare parts, I've decided to make small but deadly rebel/partisan force.

So, here is first "task force" under some fancy-dressed ex-gipsy criminal.

Excellent work on those. Where are the coats hanging from the shoulders from?

Excellent use of the imagination - brilliant combos of foreign parts! You really cannot beat a good conversion - and these are the best.

Draped coat - Victrix French Napoleonic? An idea I must steal for 54mm.

Thank you, gentlemen!  :)

Yes, this cool-looking coat is from Victrix line french, and I must say that this box has AMAZING amount of useful parts, especially arms and expressive faces)

Excellent idea - you might want to try the Warlord Games Soviet WW2 sprues especially the ones for winter uniform and weapons.

Statuesque Miniatures also do a beautiful Broomhandle Mauser and other small arms in their Pulp range

Von Stroheim:

Hm..... That could be very nice addition to my forces! WWI and WWII soviet greatcoats are virtually identical in this scale...


I'll try to paint these guys as soon as possible.

So, here they are - heroic partisans!

Ready to defend their moonshine industry or unleash hell upon enemy supply lines.

Thank you!

I hope more will follow - there are some plans and ideas, including HMG, cavalry and tachanka.

All I can say is WOW!

I really have to tip my hat to someone who can built a great mob of miniatures from such an eclectic bits pile, and the painting really does justice to such awesome conversions.
