Finished AEWWII British Airborne force

[Muddypaw]

Well, besides a few bits 'n bobs here and there (a jeep, flamethrower and heavy machine gun), I am just about finished with my AEWWII Brit Force.

I thought I'd do some 'in media res' photos and see how they look in action. Now I just need to paint some German opposition for my son, and we are ready to actually play 


Here's the whole force double timing down a quiet Normandy road.


A dog handler, dispatch rider and SoE Agent watch the flank.


Close up of the dispatch rider.


Rachel Knight, SoE agent, lines up her shot.


A modified British Buffalo lumbers along in the centre of the column.


Stragglers run to catch up as snipers watch the rear.



The column disappears down the dusty road.

Fantastic 

The whole diorama has great feel to it.

Your just waiting for a german patrol to come along.

Good to see all of those figures in one group.

What fig is the Buffalo?

[marrony]

Excellent...the snipers are superb.

Fantastic paintjobs, I'm envious...

[midismirnoff]

Top stuff! Nice overall feel, perfect balance between the historical and the weird feel!

[anevilgiraffe]

really nice... not really followed this stuff... who makes what there?

Thanks for the comments everyone 

The models are mostly Artizan, apart from the battle suit (West Wind), Rachel Knight (Warm Acre), the bike (Bolt Action), the dog (Foundry) and the dryad (Ilyad). All excellent models, but I am especially fond of the Rachel Knight miniature, it was a joy to paint!

Now I need to think of some weird elements for the opposing germans. Someone mentioned a sorcerer summoning skeletons from the ground, I think that might look quite stylish, along with some WWI germans painted in ghostly tones, rather than the ever present zombies

Great paint!  Keep it coming.

Really nice figures, is the dispatch rider converted?

[gamer Mac]

Excellent stuff.  It all really works well together.
Your painting is fantastic. Very original army.

Oh I really like that idea!

Great looking table, figures and terrain. Thanks for sharing!!

I had to come back and say that, Damn that is one good looking strage war groups of paras you have there.

Make it a Krieghexe summoning Draugr (draugren?) and it's canonical...
