Warlord Games/Artizan Ardennes US infantry

[Utgaard]

Great work again, really beautiful painted ones again!

[Phil Robinson]

Very nicely turned out figures.

Well done

[Jeff965]

Thanks guys

[Jeff965]

I needed two Artizan riflemen to enable me to take the squad up to 12 figures, I put some feelers out on the wanted section of this forum and within days these five figures plopped on to my doormat. They had come all the way from Finland courtesy of fellow Laffer and all round generous good guy Pocoloco, thanks matey
There were two guys in parkas and an NCO that I decided would work as some platoon command, the parka guys are from the Devils Brigade range of figures from Artizan but I think they look OK as a couple of junior Officers.

They really do look cold. Lovely painting set off by excellent bases. 

[Romark]

Nice work on those GI's Jeff 

[Jeff965]

Cheers guys, some support weapons next

[aircav]

Cracking stuff. 

[Stuart]

Excellent work Jeff, any light vehicles in the offing?

[gamer Mac]

Very nice work

[vodkafan]

Love this thread. I must say I much prefer these US figures to the new Empress ones, they look like they would paint up very cleanly even for me.

[Jeff965]

Thanks for the comments chaps, much appreciated

Excellent work Jeff, any light vehicles in the offing?

They will come eventually Stuart, I've got to learn how to paint vehicles first without an airbrush. Any pointers to good tutorials would be appreciated.

Love this thread. I must say I much prefer these US figures to the new Empress ones, they look like they would paint up very cleanly even for me.

Glad you like the thread vodkafan, I've used Warlord Games and Artizan miniatures for this platoon simply because I wanted some variety. I have some of the new Empress figures which I really like but I haven't included them here as I was thinking of doing another platoon at a later date on Spring/summer bases for the push into Germany

Loving these recent additions! As an inveterate mix and matcher when it comes to assembling forces like this I have Warlord Games alongside Artizan, Blacktree, Westwind, Stoessi's Heroes and now Offensive Miniatures....they all work and add something to the whole?

This thread is awesome ...but I really don't need to feel any colder right now 

[pocoloco]

Awesome work once again Jeff!  Love them! 

I should have sent you more

If you are not going to use airbrush on vehicles, may I suggest that you do most of the groundwork for vehicle painting with spray cans, some manufacturers offer US Olive drab etc colours in cans and whitewashing tutorials (if you choose to whitewash some of the vehicles) are plenty abound e.g. in the Youtube.

Keep up the great work!
