That first pic very dramatic Digits! I imagined you being slung in a harness suspended from the washing line hanging over the table in the garden  lol

Ha…sorry, just got what you meant!    Jamie has a nice camera on his phone, held above the table it has a wide angle….yes good pic.

More supports for the paras.   Mostly Artizan.  I modified the pistol wielding officer to give him an smg seeing as there is no option for a pistol in CoC lists.

The characters on the right are my attempt at buy one…get four free!  They can field as a PIAT, a 2”mortar, an engineering team or a sniper though we don’t usually put snipers on the table tbh.

I like the team that stands in for a couple of options! Very clever indeed.

Thanks chaps.

Really enjoying these guys, despite being frightened of starting them for a long while now!

So, the only obvious missing parts are the 6lbr AT gun, a second Vickers team…not that I NEED one, but seeing as somehow I actually have three of them (the Artizan one above plus two Warlord ones) it would be rude not to.  I also need to buy a 75mm pack howitzer.  I also have a couple of Warlord jeeps to do, but I’m just holding off on them….

First up though, because we are eyeing the campaign Kampfgruppe  Von Luck, I need an extra section.  Whilst I’m at it, I thought I’d add yet another alternate senior leader into the mix (yes, that will be five, don’t ask!).   I love this mini from Artizan, but like the Officer above, without an smg, pretty useless, so the simplest of conversions and I’m ultra hobby with him!   Lord alone knows what an adventure HE had descending from the heavens……must have scared the crap out of Jerry! Lol

Love that figure, keen to see what you do with it. Looking at some Airborne to use as dismounted SAS in NWE having just read of Roy Farran's escapades in France just after D-Day for Operation Wallace. An almost unbelievable story.

Thanks chaps.

All your Paras look good so far.  So does your 5th Senior Leader (Let's see, Plt. Sgt., Plt. Lt., Co. XO, Co. Cdr., and Bn. Cdr.  Yup - that's 5...... :D)

As for him, where didja get the Sten Gun?  Warlord?  Somewhere else?

It’s off the weapon sprue that you got with the early warlord British infantry…..you can still get sprues I think.   Useful to have as it also has Bren, PIAT etc which are not attached to arms .

Cheers guys.

Your wish, mine to obey…

Sorry the light is crap, but you get the idea.   I like this model.
