[PA League] LEGIO PROMETHEUS Gabinetto RS/33 (Added: L6/40 tank)

[Katsuhiko JiNNai]

I'm considering to include some Eritrean Askari in my league (a new gang), and I know that Empress Miniatures have some nice Askari, the size is fine for my Artizan miniatures? I could take some warlord bolt action italian soldiers with steel helmet too, but must be sure their size is fine for all the other miniatures I've yet (artizan, sotr, copplestone, Empress).

[FramFramson]

Copplestone has some Askari as well. Not sure if they'd fit for Eritrea though.

Copplestone has some Askari as well. Not sure if they'd fit for Eritrea though.

I gave a look, but Copplestone have only XIX century Askari and from other countries, I need the XX century Askari from italian Eritrea. So the Empress Miniatures seem fine, if they have the correct size.

[FramFramson]

Huh. They might not work for Eritrea, but I think the Schutztruppe Askaris are pretty clearly XX century, rather than XIX:



The East Africa Co. Askaris also seem fine to me, but I can understand they wouldn't be usable as proper wartime soldiers, since their kit is just too informal:

Here the Blackshirts:

Those are really good, that's going to be an excellent league.

[Katsuhiko JiNNai]

Thanks.  Here more pictures. 
I painted the second italian paratrooper with drop battle suit.
I'm considering if paint a small italian flag in the right or left side of the paratrooper's torso (some italian tanks had an italian painted flag over the armor) as the german WW SoTR version that have a german cross.

Now I must only paint the leader (I'm waiting the miniature I've ordered) and maybe another gang with eritrean askari and a CV35 tankette. 

[FramFramson]

They look great all together like that!

[Katsuhiko JiNNai]

Thanks, and here finally Capitan Littorio 
Ironically, after ordered the miniature I wanted to use (Phantom Ace from Pulp Alley and new head from Victoria miniatures) I found that an old plastic miniature of a Warzone Bauhaus officer with a Warzone Imperial officer head could be fine for my leader. So I paint it. I've included some small italian flags in the right side of the paratrooper's dorso too (as some italian tanks had), just to say... hey these guys are italians, not germans with russian heads and british guns 

I'm not sure if paint the armor of the capitan with a camouflage italian scheme (as the paratroopers' helmets) or leave it with the grey-green paint scheme. Maybe should I include some insignia or symbols over the torso armor... or not? 

[FramFramson]

Great figure - I love it!

I would add either camouflage or insignia - something to tie him visually to the rest of the league. Right now it looks a bit like a German fell in with the Italians.

[Wolf Girl]

Very cool. 

[Katsuhiko JiNNai]

Thanks  
Here the updated miniatures with the italian camouflage. I added it to Giulietta and added some desert yellow on the helms of the paratroopers too.

[FramFramson]

That really is looking great!

Great stuff!  That's going to be a fun league!

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

That is really good, love your league!
