When i was painting these 2 platoons i suddenly realized that i posted the wrong army list in 90. Leichte Afrika Division Schützen Company part 1: The List. I have changed that now.
Further before i even could start painting i had to remove a lot of mold lines. Also some mini's are a little deformed. I tried to remove and fixed as much as possible but some is still visible.
On to the platoons.
Each platoon contains 1 Commander MG team and 6 MG teams. Added are 1 Anti Tank rifle team and 1 Mortar team. For now i have decided to leave out the transports.

Nice work. I was tempted to go down the North Africa route when I started collecting FoW. I holidayed in Egypt many years ago and the desert has a strong pull on my soul. I ended up opting for Late War/Normandy to encourage the interest of my Brother-in-law. He's not wargamed before but for a long time I've sensed he was 'on the cusp' and just one little nudge from me could start him down that path. I was right, and now we are working towards a Normandy campaign. But I still dream of the desert...
ReplyDeleteThanks.I also went on holidays to Egypt many years go. It was hot, fun and great to see all the places.
ReplyDeleteI am more interested in Late War specially Airborne. I wanted to start a new army as both my Late War Army's are Allies i decided the next must be German and Mid War. Only problem now is that there is only 1 other with an Mid War army: Italian.
Great job to get your brother-in-law pulled in the game. And that dream of the dessert...it won't stay a dream. ;)
Great looking troops my friend. I actually need to add some desert brush to my North Africa Italian infantry stands. Now that I've seen yours, I think I'll be using the same. I assume those are Woodland Scenics?
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteThe pebbles are found in my garden. The brush are different colored Lichen. I would suggest to avoid using the green ones. Suggestions are to use the Natural, Autumn mix for the brown colors and maybe spring green lichen.
I sealed the teams after i glued the lichen on.
And yes it's Woodland Scenics.
