All, So I've been working on some 10mm WWII US and German troops from Pendraken to play some tiny skirmish games. What I'm looking at is finally getting back to my "All Americans" campaign (after five years!); previously I played ten games following an 82nd Airborne Division rifle platoon in Sicily, and another two in Italy. You can find them here, on a new blog I created (or re-purposed, but whatever):
link Anyway, I'm looking to get back into that, so I took these troops, got them painted up, and wanted to share them. As usual, they're not beautiful, but they're mine, and they'll do what I need them to do. I actually spent a really long time on these guys; rather than my normal block painting, base, and wash, I didn't base them and didn't wash them. I was going for a particular look, so I did a blacklining job on them. Hope they look decent.

And how about a bazooka?

A German MG-42 team.
And the German Panzerschreck team. To see a bunch more pics, please check the blog at:
link Well, that's them, let me know what you think. I'm pumped to play some games, gotta figure out what I'm going to do about terrain… V/R,

I like 'em! Black priming is my preferred style for anything 12mm or smaller. |

Thanks, I appreciate it! I have a quick, sloppy blacklining I do for massed troops, and I have a slightly better, much more time-consuming blacklining. I'm sure this looks like the former, but I assure you it's the latter ;) V/R,

They look really good. You have super eye sight. Are you going to base them for ease of handling/identification? |

Thanks, Martin, and the eyesight's doing okay, I suppose ;)
Negative, I'm not going to base them, they're staying 'as is' for this project. My plan is to play on a very small board, probably 12" x 12", purely small skirmish actions. I hope all is well in Piggie Land! V/R,

I like them. I bet they can be clearly seen from distance. |

Thanks Javier, I like them too ;) V/R,
