I recently painted up some 15mm Polish Paratroopers for a custom game we will be playing, (based on both the One Page Rules and NetEpic rulesets). The miniatures are from Forged In Battle's excellent B-PARA-01 British Paratrooper Platoon pack. I based the miniatures on pennies, and worked to paint them up relatively quickly, although the camouflage took more time then I liked. I based them on the pennies, added sand, then primed them with Army Painter Desert Yellow, which was then left, as is, for the trousers. I tried to follow the great guide from Crac des Chevaliers. I cheated by using both a green and brown Sharpie to help with the camouflage, as well as a metallic Sharpie for the silver parts. I dipped them using the reliable MinWax PolyShade: Royal Walnut Satin – my usual dipping media since 2008. link

They're very well done, and a relatively unusual subject compared to their British counterparts. Those Forged in Battle figures are absolutely brilliant, so cleanly cast and well proportioned, I immediately sold my old Battlefront paratrooper set as soon as I got mine in the post. I'm glad I'm not the only one basing their 15mm figures individually. |

Berets are an odd colour. The one my dad had is much more blue/grey. |
