Here is the late-war Waffen SS squad - now with the addition of the panzerschreck guy. I made the "pea dots" larger on the 'schreckie dude, as the earlier attempts are harder to make out.
This site was created late in 2008, just a few years after first becoming involved in wargaming. As you can tell by the name, WAB was my introduction to this community. I appreciate the following and comments this blog receives, and give all thanks and credit to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It may seem odd that this blog appears to focus on the folly of mankind's continuous warfare, but I believe I can still enjoy this hobby so long as I put Him first in all I do. Maranatha!

Victory Force Minis - Waffen SS Squad & Panzershcreck-ies
Here are several more VFM Germans; this time some much-needed panzerschreck firers. These guys should help stop US armor in future Disposable Heroes (or other WW2) games. Starting on the left, the first guy is a standard Heer infantryman with a field camo'd weapon; the second guy is a Waffen SS guy in late-war pea dot camo; the last guy a Fallshirmjaeger in splinter camo smock.
For painting tutorials, this Flames of War article was used for the pea dot camo; and the old Resistant Roosters article for the splinter pattern. Both articles are very good and easy to follow.

The camo is really impressive - well done!
ReplyDeleteWow Dean - really nicely done. I don't think Allied armour - except a JS Stalin front on - would be able to stand up to a hit by these guys. Interesting how early war there was a dearth of anti-tank weapons - late war, everybody's got one!
ReplyDeleteGreat camos BTW - & how much fun is 'Disposable Heroes' eh?!? - doing a Jap vs Aussies one this weekend! :-)
Cheers,
Doc
Excellent paint work and thanks for the links. I've a bundle of Warlord Fallschirmjager that I haven't touched, you've got me inspired.
ReplyDeleteMmmm 28mm WW2 Aussies eh!!
Great work Dean!
ReplyDeleteAren't those panzerschrecks a bit on the large side!! They look like sewer pipes! :-)
No matter; your painting skills have made them look great!

Thanks for the great comments again, Gents! The 'schrecks do look imposing don't they ;)!
ReplyDeleteDH/CF7B is a good 1:1 set of skirmish rules; I like the option to add vehicles without them being the primary focus - perfect for cramped street fights - as well as jungle terrain too, I should think.
Regards, Dean
A mean looking bunch.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done!
Very nice! I remember you lamenting over the short ranges of your panzerfausts. :)
