Early War Polish - Scout platoon

Finished the scout platoon today, made it a full 2 section unit. 1 command, 7 rifle stands and one rifle stand turned into a Anti Tank rifle team as an upgrade. 9 stands in total.

Also made sure to take some slightly better pictures this time around.

I'm very excited for this Saturday as I'm going to play my first game of Early War with my own Polish against my buddy Widgrens Germans. We have not yet decided for point limit - he has a large 2000pts infantry based German army. We might end up playing a "custom force" to try out as many units as possible outside of the set organizations. We'll see.

The models in this unit are mostly made up of Forged in Battle miniatures, but there are a couple of True North models as well (all models with field caps except for the commander).





In other news, I spend a good 90 minutes ordering some excellent models from Siberian Miniatures this evening, the ones shown below. I really look forward to painting them. I have a soft spot for the Renaissance era Polish-Lithuanian stuff. Thats one Winged Hussar companion, the two Ukrainian Cosacks could either be painted up as allies or part of the Khmelnytsky Uprising.

I love painting large scale 54mm stuff, all 3 models will have mini dioramas of their own.


Apart from that I'm waiting for the Troll and Ogre models for my Blood Bowl teams, the replacement Lovecraft monsters from the Frothers UK Shop and there might be more pirate models on their way for commission painting.
