Time for another painting update - I'm afraid the pictures aren't as good as my usual output, mainly due to rushing and not having enough (artificial) light... Heyho. Hopefully you cane still get a feel!
First off, some more Soviet motor rifles. I've only just realised that one of the snipers was destined to become a partisan, but has snuck through the ranks. Not a major problem, I've one more figure left so he'll go to be a partisan instead and the 2nd MR platoon gets it's sniper support earlier than expected :) I've also got some heavier support for the Soviets (HMG, ATGM & RR) which despite not being in the FoF Orbats should come in handy for games...
The first of my Twilight 2000/post-apocalypse figures, in this case a female civilian with a sword. Not a subject I'd necessarily have chosen, but she came with the eye-patch wearing lady with sawn-off shotgun and long coat who I wanted for a partisan leader, and it seemed a shame not to use her for something. She might also make the occasional comedy appearance in CWGH when a band of refugees are transformed into poorly equipped partisans...
And speaking of partisans... Yet more of them are done! A HMG for AA/ground use as appropriate in the scenario, 2 pics of some western/generic partisans, and a gaggle of 'Eastern' (read: Polish) partisans. The Poles are mainly Platoon 20 'WW2' figures (I use the ' ' marks as in the P20 catalogue they were marked as possibly be useful for other, later, European conflicts; which given the companies small 'Post Apocalypse' cough *not-Twilight 2000* cough range at the time seemed like a fairly broad hint. Certainly the kneeling guy with shotgun could have escaped Somerset yesterday, and I've tried to use generic muted colours and wellies to give the gear a more timeless feel.). The weaponry is a bit archaic, but most WarPact countries still had stocks of PPSh's in storage to dish out to civilian militia, so that's my reasoning...
Nice work Xander, looking very nice!
