From BruceR - Companie of the Silver Bayonet, Heros of Glorantha, German AT (95 points)

Here is my final unit for The Silver Bayonet.  Le French.  Again, I really enjoy these miniatures and hope we can play a few games and if not, I will work them into my Sharp Practice games.  I really enjoyed the Heavy Cavalry trooper, the Old Guard (love the pipe), and the Sapper (eye patch), dang I liked them all. Great Stuff.  

Here is the whole group, used the females earlier so will not points those figures.  This group of Heros (Glorantha) travel across Europe investigating the supernatural happening on behalf of the Emperor Napoleon.  

Officer

Veteran Hunter

Grenadier

Sapper

Heavy Cavalry Trooper

Supernatural Investigator

The three units, Spanish, British, French, came in a prerelease package that included a veteran hunter and a ghoul.  I managed to complete these as well.

Veteran Hunter

Ghoul

On to another era.  I got together last week with a couple of gaming buddies, and we played a WW2 Bolt Action scenario from WSS magazine.  A great scenario depicting the allies (US as we didn't have Canadians) trying to clear the Germans from their festung of the area around Dunkirk.  The allies had a troop of tanks, with the Germans using hidden setup and loaded with panzer Faust.  The Germans were to have a Pak 38, I looked up and there was a Rubicon box teetering on the pile of shame.  So, get the glue, get the airbrush, I couldn't finish the crew so used extra spotters as crew (when you are in retreat everybody is a front liner).  

So, after we played, I tried to glue the crew together from Rubicon, and being a mostly lead/metal fan (age) I put them aside and pulled out a bag of Empress Miniatures of a Pak 40 with crew in smocks.  I painted these three plus gun and figure I will only use one gun at a time and can shift the crew.  Or draft spotters again.  I did attempt to follow the guidance of Moiterei from his blog in painting the autumn smocks, happy with mine, but no comparison to his. 

Empress Pak 40 on the left and Rubicon Pak 38 on the right.

I did paint the helmets as Herr, figuring they were in support and given smocks to help hide their very helpful AT guns.

  

11 x 25mm foot = 55 pts

Glorantha = 20 pts

2 25mm AT guns = 20

Total = 95 pts

Very nice work Bruce. Painting any sort of German camouflage from WW2 is a total brain melter, so I think you have some excellent results here. Also quite enjoy the character of those Napoleonic figures - may favourite is the heavy cavalry trooper. Those fellows look scary even when dismounted!
