We always play a large battle at the end of the year and make it a project for our group. So this year it was Normandy late 1944 in 20mm. I had to paint over 60 Americans from AB miniatures mixed with Blitz. I knew it was going to be tough to paint them all in the painting challenge and be ready in time for the game. So I painted 24 before and finished 46 of them in the painting challenge making 184 points.

Yesterday we played a great game of Battlegroup Overlord. Mike and me played the 1st US Infantry division while Rob van S joined us with his excellent Brits. On the opposite site were Mark, Rob P and Sam with some Germans and a lot of PANZERS! We also had some support if you can call it that (Shermans, Stuarts and Greyhounds).

Below are some pictures of my troops in action (although they saw little of it because it became a real tank battle).
Nicely painted and great pics of the table!

Lovely stuff.. And they have seen action too..
ReplyDeleteNice looking bunch of dogfaces. AB Miniatures - you certainly chose the gold standard to work with. I wish there were more photos to show off your fine brushwork. The buildings on that table are quite fine as well.
ReplyDeleteI thought they were 28's, real good work

Very nicely done and the pictures of them in action are just great. Always nice to see some PBI amongst the armoured hulls.
ReplyDeleteNicely painted figures and a fantastic terrain.
ReplyDeleteGreat brushwork! Nice action shots too, looks like a great game! They must have defied the fresh painted ill luck as well, as you didn't mention it! ;)
ReplyDeleteThose miniatures look excellent.
ReplyDeleteAB figures are so beautiful, truly. You did them justice, and those are some great shots of the gaming table to boot!
