From KyleC: Commonwealth Reinforcements in WW2 Bolt Action (70 Points )

Thankfully the Human team is finished, and I can get back to easier and more quickly painted miniatures.


First up is a set of 12 Sikh warriors painted up to be fighting in the North Africa theatre. Joining my Canadian forces that I have started to paint up earlier in the year and during last years competition.

I had picked this up from a local gaming convention in Hampshire for a song and a dance really. Since they were on clearance and then some. Cannot recall what brand they are ( Aztec or Artisan perhaps? ) but they are nicely sculpted.

I did try for a more khaki, toned down color scheme in comparison to the brightly colored Blood Bowl team just finished.


Then I went on to finish 2 more leaders for the Canadians as well. Probably not the right models or theatres for them, but they work all the same. Though I do have to say that the one on the right looks more Russian than anything else.. especially in these colors.. But it is ok for a gaming purposes :D


But considering all the changes to Bolt Action with Version 2, having more Lieutenants is never a bad thing! So they will get a lot of use I am sure!

Easy section of 14 models here and 70 pts in total! Slow progress atm, but much more bigger batches to come very soon!

Noice! Those Sikhs look terrific Kyle. I particularly like the grey whiskered fellas - they look like they've seen some campaigning and are ready to tune someone up. I believe the two leaders are from Artizan Designs. Great job on these models, especially the dashing 'stache on the chap on the right - a sort of Omar Sharif Canadian 'Russian' thing goin' on there. :)

Great work Kyle!

  5. Lovely Sikhs and the officers look great as well Kyle. You could probably use the chap in the cap as a lieutenant for the Sikhs at a push :)

  12. Always a treat to see Sikhs in either world war, and the officers are especially well done. Nothing wrong with the uniforms. The one with the moustache reminds me of the young Strome Galloway who was a bit of a hero in my old unit, The Royal Canadian Regt. see http://www.heraldry.ca/misc/bios/bio_galloway.htm
