From DaveD - Fallschirmjäger Battlegroup (292 points)

 Hi,

Its been a while (still having issues with commenting on the blog ) - I have been busy with work and with a complicated paint job. I completed my 15mm WW2 late war Fallschirmajer battlegroup .

Oh I so enjoyed doing all that complicated camo schemes. 







3 infantry platoons - 24 stands

Coy Hq - 2 stands

1 HMG platton 

3 ATG stands

4 x 80mm mortar (some done before the challenge - based together with this lot

3 x 120mm (done before the challenge as above)

3 x Opel Blitz

2 Hetzer Tank Destroyers

So a total of :-

120 - Figures = 240

3 AT Guns = 12 points

5 vehicles = 40 points 

Total 292 pts


Right on with some bigger toys next to take me to target 


Another points bomb! This has been a "boom" of a day for me to be minioning.

Despite the hate, you've done a grand job on the camo. I'll bet you're happy to be finished with it.

    They look great Dave. I just flat out don’t do camo. I’ve always liked the Hetzer.

    Lovely work Dave. I really like the desaturated look you went with on the vehicles' camo.

      It was the result of a varnish failure ironically. I doubt I can recreate! But happy to have got there

    Fabulous work Dave! Your pains in painting the camo have paid off a thousand times I'd say.

    Great Job! I've always shied away from FJ units, but you fcan't avoid them in Normandy (or Italy). Do you plan to do this Normandy thing at a 1:1 ratio? ;O)
