From JasperO - Winter Americans (30 points)

When the Chambers of Challenge were first revealed, I really tried to mentally go through them (or at least the ones I thought I was likely to get to!) and figure out what could fit where. It's a simple fact that not everything I wanted to paint would fit. I'll just have to work harder to reach my puny goals.


So here's part of a cold-weather-ready section of American infantry for WW2. They're wonderful Artizan Designs figures. Quite different from the Empress engineers I finished last week, but very satisfying to paint. For the rest of the squad, I plan to try a browner hue to the OD overcoats. We'll see if I can manage that.


Points-wise, I think this is very straightforward with six 28mm figures for 30 points. When I complete the section, I'll give myself a pat on the back and will be able to field a Chain of Command platoon in varying weather (or just have an extra section handy as a support choice).

  4. They look excellent Jasper. Ready to push the Germans out of the Hürtgenwald or smash through the Westwall.

  5. Jasper very nice. I’m a huge fan of Artizan. Some do not like the bulk, which is what I think I enjoy. I’ve for the same figures some done some not.

    Well done
