From BenitoV: More Cannuck Infantry (30 points)

Taking a break from my trips exploring the Challenge XII Quadrant, today I present  a few additions to my WW2 Canadian infantry project for Chain of Command.

First is a PIAT team,  adding to the two other finished teams  (you never have enough PIATs in a British/Commonwealth army!) This time however, at least these guys are seeing some action, unlike the previous two teams that were either resting or leisurely walking towards the front respectively.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The second part of this post is Bren Gun Team. These teams are made of 3 crew, a gunner and two  loaders. As with the PIAT team, these guys are seeing some action, patiently waiting the opportunity to knock down some evil nazis crossing their path.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The third and final part of the post is another Bren Gun team. This time the poses are slightly more heoric, firing from the hip and likely swearing at the same time to the enemy in front.

 

The models are 28mm and as in the previous posts, a mix of metal Empress Late War British (the four prone figures) and Warlord from the plastic multipose British and Canadian Infantry box.

If my maths are right this post is worth 30 points (no bonus add-ons this time):

• 4 models @5 points = 20 points
• 4 prone models @2,5 points = 10 points 
• Total = 30 points
  

I also  have already completed a significant part of the core unit of the army lists. The Chain of Command British/Commonwealth platoon includes:

1 x HQ Section: 2 Senior leaders (pending), PIAT team (done) and 2-inch mortar team (done)

3 x infantry sections each led by a junior leader (pending), a rifle team (pending all theree) and a Bren gun team (done all three)

Additionally I have completed a few supports: 1 Vickers HMG team and a couple  reinforcing PIAT teams.

Next in my painting plan is to attack the rifle teams, then the leaders and finally some additional supports.
