From BenitoM: WW2 Canadian Rifle Team (30 points)

Trying now to sprint and to achieve a decent scoring relative to my Challenge target, I spent the weekend painting the last of the three rifle teams of my WW2 Canadian infantry unit  for Chain of Command.


The core of the force is now finished and the only reamining models are the different NCOs (junior leaders) commanding each squad and the Platoon officers (or Senior leaders). 

 




I have some additional supports planned but are not too critical to deploy a game. This will happen as soon as the COVID rates fall to some safer levels (Madrid's current incidence ration is 390 but worth mentioning is plummeting from a 3,400 peak in mid-January) and I can restart attending our club on weekends (I stopped visiting the club in mid-November).

 




As most of the other minis in my force, these are part of the Warlord's multipose British and Canadian Infantry box. Excellent sculpting (nothing to do with the earlier plastic releases) and enough variation of equipment and parts to let you build literally hundreds of individualised models.

With this entry I will add 30 points to this year's Challenge personal score: 

6 x 28mm models @5 points each = 30 points


Planning now next moves which will involved shifting to a complete different period and do some additional exploring in the Challenge Quadrant, unearthing 



Those riflemen look fantastic, Benito. You seem to have left your last sentence unfinished, though - unearthing what?

Regardless, I'm sure we're all looking forward to your next project(s).
