From DaveD: Volksgrenadiers (53 points)

This weeks post sees the first of my Volksgrenadiers being added to the table . These have greatcoats , smocks etc on. They also have a lot of automatic weapons and Panzaerfausts to make up for their limited numbers . 

I picked up metal Battlefront stuff over the last few years and am working my way through the pile finding nice bits to do, I have a least 3 more units like this to add . These were nice to paint which is a bonus.





I also found a house ruin diorama base with a few command figures and map table etc so that has been done too 



25 figures = 75 points . 

The bases are done using my own home made winter tufts and AK Snow .


I have a few other non winter things on the table but they will be along in February some time . 

TeemuL: Back to the harsh reality and wintery projects with Dave! Excellent minis to fill your great winter board. I have found Battlefront minis quite nice to paint, too, even though I've been focusing on the summer of 1944 and Bagration campaign. And I guess Battlefront minis are 15mm and worth 2 points a piece, so you get only 50 from this post. Please correct me, if I'm wrong. In fact the Spreadsheet doen't know any infantry worth 3 points. :) But I'll give you a few extra points for the dioramic base of the commanders. Yes, it is not terrain, it is a vignette or a small diorama and definitely worth of some bonus points. :)

  2. Well done Dave. The Volksgrenadiers were some of the best, most characterful little sculpts that Battlefront did in their late WW2 lineup, and you have done them well here. Great job.

  3. Great stuff Dave -- between the scuplts and your brushwork these have a suitable cold, tired and war weary look
