From BruceR - Shift to WW2 28mm BEF (40 points)

What’s great about AHPC? Getting stuff done. I purchased these last year at AdeptiCon as I enjoy playing WW2 games with early war as a favorite. Had done up a squad and blocked in another and was drawn away a few months ago. So why not get after them. These are Crusader miniatures. Thick in body and gun barrels. This makes them easy to paint and sturdy for the table top. The faces are not the greatest but helmets cover most of these. 

Here are support options. Leader, AT rifle, crew, and light mortar done in an effort to allow a game of Chain of Command game in the future. 

I used a rattle can base coat Vallejo light brown, blocked in flesh, light green for webbing, dark brown for wood items and black foot wear.  I next wash them and highlight all with the same color mixed with Iraqi sand.  Some static grass and tufts.  Done  

I was able to get another 17 90% done while ranch sitting for my son. Few hours a day feeding the herd and the rest cooped up as minus 17 does not lend itself to the great outdoors. So paint. No static grass and tufts at hand so will wait to submit them next week. 

I hope everybody is staying safe with the winter trials we are experiencing and getting paint on figures. 

Points

8 28mm @5 pts per     = 40 pts. 

Thanks for looking, Bruce.

Great work here once more Bruce. You are right - getting stuff done is, indeed, one of the great past of the AHPC! Your workman-like approach has paid dividends on these lovely sculpts. I'm with you on the Crusader sculpts - whatever might be lacking on the faces, the sturdy bodies - and gun barrels - more than make up for it. 

Your early-war BEF look great - that's another 40 points for you!
