This weeks entry is a mixture of periods, WW1 and the first Balkan War 1912, so hopefully picking up my second squirrel.
Apologies in advance for the photography, colouring and quality, and for how rough the figures look in the close up shots :)
Most of these figures have been picked up second hand, reducing other gamers lead mountains, without reducing my own. The MG and firer are new figures added especially for Dunsterforce to complement the already published mobile MG mounted Model T fords.
The first completed units are five units of Turkish/Ottoman infantry for the Balkan Wars. They are in the blue uniform of the reserve 'Redif' regiments. Mostly with the red fez, but a few with the later khaki one for variety.
The figures are mainly minifigs with a few other odd unknown makes, and are made up of Turks and Egyptian figures.
Next up is a unit of Serbian infantry for the Balkan wars. Just the one unit that I picked up at a show with a couple of generic (probably RCW) officers added in. The chap selling them wasn't sure what they were. It is possible they are actually some of ranger/pioneer infantry from a much earlier period.
I have no Serbian infantry for the Period yet, so these are seriously outnumbered.
Lastly we have four MG units for Dunsterforce in WW1. Another mishmash of figures, mainly Peter Pig and minifigs. I seem to remember it being half points for a sitting down figures, but I have ignored that as I thought the MG would balance it out. Feel free to alter if needed :)
Points
90 Ottoman infantry @ 2pts = 180pts
18 Serbian infantry @ 2pts = 36 pts
50 WW1 British @2pts = 100 pts
Total pts = 316pts
From DaveD. Adam is off with a kaboom this morning . That’s a whole load of figures , which is what we like to see . Excellent effort. Reanimating other gamers lead piles is I guess all -art of our glorious hobby , one man’s lead mountain turned into another’s armies l just the job. I will top you up for the multiple flags - that 321.pts to you tally .
Thanks Dave. I'm enjoying getting bits done for the challenge. I just found another tray of Turks undercoated white. The above where indercoated ready to paint khaki. I now remember I was going to paint some khaki and some blue. Oops!
ReplyDeleteGreat effort, like those Adam
