From GeoffT: Germans in triplicate (235 points)

 Hello Challengers,

In this post I have batch painted a big pile of Germans.  They are from three eras, there is some WWI trench raiders and special weapons, some WWII Germans on bikes, and some undead Germans, one vampire and three zombies.  The WWI figs are from great war miniatures, and very nice miniatures they are indeed.   The other stuff is second hand and I do not know the providence.  The bikes seemed a bargain until I discovered they had been assembled incorrectly, and also assembled with two part epoxy resin.  Therefore they took some effort in chipping away the glue and reassembling.  Unfortunately one sidecar was not repairable.





In total there are:

15 x 28 mm full figures on foot = 75 points

10 x full figures riding the bikes = 50 points

4 x half figures in side cars = 10 points

5 x 28mm vehicles = 100 points.

Total is 235 points.  Seems like a lot, hopefully have calculated to correct protocol.

Kind Regards

Geoff.

From Millsy:

These are excellent work Geoff. The uniform colour has so much depth and the skins tones, especially on the vampire, are spot on. Great War make some amazing sculpts and you've certainly done them justice.

The motorcycle and sidecar combos are my favourite and immediately made me think of Where Eagles Dare. Is there a reason you have five? Sounds like there were a bargain, at least in theory, but wondered if you had a specific scenario in mind.

Cheers,
Millsy

  5. Nice work, Geoff. All three groups look great. I think the vampire is from Warlord Games, I seem to recall them doing a vampire count years ago.

  7. Good job on this varied lot, Geoff! I think bikes have been counted as cavalry in the past instead of vehicles, that would bring the point total down a bit?

  10. Very nice work Geoff! I especially like the WW1 Sturmtruppen. Lovely miniatures.
    The motorbike combos are Wargames Foundry btw. sculpted back in the day by the Perry brothers

  11. Argh. Having to rebuild the sidecars sounds like a nightmare. Love the final result, particularly the reflections on their goggles.
