![]() ![]() For now, the buck stops here (mostly cause I've depleted the funds I gained from selling plastic kits).Join me as I sit down with former WWE star, and former Progress Wrestling World & Atlas Champion, BIG DAMO. So that is another slot filled in.ĭepending on my painting speeds extra support options might be purchased at the Crisis show, but that is a big if. JP has mentioned he can supply me with a Russian greatcoated AT rifleman that should be converted to a German one for free. With the new additions I can also field 2 80mm mortars, a always handy weapon in Battlegroup (and real life). Also, I've now filled the third MG team slot. I can now choose to spread the SMG's one per squad (as per the real TOE) and save some for the HQ options. With the new additions this is now fully complete troop wise. God I love the hunt for wallet friendly armies. Almost 90 troops in under a week, all BTD, all Early War, for just over a 100 euros. Ok, a second hand lot of 20 riflemen from Portugal for 20 euros, a BTD order of SMG's, officers and a HMG at 40% off for 35 euros and another second hand lot from the UK of 38 troops including 2 mortars for 40 euros today. You won't see anything of it on the figs but it is nice to have some history. Paint - I should have all the vallejo I need on hand, but better check in advance to see nothing has dried up during my 2 year hiatus.īackground? - I've selected the 44th Infanterie Division to base these guys on as they fought from Poland to France to their demise at Stalingrad. Black trim.īase markers - same style as my 20mm so colour coded. Though.2 cent euro pieces are a cheaper option. I've got a bag of 25mm round plywood bases of that thickness, and plenty of plasticcard for MG teams etc. We'll see!īasing? I don't like GW bases, I want mine to be as small as possible, so 2mm preferable. On second thought, it could be a nice army to hold on to for Pulp purposes. I do feel they will be fun to paint though, not at all that different then 20mm, so I'm hoping to do at least 5 figures a week and get the Infantry core done in 2 months time. Of course, if we try Battlegroup a few times and he does not like it I'll just finish off the lot and sell it as a Battlegroup Starter army instead, cause I'm finding 28mm to be way more expensive then 20mm is. ![]() Bolt Action do a nice set at 2 Pounds a sheet and I'm not going to paint details like that. I am contemplating spending some of my own money on 28mm decals for the rank signs and helmet decals. So when it all arrives I have 34 men to paint for starters plus a HMG team and a medic as a buffer/teaser untill I need to source more second hand or cheap models for the mortar, the AT rifle, the AT gun and the IG gun options and then have a look at the command options It turns out it is a few euros over budget, but fills out everything but 1 LMG team. ![]() BTD are having a 40% sale off this weekend only so I asked if I could get the following from him: 1 pack of officers, 1 HMG team, 1 medical team, 1 pack of LMG's and 2 packs of SMG's. ![]() My benefactor has already paid me for the first 20 infantry that are all rifle armed, so that takes care of 15 men of the Infantry squads, 3 men of the MG teams and 2 men of the Command squad. Medium Mortar team - 3 men with 80mm mortarĪnti Tank Gun - 28mm PzB41 gun with 3 crew (upgrade to 37mm PaK36) Light Mortar team - 2 men and a 50mm mortarĪnti Tank Rifle team - 2 men with AT rifle I think I can do the same in 28mm.īattlegroup Barbarossa German Infantry Division Battlegroup, list starts at page 65.Ĭonsists of 1 Platoon Command, 3 Infantry Squads, 3 MG Teams and up to 4 Support Options The backbone of each of my armies is a Infantry Platoon and I just tack the rest to it at a later date.
