Hi all,

There seems to be a bit of WW2 interest on these boards, so i thought it would be good to start an armies thread, post some pics of your WW2 armies! Heres mine so far.













Feel free to add pics of your own collections, its always inspiring to see other peoples stuff!

Steve.

Very, very, very nicely done !!! 8th Army, SS, etc. ... I don't remember reading about those in the 40K fluff !?!

Also posted in my thread but here's my 6mm Panzer div again;

I'll add pictures of Commonwealth airbourne, Irish guards, and russian forces when I get a chance to take complete force pictures

Very nice yorkie. have you played any games with these? How do the rules play?

Blind-

Hi,

ive played many games of FOW with these armies, but recently we have switched to using Blitzkrieg commander II. The rules are very similar (and based on) warmaster, so its very command driven, which suits us very well as it is a very tactical game, but also models the fog of war well, with orders not getting through and sometimes whole units sat doing nothing when you really need them.

It is a frustrating but really good game, id recommend trying it.

Steve.

I've had this army for a while now but only really played it a few times so far. Got a bunch of armour and arty still just undercoated though. Unfortunately I haven't got an army shot just a bunch of platoon shots I put a few little conversions into them coz I got so bored of painting the same damn miniatures all the time!

Dobbsy your base's are stunning. i see static grass on them but what are the other plants, are they silfur tufts?

Blind-

PS your paint is awesome too. I love the germans creeping up on the carentan sign.

Thanks Blind,
yeah they're Silflor tufts and Woodland Scenics foliage clumps.

Beautiful minis all round, sometimes when I see those I wish I'd started in 15mm but then I think of the numbers, lots and lots and lots

here is the Commonwealth Army (more pics in my thread)
