As Artizan don't do a late war guy carrying a MG-34 I did a little conversion on a former MG-42 shooter giving him the barrel of a plastics MG-34 from Warlord Games. Still need some guys with Gewehr 43...unfortunately There aren't any available from Artizan.
Next for the Germans will be a PaK40, a heavy MG-42 and a mortar team.

Last sunday Franz and I visited Christopher aka Axebreaker to have another great afternoon of gaming and chatting. We played a game of SAGA fielding my Late Romans against Christophers stunning Vikings.
For my Late Romans I used the Anglo-Danish battleboard as I've forgotten to take my other battleboards with me, though I normally use the Anglo-Saxon board. Christopher and Franz together played the Vikings using the Viking board (what a surprise^^). Unfortunately I can't totally recall the progress of the game. So I hope you 'll be content with some photos I shot.
We played using the Clash of Warlords scenario. At the end it was a crashing defeat for my romans as Christophers Berserkers killed my Warlord in the 5th round.
Mir gefällt dein Stil. Hast ein gutes Gefühl für die Farben, würde mir einmal Spaß machen gegen deine Modell zu spielen!
ReplyDeleteYour new operation squad figures look great! The SAGA game was of course very enjoyable and I'm looking forward to our next game!:-)
ReplyDeleteYour Romans looked wonderful as well!
Christopher
Great looking germans, love the game table you got and nice looking romans and vikings

ReplyDeleteWith a new interest in WW2 round here, your OS figures are of great inspiration. Keep 'em coming! (And I won't mind battle reports as well…*hinthint*)

I like 'em but it's hard to really fix 'em so that they won't rub off.
Deletewow, these are very nice german army miniatures. if this would be my decade of interest, i would also buy warlord-miniatures, and perhaps some artizans.
ReplyDeletethe pics of the dark agebattle looks awesome too.
Beautiful work. That MG34 conversion turned out very nice - well done.(for some reason I always liked the look of the early perforated barrel).
ReplyDeleteAusgezeichnicht! Really great painting. Highly inspirational.
ReplyDeleteInspired painting! I'll be following along with your painting adventures.
ReplyDeleteSuperb. Fantastische Arbeit!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking figures all around! Those Viking archers are simply outstanding. Does Christopher have a blog as well?

Thanks! Any way I could get some bigger versions of those pics? My email is on my Blogger profile.
DeleteSorry. I've already resized 'em all. The biggest version I have isn't bigger as when you click on the picture here.
DeleteAnyway we had a Dux Britanniarum Game yesterday and I'll send you the pics before resizing.
Looks fantastic! Great period too ;)
