Rush for Berlin 11: Assault rifles & Panzerfäuste

This week I'm a bit proud on myself as I finally managed to get my ass back on the painting table.
As a result I got some new men for my Bolt Action late war Germans ready for battle.



As for the rules I now have enough assult rifles waving madmen for  a fully equipped squad of Volksgrenadiere. 5 men including the NCO are carrying the StG44 while one carries the MG42 and the remaining 4 are wielding the MP40 and a panzerfaust each.









The only BAM figure in my army.


 In my oppinion the Warlord separate weapons are a perfect fit for the Artizan figures. Personally I like painting the Artizan miniatures a lot more but the weapons on the newer ones are much to tiny for my taste. I would have preferred if he had stuck to the much too bulky cartoonish ones.
I think I finally found my way in doing the splinter camo. With this in mind I'd wish I had done the whole stuff in splinter.

Hope you like 'em and have a nice weekend!

    Great looking minis. The Stg44s look a little too big but they are well painted. They look like the fire the 8mm Mauser round rather than the 8mm Kurtz round.

    Wonderful painting and very inspirational. Having a go at painting splinter camo myself at the moment and if they turn out half as good as yours I will be a happy man.

    Splittertarn, love-hate of any WW2 wargamer I reckon. Your rendition looks convincing to a layman like me, well done!
    As you've mentioned Bolt Action – any chance to convert you to Chain of Command by TooFatLardies? ;-)

    Cheers, SG

    Very nice work indeed Nick! The splinter camo turned out excellent! Perhaps my US Airborne will get chance to challenge them!>:-)

    Fabulous work. I too prefer the Artizan castings - they have a great bulk about them and take paint very nicely.
