Painted A Call to Arms WWII British Infantry

It's been a pretty lazy Cold War month so far, putzing around the house and painting. I have, however got those 1950's British Infantry painted up. Here they are, in all of their glory. 

Section A of my 1 Platoon is done and ready to fight.

Everyone remembers that Grenadier I showed you guys.

I turned the kneeling rifleman into a medic, even though medics are non-combatants. Heck, I gave him a gun anyway.

The standing EM-2 rifleman.

Charge!!!!

I painted the radio holder and I designated him a Colonel.

Another charger.

The Signalman which I had last in the previous post I did.

And finally the very gory wounded rifleman *queues the song "Taps"*

Twas the night before Cold War month

The long-awaited A Call to Arms WWII British Infantry came today. I should have the first miniatures up by tomorrow. 

Here's a full overview of all of the poses (though not all of the miniatures) in the set. I've been watching a lot of documentaries lately (hence the reason for Century of War tin behind the miniatures here)

Here's a poor casualty. Looks like I might be painting some blood on this one, unfortunately.

Here's a charger with an SLR. They didn't use these in WWII (thus the misconception of the 'WWII British Infantry' title), which sort of makes these Post-Korea British infantry.

Though it may not be perfectly visible in this photo, the charger in this photo is armed with an EM-2. The EM-2 was never sent to war with the British Army, but it was briefly adopted in the 1951-1953 range. I take it that this set was possibly designed for that era.

A kneeling EM-2 rifleman.

Here's a little more weapon-visible photo of an EM-2 rifleman.

A Grenadier.

Here's a miniature that I haven't quite identified. He's holding a radio, and pointing at something.

Last but not least, a lonely signalman. As I've said, I plan to start painting these tomorrow.

A furture set...

I plan to be ordering these soon for Cold War month (September, yes I know, it's not yet here, but it will be soon, and this set will probably be ready by then). I took a look at the set on Plastic Soldier Review.com, and it looks to be the British Army in the late-50's, just the period that I like. I might have these in a few weeks, hopefully. Tune in then and hopefully I'll have them prepped and ready for painting. Cheers!
