West German Defence Unit

After this weekend's cleaning up project, I decided to get back to painting. First thing's first, I needed to finish up my West Germans.
I think that this unit of 3 platoons is more of just a defence unit, and it might not see too too much action, but the war effort is needed, so here they are!

In order, it goes the anti-tank support platoon, the ground anti-air platoon and then the light machine gun support platoon.

The rifleman on the left has a U.S. style helmet cover, and the anti-tank weapon firer (hey... he looks familiar) has a regular West-German style helmet cover.

Remember ol' Private Rosenberg (on the left) ? Ah yes, he's our favourite Jewish army man, oh, the chutzpah he had to do service in the Norwegian Army!! He's seen quite a bit of battle. Anyway, this is the ground anti-air platoon.

The support light machine gun platoon. Just your Average Joe anti-infantry platoon.

That's all for now. I might actually be getting the C/O set to accommodate this set, making it a company (finally).
Stay tuned!

West German Air/Ground Defence Platoon

Using the last West German figures I have, I've completed painting a West German Air/Ground Defence platoon for Standoff: Cold War. (By the way, if anybody wants the rules, I'd be happy to e-mail you regarding the new rules of the game).

Here they are in their glory!

The new anti-tank weapon firer.

Even Edgar likes them!

Since the coming attack on Brody's forces will be huge, I will probably be deploying these guys to the field as soon as possible. Stay tuned!

West German test miniatures

I started figuring out the painting scheme for the West German Army, which is a project I intend to carry out soon. (Also the British Army, Elhiem just released a BAOR set, so I'll definitely be picking those up when I get the extra coin).
I used an extra Elhiem figure, which I was intending to use for the Norwegians, but since I've got a company of them, I'll start working on the West Germans.

An anti-aircraft missile firer. I don't really know what shade of grey I used for the uniform, I just took a little bottle of grey paint, spread that out and decided that it looked good.

I have made the decision to cover my table with one colour of static grass, buying grass mats for it after that. Oh, and I've decided that I'll be sticking with the 20mm Cold War thing!

Elhiem West German Support Group

In addition to the riflemen, I also got a support group. However, because I feel nice, I'm going to upload some pictures of some Elhiem Pakistanis, which I will be using for West German riflemen.

Here they are!

Holding the MG3.

A Panzerfaust, maybe?

Now onto the Pakistanis. I chose them to be with the West Germans due to their equipment similarities. I can already see them kicking Commie butt in the field!

That's all for now. Future sets to come soon...

Elhiem West Germans

Here are some Elhiem West German Riflemen that I got a little while ago. Enjoy!

The 3 West German riflemen, 1 platoon and 1 left over.
