10mm WW2 European forces French command stand.

French command stand, with attached anti-tank rifle, as no one else needs them!


Bone jaw, my nome is...


'Allo! 'Allo!


The red top on their kepis is there, honest!


Two higher officers, an RTO, a staff car and an anti-tank rifle


The whole French force*.

 
Finishing off the French starter set https://www.pendraken.co.uk/nbkc-fr-nfrench-starter-army-4278-p.asp
Just need a company commander stand now (and many other things).

Knew there was a stand of French infantry missing, so here it is based up.







Infantry


Get them lads!






Anti-tank guns, mortars and machineguns




Added suport is always good!


Badly sited mortars?


Truck and Panhard armoured car




Which way are we going?


Doesn't matter, the armoured car has a reverse driver!
 
Pendraken GRV136 Panzer IIC done and added to my Western European theatre Germans - what a model


Can see where the idea for the Dalek came from


Trundle trundle


It looks soooo cool, thank you Leon


Love the hatch details


Dakka


Now some French
SOMUA S35s


Looking mean


Really impressive figures, must not put off painting these for so long


Back view


Quite a tank


Here they come


Renault R35s


Not sure a one man turret was the best plan


Here we go


Back view


Allez


Waiting for trouble


Mean and moody, might risk the Panhard next.


French infantry


Ready...


Good news, they're on home soil


Few more squads to go after this


Come up quite well


Moving on


Hold the line, they'll never get through here!
 
Panzer IVd

Drat, did not notice the flock!





And motorcyclists!






 
 
Two more Panzer IIIE


Menicingly on the prowl


Maybe we will go this way


And we HAD to have some recon!




Which way round does it go?


Here we go here we go

For the European theatre, my first two Panzer IIIE are done, and the Balken Cross is tiny and on. They will do for 1940 theatres nicely. Will add allied forces to face these soon.



Clank clank


Trundle trundle...


Rear end


Just as an experiment, the German camo never shows up on black and white photos of the time, so just to try it out..

Yup, it works.

Frostgrave Warband; an orc!

An orc, been sitting in the pile of shame for a while. He's on a 30x30mm base Probably end up with my gobbos   Four more skeletons, a gift from my lovely neighbour Brian.

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain. I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them   Claudia the animal handler, Bowie and Marcella the Monster Hunter from Bad Squiddo Back view Side on     Mimic from Bad Squiddo Gribbly Sushi? Catch of the day!   Another Grenadier 1984 from Brian's collection - possible Flesh Golem? Pants! Quick job, but fun   TT Combat Halfling adventuers, a barbarian, a fighter, a ranger (with squirrel), a mage, and a bard (with bagpipes) Rough bunch Distancing themselves from the Bard!

Soldiers of Napoleon - French Imperial Guard vs Austrians - bad day to be a hussar.

Whilst down in Wiltshire for the Devizes comp, Nigel very kindly gifted me his 10mm Imperial Guard division from FOGN (Field of Glory Napoleonics), and although I had rebased the cavalry and generals (including painting some), the guard themselves were not finished. I scrabbled together a 900 Soldiers of Napoleon list (which turns out to be illegal, read the rules Will), and fielded it Vs Mark's undefeated Austrians. My army, including reserves, was twelve units and Mark could basically do that in two brigades! My list : Two brigades of two five Old Guard infantry, with two twelve pounders and full cassions. Guards Heavy cavalry brigade. Five Grenadiers a Chevel. Five Guards Dragoons. Three batteries of 8lber guns. Guards light cavalry brigade. Four Guards lancers, four Guards Chasseurs a Chevel. Three batteries of three 8lber guns. Mark had: An Avent Guard brigade with hussars, artillery, jagers and two infantry units, two dragoons with horse artillery as his cavalry brigade,An in...
