10mm WW2 European forces more French command and a German commander

French HQ and motorbikes


Inspired by the Flames Of War 3rd Edition General de Gaulle which had a motorcycle sidecar combination to add interest to his base


And a BADLY out of focus Panxer I command tank for the Germans


Germans needed a command base

 
Second French command stand for BKC


Calling all the heroes?


Had fun with the basing


Second Panzer II, loe this model.


Got to get some command teams at some point


Hot exhaust


Brrrmmm...


Oh, and esxtra hit markers!
 
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...

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.

Warhammer Old World - Goblins vs Empire, Batlle of The Hilly Hill

"Oi, where's the rest of the army?" Stumpy Jason turned round to the musician Thumpy Jason. "We's only playing 1000 points!" "Oh right. But why are there more Empire 'ooomans than us then?" the Goblin Wolfrider capatin pondered. Mort and I met up for a game of Warhammer Old World. I chose my Goblins, with only 1000 points. This led to me taking a unit of spears, with the army standard, a unit of archers, a spear chucker and some wolf riders. A level 1 mage, my general on a giant squig and Stumpy Jason rounded out my selection. I was tooled up with magic standards and characters, so half my points were tied up in characters. Mort had two units of mounted pistolliers, a spear unit, two detachments , one of handgunners, one of halbardiers, and a small unit of knights. Two characters were embedded in his spears and one pistolliers, and a mage strode forwards with the halbardiers. My wolves and general went left, archers, spears, bolt chucker and...

Mortal Gods - Three Sided scrap - finding the treasure.

Typhon woke up, his head was banging, and there would definitely be a new scar on hi sarm... "Nice to see you can take a knock too!" Leandros looked over at the archer. Polykratos sat on a nearby boulder, helmet and shield at his feet, sword bloodied, he was smiling at his two fellow fighters. "Nice to see you two sleepy heads. By the way, we won! Spartans and Etruscans all sent packing, treasures secrured!" Dave, David and I met up for a game of Mortal Gods. Mark was meant to be joining us, but he had to call off. This is only a quick report, as we were haing too much of a laugh! Six objecties were scattered across the field, which you have to find and hold until the end of turn 5. One would go live on a roll of '6', if an action was expended on it. The others then are empty. Three sides means two corners and an edge. 450 points each. I was nearest, Dave the other corned, David the opposite edge.My standard warband took to the field, with their eyes firmly...
