Time for another squad for my Slovaks; Paratroopers!
A veteran unit in the current army list but one without a great war record having only seen action once in the war during the uprising in late 1944. I used German Fallschirmjagers as the Slovak army purchased all the gear for their paras from Germany, hence the helmets rather than the standard ones off the regular infantry etc.
A staple of most Bolt Action armies, I've picked up an Italian medium howitzer (A Skoda one!) for my forces:
Like my other teams i wanted them all one one base and will just put a dice to show any casualties that occur in the crew.
A few of us at the club have decided to run a Gorkamorka campaign... some of us played it first time round but some of them weren't born when it was out before haha!
I've gone with Muties, I've used them before years ago but wanted to give them a run out again as no one else had picked an Oddmob at the time.
I used the Helamites from Necromunda, lovely models but I've never had a reason to pick them up as i don't play the game. They are a fair bit larger than the old Muties but as everyone is using more modern models or 3d prints they now fit right in hehe. I have another pair coming as i want some options for gang expansion down the line too!
I have finished my 3rd Rifle Section today to complete all the models i have so far:
Further reinforcements are on route; a medium howitzer and a box of Fallschirmjager to paint up as Slovak Paras to boost me to six infantry squads.
Another squad of the basic infantry guys completed today:
One more squad of these then its specialist troops, more teams and a couple more tanks!
These have sat half finished for over a week but finally got them done today!
I really like how they have turned out, and work has begun on the next squad. I went with ten models and an LMG hoping that Warlord make them a viable option this time round haha.
