WW2

In this section I will show some of my WW2 projects. As soon as an “army” is completed or big enough to need their own subsection, I will put it into a seperate section (like the DAK or the late war Germans).
 

Tannhäuser - Yula

“It is now 1949 and the Great War has never ended. Over the last 35 years, neither the Union nor the Reich has succeeded in tipping the precarious balance of power far enough to claim victory. But darker allies are being awoken and ancient rules of warfare, long forgotten, are about to be brought onto the battlefield. In the heart of Central Europe, secular crypts, hiding the Obscura Cardinal Cornerstones, have just been discovered.“

That is the intro for Tannhäuser a very nice and beautifully presented board game. The characters are pre-painted. The shown mini is Yula.

“Yula Korlïtz – At the age of 19, Yula Korlïtz and her twin sister Anna orchestrated and perpetrated a successful assault on the British Museum during the massive London bombardment of 1941. Several esoteric artifacts of great value were secured for the Reich during the raid and the Korlïtz sisters singled out for special assignments. Unfortunately, during Anna's next assignment she accompanied an exploratory mission into the Dead Lands. The entire expedition was lost.
Yula, on the other hand, was assigned to special training and dispatched on dangerous missions behind enemy lines, during the operation of which she dispatched numerous enemy soldiers in close-quarters combat. She remains one of the Kaiser's most capable and deadly agents.”

Nachtjaeger

Artizans Pulp style Thrilling Tales Nachtjaeger. I wanted a more “realistic” look for them. So I decided to use historic German Fallschirmjaeger colours. The smock is painted in splinter camo, the armour in Luftwaffe Grau.

Project X Power Armour Trooper

A German Power Armour Soldat by North Stars Project X line. The mini is 1/48 scale, but fits IMO very well to 28 mm minis.

The second mini is a conversion of another Project X German Power Armour Soldat, this time with a rocket pack. The pack is scratch build from some 1/48 plastic kit bombs, some GW flamer parts and some Plasticard.

The third black Officer is also from the Project X range. “Upgraded” with a Darkson design head, GW Space Marine arms and a Bolt Action Miniatures MG 42.

Italians

The most famous fascist militia in Italy was the Blackshirts, officially known as Milizia Volontaria per la Sicurezza Nazionale (MVSN). The main function of the Blackshirts were the defence of the fascist regime but it was also used for various police duties. It also raised Blackshirt battalions (that were assigned for regular army divisions), Blackshirt Divisions (made up of only Blackshirt troops), handled post-military training and supplied personnel to various other military tasks, such as air-defence.
I decided to paint my Italians as part of the MVSN 11th Blackshirt Legion that was involved in the Italian Invasion of British Somaliland 1940.

Americans

Again some miniatures from Mike Owens fantastic WW2 range. These time the Americans. 3 minis are from his SWW301 U.S. Command pack. The Private is from one of the Riflemen packs.

Hellboy

Good old Hellboy from the Monolith range. The Samaritan is a minor conversion (just an old Necromunda Stub Gun).

Good old “Hellbaby”  re-paint from the Horrorclix range. The Artizan minis below are for scale comparison.

US Infantry painted by Tom Weiß

Küchenschabe Teams - Gear Krieg

Full background here. The models are from GZGs 15mm SF line, while the controller is a Zombie Controller from Westwinds SotR range.

Mad Scientist - Artizan

Just a nice weird war model with a simple conversion. The Scientist is from Artizan, the Retro SF raygun is from Hydra Miniatures Galacteers range.
