Since I appear to have gained an SS force, mostly for Chain of Command but perfectly usable in Bolt Action, figured I'd start a thread about them.
As yet the officer in charge is an unknown hero, have a Lt to lead the basic platoon plus a Captain in overall charge... This as there is enough of the swines for two platoons with the support spread out.
Indeed just totalled the value of the stuff, and if you ignore the force selector its about 2k3... with only one vehicle in the mix.. ouch.
Plan is a nice winter theme, bases will be a mix of snow and mud and hopefully a decent paint job, hopefully..
Force build up is intended to be reasonably historical so they have the MG42 even though its not overly worth the points in Bolt Action, better than other factions LMG though. Squads are at the minimum size, basically bought and run as fire teams, lots of fire teams, backed by a single slightly larger formation with assault rifles, the odd panzerfaust lurking then a mix of support stuff but most of it infantry based. Figured games with stuff dug in get dull, so hopefully this lot all being vets and pretty much all being stuff that moves should help dig them out.
Suitable names will be developed as they earn them.
Anyway, current status:
Panzer IVH in progress, a WiP pic is in the WiP thread
about 30 models assembled and based, waiting primer and the arrival of a paint guide book, aimed at 1:35 scale models so will see what of it I can use, hopefully these dastardly swines will look decent when done.
Rest is in blisters still, will get the first batch done which should be a small usable force on its own, small but far from cheap, has to be circa 1k just the stuff above..
There is also a somewhat smaller American force being put together.. found some nice greatcoat models though sadly not a full range of them, may have to try my hand at a few conversions.
