I have now painted up a small squad of Warlord Games figures. These figures are labelled mid-late war by Warlord Games but as long as you ensure they have the right weapons for the period they can easily fit it. At the time of the invasion of Crete new uniforms were starting to come through to the troops on the ground, specifically camouflage tops and helmet covers. There are lots of pictures of Germans on Crete wearing mixed uniform. Please note I have not confused the later pictures of occupation troops wearing camouflage which is a common mistake, often made.
I must admit of the all the figures painted so far these are my least favourite. They are plastic
and seem clumsy as in the way the bodies are sculpted. Whats also apparent is Warlords Heroic scale
which shows up the large oversized heads.
They will also need a weight added to the bottom as they are easily knocked over. I will have to raid the 2p jar again lol
They look superb- photography great too!
Tried hard to give the impression they were in Crete, thanks.
I played around with my sons green screen but far too much like hard work! A cloth and that’s it for me!
The backdrop is just a photograph enlarged into a panorama sheet. It costs about £15 for a 5 x 1 foot sheet.
