I have a small force of SS that
I am working on – mostly as an opposing force for my Canadians in Normandy and
Paras in Arnhem. I though this might be the last of them, but I found a few
more I’m going to paint up before I call them “done for now…”
While some of the figures are
genuinely marketed as “SS” figures, others are just Germans I’ve painted up in
pes-dot cam to pass off as SS.
(Remember: click on the pictures
for a bigger version):
The latest batch.
An SS Command team from Bolt
Action Miniatures
LMG team – also from Bolt
Action Miniatures
Advancing LMG team – also from Bolt Action
Miniatures
SS with Panzerfausts – I’m not entirely sure of the make of these – I think I picked them up off of ebay and they were listed as “Battle Honors” but they seem a bit chunkier than other battle honours figures I have…?
Panzershrek teams – came with
the batch with the panzerfausts above.
Flame thrower – again – came with the two batches above
Assorted SS from Artizan
Designs
And a few more from Black Tree Design
SS Casualties from Black Tree Design - it’s possible they were simply meant to
be “prone” but I’m using them as casualty markers…
Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:
Perhaps a few more SS… though I’ve also been working on a
Tiger tank and been eyeing up both Fallshirmjägers and 40 Imperial Guard… so…
who knows!?

Great looking troops as always Tim.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stanley!
DeleteVery nice, great camo work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray! Somehow I missed this comment earlier!? I've just been enjoying all your Salute pictures!
DeleteDammit Tim, I remain staggered by your productivity - how the hell do you do it? Please tell me you spend forty hours a week painting so I don't feel so bad about my own miserable trickle of finished figs...
ReplyDeleteThanks! When I am in high-productivity mode - like I am now - I do spend a LOT of time painting. I don't play video games (ever) or watch TV - which is where a lot of other people's time goes. I do occasionally watch a DVD... but even then I have a little painting area set up and mostly just listen to the movie and occasionally look up when rinsing a brush or when something important is going on...
DeleteI also paint with my kids now - which is thus "quality family time" as well as "productive painting time". I'm all about efficiency!
Ooooh, I love these, Tim. Pea Dot camo is way cool and you've reproduced them excellently. A very intimidating force.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean. I have a lot of fun painting camouflage - it's time consuming and, as times, a paint in the butt... but it does look pretty nifty when it's done.
DeleteTim - You are prolific in turning out well-painted figures at a rate of knots. Very impressive!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hope you're having fun at Salute!
