Recce for 12th SS

To follow the Panther last week, here is most of the recce unit for 12th SS under RapidFire.  Just missing the two motorcycles and crews.

All the vehicles are Milicast.  The infantry are mainly Battlefield with a few AB.

Tried a few camo patterns out.  The oakleaf spring and autumn weren't too difficult, the plantree helmet covers probably still have too much bright green showing.  The peadot was a bugger.  Stripped back twice and pretty happy on the third go.

Depressing thing is I have two battalions of infantry left to paint.

The Goulbourn club put on a great Rapidfire2 weekend in February consisting of 3 games using forces from the Normandy Battlegroups book.

Took a few photos of my forces battling the evil hordes!.

These forces are cobbled together - a bunch of the 12th SS vehicles with basecoats and beginnings of weathering - but nowhere near finished and infantry standing in from my 21 Panzer units.  In any case, they did a good job over the weekend.

First Panther finished

This has taken me quite some time.  Only one of them finished I am afraid but I am pretty happy with it.  I have ordered two sets of shurtzen for the other two from Dan Taylor.
