More desert Brits!

Back with a continuation of the 1941 North Africa project, this time with more of the same!

There isn’t too much to discuss from a painting standpoint, these were done in exactly the same manner as my previous post.

I built the Bren team prone for a bit of variety.

I was pretty happy with how some of the eyes on these turned out so here’s a look at that!

There will be plenty more where these came from, I have a whole lot more infantry to paint for this army as you might expect (and plenty more on the German side when I get to them!). This leads me to talk about what I’ve got planned for this army. As I mentioned last time, this army was partly inspired by my Great Grandfather having been part of 8th army in WW2, hence building these as British (the Warlord kits provide a ton of different heads for troops from all over the empire). I also plan on adding some Australian troops to the army as a nod to where I live now.

Here’s my planned army list with the currently painted models crossed out in red:

1940-42 Commonwealth Infantry Brigade (British)

– 2nd Lieutenant – 2 Extra men

– Artillery Forward Observer

– 10-Man Infantry Section – LMG, SMG

– 10-Man Infantry Section – LMG, SMG

– 10-Man Infantry Section – LMG, SMG

– 5-Man Royal Engineers Section – LMG, Anti-tank grenades

– Machine Gun Team

– Medium Mortar Team

– Field Artillery (25pdr)

– Bren Carrier – Pintle-Mounted LMG

– Matilda II

1940-42 Commonwealth Infantry Brigade (Australian)

– 2nd Lieutenant – 1 Extra man

– 8-Man Infantry Section – LMG, SMG

– 8-Man Infantry Section – LMG, SMG

– 8-Man Infantry Section – LMG, SMG

– 5-Man Infantry Section – LMG, Anti-tank grenades

– Bren Carrier – Pintle-Mounted LMG

– Matilda II

– Matilda II

As you can see I still have a lot to do! This was never intended as a short project, and should take me quite a while to get through.
