SOTR German Mech Grenadier Squads 01
This will be the first of two posts showcasing my four Mech Grenadier Squads for Secrets of the Third Reich. Squads 1 and 2, shown here form the core of my 1st Platoon and Squads 3 and 4, which I'll show in a later post, form the core of my 2nd Platoon. I could have included all four squads in a single platoon but I decided to split them into two units.
Mech Grenadier Squads are made up of 10 men. 3 men may swap their Rifles for an Assault Rifle or an SMG. 2 men can form an LMG team and 1 man may choose a Panzerfaust.
I have given the NCO an Assault Rifle. 2 men have swapped their Rifles with SMGs. I have also added an LMG team comprising the Gunner and his Loader.
4 men are armed with Rifles and 1 man has taken a Panzerfaust.
This being the 1st squad of the 1st platoon I would class them in Bolt Action or Konflict 47 as veterans. They stand apart from my other squads by wearing camouflage helmets.
For my 2nd squad I have once again given my NCO an Assault Rifle and 2 men have SMGs.
1 man has taken a Panzerfaust. They have not taken an LMG team.
That leaves 6 men armed with Rifles - 5 shown above and the last one shown second from right in the previous two photos.
These wear dunkelgrau (dark grey) helmets.
All of these figures come with separate heads. To help identification, I have given my NCOs peaked caps.

More great camo painting Bryan, looks like a sizable force you have
ReplyDeleteThank you most kindly, Dave. You haven't seen half my force yet, just wait until I showcase my zombies!
DeleteFab bit of work Bryan :)
ReplyDeleteThat's very kind of you, Frank. I really enjoyed painting this army.
DeleteMore tip top camo, Bryan. I love the German gas mask head too!!
ReplyDeleteVery much appreciated, Simon. I particularly liked that not all heads are identical. It is cool to have variety.
DeleteI can only reiterate - top camo.
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased with it too, John. :-)
DeleteAt a push, especially considering my lousy eyesight, these could also be used as City Def forces in Judge Dredd.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very interesting idea, Phil, and one I'd never considered.
DeleteMy name is Olisa Blessing, I am so happy. I never assume I will be this happy again in life. I have worked as an air hostess ( cabin crew ) for 3years but early this year, I lost my job because of this deadly disease called Herpes virus (HSV).
ReplyDeleteI never felt sick or notice any symptoms. Not until the day all workers were asked to bring their new doctor's report card, that was how I got tested and I found out that I'm HSV positive and that made me lose my job because it was considered as an STD and is an incurable disease.
I was so depressed to the extent that I started thinking of suicide. I explained my situation to an older friend of mine, who often said to me 'a problem shared is a problem half solved.
She felt so pity for me that she referred me to Dr. Utu Herbal Cure, that was how I contacted Dr. Utu and got the medication from him and was cured for real.
I went back to my work a month later with a HERPES NEGATIVE test result. They were astonished and curious when they saw my HSV NEGATIVE result so they carried out another test on me in the company lab to be very sure and they found out I am indeed a HERPES VIRUS FREED PERSON.
Finally, the initial HERPES POSITIVE result was replaced with a new HERPES NEGATIVE test result, and my position was given back to me with an apology letter and a salary increase.
Beware of impersonators,
Dr. Utu can only be reached at:
