Leaders for the Grenzer
These have been on the painting desk for quite a while. Given how well the Grenzer have performed - even in the first game where they should have been doomed to instant "freshly painted" failure - they certainly deserve their own dedicated officer and NCO.
These are Front Rank figures. They are a smidge taller and chunkier than the Perry Grenzer but you can hardly tell as they are be individually based and separate to the main groups. Again, the Front Rank figures were excellent to paint and the faces really are superb.
So, on the left: the new, improved Longabuscu
Supported by his new Corporal Curlicu

A "quick group shot" of the Grenzer and their new leaders. In classic "bucket" mode I dropped the Austrian box in the process of setting this up. Thankfully just a broken sword and bayonet. Must click the lids closed in future ... but it makes me wonder if metal might be the way to go in the future!
The uniforms of the Grenzer are another favorite of mine. You have done the Captain and the Corporal proud here!
ReplyDeleteThanks - that means a lot. Your blog was the inspiration for these fine chaps. Until the last outing, they've surpassed all expectations in the field too. I'd love to find some background reading on the Grenzer.
