28mm Warlord WWII US Army

[bigjackmac]

All,

Greetings, come on in and take a look at my doggies for World War Two.  These guys are mostly plastic multi-pose figures from Warlord Games, though there are some Warlord and Artizan metals mixed in for the weapons teams.  They're nice figures overall, if a little boring, with nicely sculpted weapons, faces, helmets, and gear, with a nice spread of weapons, though not enough M-1 Garands for my liking, could have done without the shotgun, didn't appreciate the fact you can't really get the BAR into a firing position, and there is an arm for throwing a grenade but it looks kind of wonky to me.  Sorry, don't mean to sound too down on them, they're still good to go as a force on the tabletop. 

I've got a platoon+ of riflemen, plus a bevy of support weapons: three bazooka teams, two MG teams, two mortar teams, two ATG teams, and a flamethrower team.  So plenty of troops to handle whatever nastiness the bad guys might throw at us.  On a side note, these guys are cool for North Africa, Italy, and NWE, but I also find myself wanting an Army force for the Pacific, but these just don't work for me, and I can't seem to find any models that match what's in my mind's eye.  If you've got any ideas (on figures I can purchase, NOT on how to spend the rest of my life modifying current figures with Green Stuff!), please let me know.


We've got a Captain on the right and a Doc on the left.  Yeah, I tried to spruce up my basic paintjob with some decals, consisting of rank, national ensign, and divisional patch (would have preferred 3rd Infantry Division, but The Big Red One ain't so bad, and was what I had on hand).


A couple NCOs with submachine guns, Grease Gun on the left and Tommy Gun on the right.


A couple doggies with M-1 Carbines; look at the five o'clock shadow on Big Sarge (left)!


A couple PFCs with Browning Automatic Rifles (BARs).


A couple soldiers with M-1 Garands.

And they're you have it, my US Army force for kicking Nazi butt.  I've got a bunch of vehicles for these guys, too, will post them separately.  Despite my gripes, I'm very happy with them and looking forward to getting them on the tabletop.  Someday...  Still painting and still have lots of troops left to post, but we're getting closer to the finish line.

V/R,
Jack

They look very good to me Jack ! No idea on US Marines though, or US Army in tropical gear I'm afraid.

Thanks guys!

And don't worry about Marines, Steve, got more of them than you can shake a stick at, but Army guys for the Pacific, that's the problem.

Jack
