Title: Elhiem 20mm Modern German Infantry/KSK
Post by: bigjackmac on 02 December 2015, 03:31:59 AM
All,

Here's the troops next up on the posting block: Elhiem 20mm Modern German infantry and KSK.  I bought three packs, but stole two figures out of the group to move over to the good guys.  What do I mean 'good guys?'  Well, I'm gearing up for an Imagi-Nation campaign in the Balkans, and I needed bad guys.  Modern Germans are definitely good guys, but I don't have any wargaming use for them.  But, looking at pics online, I absolutely love the figures, and so I picked three packs up to be Serbian Special Forces, most definitely bad guys in my campaign.

The whole group of nine men; four have helmets, four have balaclavas/shemaghs, and one has a soft cap.  Done up, once again, with my very humble basing consisting of green flock on pennies...  Let's get to the figs, which are, as usual with Elhiem, absolutely beautiful.

I did up sort of a German 'ambush' pattern (apparently they wear something similar today in Afghanistan), with a desert yellow base, a dark brown, and a dark green.  The green and brown don't look much different here.  Anyway, a great looking figure.

To see a bunch more photos, please check the blog at:

And that's my bad guy Serbs, the "Tigers."  Hopefully they don't rough me up too bad.  More to come.  I'm really just posting this to let everyone know we've taken a bad turn; my campaign won't start this weekend as we've had a death in the family and we're working on the arrangements.

V/R,
Jack
