Title: WW1 British for Nik Harwood
Post by: Duke Speedy of Leighton on 22 March 2022, 10:44:00 AM
The Germans need opposition. Nik being too busy with real life asked me to paint his WW1 forces.

The British, Old Contemptables, ready for action. Mostly painted while I was running a competition at Boards and Swords hobbies this weekend!

It really is impressive how well British uniform blends in

Hopefully I've done them justice

There is a lot less British infantry than German units

But then the mad minute would even that out

Plus they have friends, only two per battalion

Still enough to make the enemy think
