Title: WWII Italian crews
Post by: Leon on 09 April 2013, 12:39:16 AM
I must have missed these in last weeks batch, but we've had a selection of artillery crewmen done, so that we can man all of the Italian guns when they're ready:

Great figures, I reckon they can double as Romanians too which is good for my future project. =D>


If was a little more cynical, I'd believe the Pendraken team are playing a game at the office to see how many of us they can divert from our current projects with this tsunami of releases  ;D

Nice! Now we just need those guns... :-w :!!

My Desert Italians won't know what hit them when a load of new kit turns up after years of shortages and having to "borrow" guns from the Afrika Korps. :d

Why is the one on the left eating his grenade?

No he isn't. The man is swallowing a grenade, and he's swallowing it whole.  :o

Is he from Sicily?  :-\

I know the Italian artillery park was pretty obsolete, but I don't think even they used black powder muzzle loaders - so why the sponge...... :o :'( :d

Just clip it off and it becomes a pry-bar for delicate adjustments to the gun.

Better to have a sponge you can clip off than a rod you have to sculpt onto...  :P
