Wow, those are beautiful. Which ruleset will you be using?

Thank you Leon, we'll be adapting our own WW-2 rules 'Panzerkeil'.  They're very detailed so quite a lot of research is going into the WW-1 version with all the different weapons characteristics and tactics and we'll need quite a bit of testing to get all the details and 'feeling' right but the foundations are solid and, at least in the WW-2 settings, up to now give highly realistic results even when we play on battallion or brigade level. Mind you, that is in 1:1 in numbers... and then 20 mm....

Right on then,
The support weapons for my Stosstruppen are almost done... when I'm ready with these they'll have a full 12 men Flammenwerfer Gruppe with two KleiF's  and the accompanying handgrenade throwers, two HMG's, a Minenwerfer 75, a T-gewehr 18 (AT-rifle), a TaK 37mm (AT-gun) and a shortened Russian 76mm Inf. gun for the Nahkampf Batterie. Guess that should give them a fair chance against the first French T-17 platoon (5 tanks) that's also underway. Hopefully all will be done on thursday around noon so I can take 'em along to some friends for a quick 1918 try out!
Pictures will follow a.s.a.p.!

I really need to take some more pictures of the stuff I did recently but at least these pic's turned out half decent...
Some more scenery done for the 1918 bombed woodland complete with some German and French casualties, some dead horses, abandoned guns etc.

Rimmer: "Aliens."

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

Those look great, Rob.

Some quick pictures of the French Renault FT17 tank platoon (why doesn't Pendraken do a MG version; only two different 37mm cannon version turrets?) and the support weapons for the Stosstruppen.
On the picture are 2x HMG's, a Mauser AT-rifle, a 7,5cm Granatwerfer with ammo section; a 37mm AT-gun, a Russian 76mm ISG with shortened barrel and a full Flammenwerfer Gruppe, complete with the attached grenade throwers.
(somehow the figures keep coming out 'shiny' on the pictures; so sorry for that!)
