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!

First unit with machine gun


The thin khaki line


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


Two cavalry units with Machine guns in support


Player's view


British gun line


BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


Something atmospheric about this one


Commanders

Yes, there is a red cap in there


The British batch
