Ben here with a painting update, this time for my 101st Airborne Market Garden army.
For the HQ, I decided to use the Easy Company heroes as the command models for a few reasons. Firstly they are very nice models, secondly it means I can do Easy Company from Normandy to the Bugle and finally there is only 2 US Para command models, the blister adds in quite a few more models to the mix. To make the commands different from my Bulge army and to keep it historicalish everyone got a downgrade. So Winter's has become the Company Commander instead of a Higher Command model, Lipton will be a Platoon Commander, etc.
My Company Commander, Winters himself |
Nixon seemed a good choice as the 2IC |
Robert Redford I mean Major Cook.... I know he's not part of the 101st Airborne, but it gives me a few different options with the army if we ever get a Firestorm Market Garden campaign going. |
Anyway I hope you enjoyed this post and until next time thanks for reading

Funnily enough the other day I was thinking how would you use the easy compony models in a normandy-market garden army! More fantastic looking models as always Ben!
