US Airborne Engineer Platoon

Hello All

another updated with my latest platoon painted up for my Market Garden US Para Army. I have rounded out my infantry with an Airborne Engineer Platoon.



This is one of my favourite units in the US Para army, The combination of 3 Bazookas, LMG's and the Pioneer Supply Cart means you have a real combined armies platoon that can take anything thrown at it.


I painted this platoon while very ill to get the platoon done for the Milton Keynes Campaign convention. I know I used the wrong paints on a few parts on the platoon but I think it was not that noticeable.


Well not much more to say, except that I'm taking a little time off painting infantry after this army my second infantry army of the year. I have started planning my next project which will have no infantry in it! But more on that soon.


Well Thanks for reading and until next time

Ben

  1. No title for the post, agree on the versatility of the platoon, and seriously feel the pain of painting infantry :)

      They really are a great platoon to sit on an objective.

  3. Very nice work... I'm in same boat, busy working on a second infantry platoon in a row, though thankfully smaller than the last one!

    1. Thanks Scott.

      Yeah the large US Platoon while great and fun to for the game are a nightmare to paint!

      Still 2 tanks armies being lined up next should be a nice change of pace.

  4. US Para's, Engineers AND being lead by Spiers! It doesn't get any cooler than that!

    1. No it doesn't! At the weekend the platoon captured 6 out of 7 T34 from a platoon. Well we all know what Spiers does with prisoners! LOL
