So as you might know Warlord Games are releasing a Campaign book for Bolt Action based on the ''What could have happened'' British Invasion code-named Operation Sea Lion.
The year is 1940, and the German invasion of Britain has begun. With this new campaign book for Bolt Action, players can fight the battles of World War II's greatest 'what if' scenario. Defend the cliffs of Dover and the beaches of Kent from wave after wave of German landing craft. Parachute into the Home Counties in a surgical strike to capture Winston Churchill. Rally the Home Guard in a last, desperate attempt to keep England free of the Nazi invaders! Containing new rules, scenarios, and unit types covering all of the unique features of this alternate history campaign, it offers a chance for all Bolt Action players to truly rewrite the history of World War II.
Now seeing as last years Bring Out Your Lead hosted at Foundry I picked up more or less the full set of Foundry's Home Guard it was due time I got working on them again.
I already had one section finished so I already had a good start.
Anyway enough talking I'm sure you want to see some pictures, being me shite pictures but whatcha expect? hehe
So like most my WW2 it's Winter themed, and I quite like the only Winter Gear given to these Home Guard is a scarf or 2 and maybe some longjohns.
So we have finished:
Captain Mainwaring
Sergeant Wilson
Lance Corporal Jones
Private Walker
Private Godfrey
15 Homeguard Inc BAR, Lewis Gun, 2 Thompsons
MMG
Light Mortar
Jones Van
Still plenty left from my Lead Pile to finish including 2 more Sections, Bikes, FAO's and of course the missing characters like Pike and Frazer.
The Van above is just a weather up diecast Lledo Van, cheap at just a few quid and the last boy that I am didn't even need to paint it.
Those waiting for more BoB/WW2 Chinese posts I'm still waiting for both my Northstar Order and my LAF trade to turn up in the post so they'll be a little while yet.
Still plenty of other stuff in the lead pile to crack out!
So Ta Ta for now!
