Rangers WIP 3 Magnets !

I really wanted to use bangalores in the rangers pack so i decided to magnetize them so as to change if they are not used...

I really like the result. the piece can become the NCO of my second squad instead...

Rangers WIP 2 Assembly completed

I finished tonight the assembly of my rangers platoon.
It will be made up by two squads plus some specialists. I am pretty happy about the first result though it was quite a long job. I am happy about the variety it can be obtained though some more variation in arm types would be great (some "at rest" variants would be helpful in assembling specialists).





Here's the first squad. NCO with gun, bar, 1/2 smgs and 5/6 rifles. I love the Bar with woolen cap and helmet in his back

Rangers WIP 1

Here some photos of assembled miniatures for my rangers.

You may see a great flamethrower and a bazooka team where the metal parts are very visible...

Bolt Action Unboxing US rangers

My first Bolt Action project is a platoon of US rangers (I decided after looking for the nth+1 time Saving Private Ryan). I grabbed a Box of Warlords US rangers at my local shop (Goblin !) and started looking at them.

Actually the box is made by 5 + 3 sprues from the standard US infantry box + a bag of metal items to characterize them as Rangers.

Bolt Action !

I enthusiastically bought a copy of the new Bolt Action rules ! I was really excited about startin a new project involving large scale figures for the WWII (so as to keep using my fantastic airbrush !)
Here is the copy I finally got from Amazon. At a first reading the rules are simple and the game seems playable only requiring 20-40 men and 1-2 vehicles/tanks. I hope some folk here around will start an army so as to have a mate to play with... I live in Italy and finding opponents is always a drama !
