Next unit for my Budapest pocket project, a unit of German Pioneers. This will be a veteran squad, most likely ready to dig in on an objective. In Bolt Action, veterans are hard to shift, and the squad based flame thrower will add a bit of a challenge for enemy units who get too close.





The miniatures are from Black Tree Designs. I took a bit of time with their faces and insignia. I think they came out OK. The basing will wait, I am going to do the whole army at once. Now onto some Heer Grenadiers. The force is very eclectic, both matching the theme of the desperate -and doomed- defense of Budapest. It is also being achieved by not buying anything new, all the models so far have come from the existing backlog.

I like them, quite a bit of variation in that squad! š I went on a weekend break to Budapest back in the 80s and was surprised to see a bunch of WW2 Germans in uniform near the Fisherman’s Bastion – it turns out they were making a movie!

Thanks. Yes, there is a nice mix for metal models. There were only a couple of repeats in the bag. Budapest sounds like a great place to visit- it is on my list

Ta. It is nice to be painting more than I’m buying at the moment. Although there might be a couple of packages in the post …

Nice work on both the faces and the insignia. Having a flamethrower is always a fun thing in a game!
And Dave, you know the backlog truly never ends….
