I was putting together a Bolt Action army for tomorrow night’s game and realised that I didn’t have a flamethrower team painted for my Commando’s. I could decide to go with a light mortar or a sniper as a “softer option”.
Yeah right! Burn baby burn!
I had an Australian flamethrower with a helmet which didn’t really fit the rest of the army with slouched hats so I decided to use this one. Previously I had looked for a commando flamethrower but couldn’t find one in 28mm.
The figure from Wartime Miniatures will fit in quite well. The helmet instead of beret and Bergen would not be out of place when needing to get up close and personal.
I will use the additional crewman as an Aussie NCO with rifle and add a commando as the assistant in its place.
Given the one hour paint job before bed I am happy with how it turned out.
Back to the Aussies tomorrow and hopefully a Bolt Action win with the Commandos and the Churchill.
Great job for just an hour Dave, and looks good with the commando
Thanks Dave. Washes and dry brushing hides a lot of sins!
Nice Work Dave
Thanks.
Great last minute addition. Have a fun game!
Turns out I needn’t have rushed it. As I had not been for a while a bunch of us kept our figures in the box and stayed at the bar talking ship for most of the night. Great fun just to catch up!
Sometimes those are the best nights.
Great job there. I’d always choose aflamethrower over the other options.
Cheers,
Pete.
I am an aggressive player by nature and the flamer is more of an “in your face” option.
