American paratroopers Battalion (15-20mm)

Here are some pictures of my 15-20mm paratroopers battalion for rapid fire rules! The figures are Esci which I purchased recently from a guy who sells hundreds of 1/72 figures of all era's. I really love the pathfinder guy with the mohawk and the soldier throwing a grenade.

Battalion exist of

- 1 commandbase (1 figure)

- 3 squads of 4 bases (18 figures)

- 1 heavy weapon squad (2 figures)

Total = 21 figures or 14 bases

The painting

1) Clean the mini's with soap and hot water!

2) Let them dry and give them an undercoat of 1/3 chaos black and 2/3 of water.

3) Drybrush them heavily with snakebiteleather .

4) Another drybrush with 1/3 snakebiteleather en 2/3 skull white.

5) Painted the guns mithrill silver and scorched brown.

6) Painted some faces with dwarf flesh and the details with elf flesh (see pathfinders).

7) painted some details like the ammopacks in scorched brown and highlighted with 1/3 scorched brown and 2/3 skull white.

The figures

The officer, I really like his face (which I left with just a snakebiteleather drybrush).

The machinegun squad (not attached to the base).

The entire battalion ready to be dropped!

I hope you liked this short post,
