WWII British 8th army infantry, part 1

 This is going to be the last post from Canada, next Monday I'll be travelling back to Italy and I hope to be able to finish something to post for the following one.

The figures in this post are the first I finished from a Perry Miniatures set that my fiancée gave me for Christmas. They will form the infantry of my North Africa 8th army for Bolt Action.

I had previously completed some vehicles, a Matilda II, a Dingo scout Car and before that, a utility car, it was about time to add some infantry.

This army will be used against my Afrika Corps army that I painted back in 2020 and never used since completion.

The first models I completed are some support weapons, the Bren machine gun will be part of an infantry section, the Boys anti tank rifle and the light mortar will be independent teams.

I'm looking forward to work on the remaining 34 models and have the army ready to play.

More Byzantines

 This is the second unit of slingers in the army, with them the light troops are done.

I still have another two of these guys, but I can't find them in the stuff I shipped from Canada, they'll bulk up this unit when they reappear.

Next will be some cavalry and mounted characters, but I have to get back to Italy first.

Historicals from Canada

 Hi all, last week, instead of posting on the blog, I was travelling to Canada to come visit my fiancée.

I will be in Canada until the end of February and I won't be doing any painting here, but I have enough material for 3 posts before I go back.

Today we have some Byzantine heavy mounted archers, old Citadel miniatures, like most of the army. They will form the rear rank of the cataphract unit.

They are a little basic sculpts, but I like their simplicity and ease of painting.

Next will be some more slingers, heavy cavalry and characters, but I still have to unpack some boxes and find more models.
