BTD Germans and adding to the Blitzkrieg...

I have pressed on with my Blitzkrieg Germans Project. I painted up some BTD miniatures and am super impressed with the quality of their figures. Even some of the sculpts that looks a tad awkward on the website or prior to painting come up very nicely and I am very impressed with BTD.

I have also included a Panzer 1. I will be painting up 4 more of these plus a Panzer 1 Command Vehicle. There is a Warlord Games Light Mortar Team and a Crusader Miniatures SS Schutzen which I will be using for 1940s campaigns.

Blitzkrieg Germans

In order to recreate the battles of September 1939 I needed some (slight under-exaggeration) Blitzkrieg Germans. With the Black Tree Designs (BTD) 50% sales I could not resist their miniatures. Love them or hate them I think they are pretty decent and paint up nicely. I have a huge range of Blitzkrieg Germans to paint up from a variety of manufacturers.

I decided I needed to do two test figures. One is a BTD Rifleman and the other is a Warlord Games German Pioneer. I also needed a test vehicle for Panzer Grey so I assembled and painted up my Phanomen Granit H25 truck.

I plan on using these guys for more than just Poland. They will be used for campaigns from 1939-1942.

With no pressure on me to paint an Army for an upcoming event, these will be part of many projects I have planned!

The BTD German tunic is painted with Vallejo 920 German Uniform and the Warlord tunic is painted with Vallejo 895 Gunship Green.
