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.
