Finished Extras for Spearhead

Good morning,

Here is the culmination of my Term 1 holidays...

• Two companies (three platoons each) of Kiwi/Brit infantry (+ Platoon Commanders when I want to use them for Crossfire)


• One Platoon/Squad (depending on the rules!) of SMG armed assault infantry


• One Platoon/Squad of engineers - the one with the flame thrower


• One Forward Observer stand for...


• One 25 Pounder with four [individually based] crew


• One Quad tractor that I'll replace the gun with when the 25 Pounder is "limbered"


• Four crew for the 6 Pounder that I made earlier

So...here are the grunts...



I especially like that second platoon/squad (Spear Head/Crossfire). Here you'll see one Caesar miniature (donated by Jack Sarge), one HaT Tank Rider (again, donated by the Sarge), and one Esci bod (sourced by Stan) all working together in harmony.

Actually, likewise this Engineer squad...



...and to a slightly lesser extent, the F/O. Another tank rider with an Esci radio operator.


Which makes a nice segue to the big gun itself, the 25 pounder...



...and it's primary mode of transportation, the Quad Artillery Tractor.




And just to prove that I painted the inside...



Cool! Having just put them away, I now realise that I need one more Company Commander element to use these extras as an understrength company for Crossfire. So...two more figs...how long might that take then?! I'd like to get them done before I drop all for The Great Hawker Named-After-A-Weather-Event Aircraft Group Build.
