The British Are Coming!

I spent last night cleaning up the miniatures for my basic Parachute/Airlanding plotoons. The two man teams (Pathfinder, PIAT, Sniper & Light Mortar) I glued to small bases. Everyone else went onto popsicle sticks for priming and painting. So that gives me:

• Company HQ (2 teams; 6 figures)
• Pathfinder team (1 team; 1 figure)
• PIAT teams (6 teams; 12 figures)
• Sniper teams (3 teams; 6 figures)
• Light Mortar teams (4 teams; 8 figures)
• Platoon HQ's (4 stands; 12 figures)
• Rifle/MG teams (18 teams; 90 figures)

Hmmm 6+1+12+6+8+12+90=135 infantry (so far). I suppose I should mention that I hate painting infantry. I hate painting them, but I enjoy playing infantry...even against tanks.

Tonight I will get eveyone primed and maybe start painting the flesh...

I am also going to put together one of my "painting guides" for British Airborne troops.
