WWII

World War II

My 25mm WWII project started because of the great figures put out by Wargames Foundry…I just had to have them! Sadly, this appears to be yet another range of figures that they will never finish. So I’ve moved on to use Battle Honors which are a bit smaller, but are pretty good figures at a good price. The rest of the 25mm WWII that I add to my collection are likely to be Battle Honors as they have quite an extensive line. I painted the German Paras, though I know the camo could have been much better. “Evil” Kevin painted the British Paras for me and the pictures don’t do them justice…excellent figures. And in yet another project that I didn’t have time for, the regular British infantry were sent to Fernando Enterprises in Sri Lanka and came out rather nice.
I’ve used these figures with Battleground WWII, BAPS and a Necromunda WWII variation. 25mm is a great scale for low-level skirmish games. The project currently consists of a squad with extra support weapons and command of German Paras, a squad with extra support weapons and command of British Paras, and a platoon of British infantry.

25MM WORLD WAR II March 2006 Update

This update completes this project for me. The only thing I might add from here on out are some more buildings and terrain pieces. There are additions to the Germans and British and an entirely new Finnish force in this update.
