Title: Learchos Kallergis, the exiled strategos. (My player character from D&D)
Description: The model is the 3D printed Late Roman Dux from the Decline and Fall range. I used a left over shield from Victrix Miniatures to tie him into my existing force and so I could use one of the transfers by Little Big Men Studios.

Title: Swamp man
Description: The scene is made using componenets of WA Dark Age Irish and Goths sets. Both work very well together. I particularly like the shield from the Irish set.

Description: This Spanish guerilla leader or officer was inspired by the uniform descriptions in Rene Chartrand's Spanish Guerillas in the Peninsular War. All of his parts are from the British Riflemen set. Moustache and whiskers were added with putty.

Description of entry - In a lightning attack, German stormtroopers have successfully entered the first trench line of their French adversaries. The French defenders have thrown up a trench block to hold back the advancing German while both sides prepare a fusillade of grenades for this close quarters fight. In the background, a French SOS barrage lands on no-mans-land to disrupt the attack. In the foreground, a French Captain leads a reserve squad in a counter-attack on the lost position.
This diorama uses an entire box of WA German and French minis. 3D printed late war assault backpacks have been added to many of the German soldiers. Terrain and effects come from a variety of sources.
Description of entry - This German officer stands above a discarded French helmet as he directs his men in an attack. He is equipped with binoculars and a luger.
Title: Clearing The Way - Group/Diorama – Historical
Description: French engineers remove obstacles and mines before a counterattack. The man at the back left has an SAS detenator and dynamite. The sergeant's pistol is from the partisans sprue and his wrench and the jerry can are Panzer Lehr. The slung rifle arms and the mine sweeper and blow-torch's heads are from the German Sentries. I couldn't find too much about French engineers with my google-fu so I decided to just have fun with it and throw on whatever useful gubbins they might need. The blow-torch is inspired by the engineer from Half-Life: Opposing Force. The mine sweeper and wire cutters were scratch built with an old 1/35 .50 cal ammo can as the detector backpack thingamajiggy.

Title: Antichar - Group/Diorama – Historical
Description: A French anti-tank team with a Fusil Antichar Boys monitors panzer movements via radio. The Great War-era visor might deflect a splinter. The radio operator's head and radio are from the SAS sprue and I think the binoculars are Panzer Lehr.

Title: The Hunter - Single Figure – Historical
Description: A sniper emerges from the Mle 38 Tactical Bush. The scope is definitely not historically accurate but it is an homage to the Lebel Marksman from Hunt: Showdown, for those of you who have played that.

Title: Respite - Single Figure – Historical
Description: A battle-scarred sergeant of the Chasseurs Alpins finds a moment's relief in the shadow of the memories of another war. The cigarette-smoking arm is from the German Sentries and the head is from the Partisans.
Title: 1920’s Chinese Warlord Era Big Sword Trooper
Type: single figure
Description: As the title states it’s a Chinese Warlord Big Sword Trooper with an iffy on the accuracy paint job. I kitbashed him together with the body and head from the WA WW2 Italian kit, the sword arms from the boxer kit, a partisan kit pistol holder, and a side satchel that I am pretty sure came from a Warlord games Boltaction kit, the stone flocking is chopped up sprue bits.
Note: due to technical reason I am going to try to add some better photos a little bit after initial posts.
Title: somewhat Garishly painted Partisans and one hunter in snow
Type: Group.
Description: This is more or less a joke entry added for humor (since I was trying to give a lot of these guys eyes which was only one of the rookie mistakes made lol), though I did try hard to make the guy in the orange jacket presentable and I feel the other three are at least table worthyfor history gaming outside of them being just puddle based at the moment. Mostly WA Partisans and FrenchWW2 sprue parts with 2 studio Z bodies thrown in.
Note: due to technical reason I am going to try to add some better photos a little bit after initial posts. Yes I actually have more photos of these guys.
Edit: here is the rest.
Yeah this guy is the hunter who I probably put the most work into of the lot of them.
Some hilarously googley eyed guys. I am actually kind of pleased with these two, particularly the gunner who gives off a Mario meets Tintin vibe.
Discription: All parts from French infantry 1916-1940 kit, knife was carved from the machete in the kit. Intention was to replicate a historic photo of a late WW1 French Soldier.
Submissions are now closed. Wargames Atlantic will be collating entries and data for the next few days. Thank you all for entering! keep on painting and please keep us posted! we love painted model photos!
