Thanks for the shout out.👍....I did use the Atlantic boxset too....and also subbed in some warlord rifles.....remember if you decide to use a Jedburgh Team for the resistance....you need access to extra bren gun guys in case you roll lucky
Thanks Rich, it was a very eventful game indeed! Your partisan really did look excellent. Ah righty, thanks for the advice. I'm going to have to see what list I want to build for my resistance 😀👍
Great stuff!!! The Wargames Atlantic 'Partisan' box seem to be made to represent French or Western European, 'Maquis' type 'resistants' but, with a little chopping and changing of weaponry, could also be used for Spanish Civil War Republican Militia, Very British Civil War types, Irish Rebels 1916-1923 and even Polish resistance fighters from both the Warsaw Jewish Ghetto uprising of 1943 and the wider Polish Home Army Warsaw Uprising of 1944. (The Polish fighters in the latter two ill-fated uprisings used elements of German uniforms and 'kit' including weapons, helmets and caps etc. so they might be fun to experiment with?) For 'Pulp'-type inter-wars 'civilian' games, the dress/bodies and heads of the Wargames Atlantic kit would suit USA 'Gangster/Prohibtion' era set-ups and even 'Peakey Blinder' imaginations, particularly when combined with the WA 'Western Gunfighter' kit they offer. (Always loads of spare arms and weapons left over...) I might add that I'm very much a fan of your 'mix and match' -'kit-bashing' skills as a modeller/painter and, although at first glance at the unpainted creations the 'Bolt Action' arms looked a bit too 'heavy/bulky', when painted up you really can't tell!!! (I930s/'40s civvie-clothing wasn't as 'fitted' as more modern styles anyway...) As always another inspiring and informing post from you! xx SF
When I used this box to make my resistance I combined it with their WW1 french infantry. I was inspired by a book called Tears of glory about the fight for the vercors and a resistance fighter who put on his old WW1 uniform to inspire his men.
Great Ste, you have been very creative as usual with your dancing hands and all the plastic bits. Its good that there are so many usable parts in all the WW2 plastics. And no cork was used on these models, so the trees in Spain and Portugal were harmed in the making of Stes's new army.
Really glad that the video helped! The WA kit really does work well with the plastic kits from WG. So many options for making some really unique and individual looking characters and units 😃
Cheers Andy! Definitely agree with this. My preferred prime is a mix of brown and green. It just gives a really good base to work with and it works with pretty much any colour 😀👍
Cheers Dan! I've seen quite a few fellow kitbashers doing this so it seems quite a popular choice. Really impressed with the results though. I've got your Bolt Action Stalingrad video on my watch list for tomorrow, looking forward to that 😀👍
The partisans look exceptional, 👌 i wish they got an mp40 also. I like the painted ones, the green bases really makes the miniatures come back to life. Looking forward for the germans flames of war. Cheers Ste.
Thanks Lucian! I think that the MP40 from the DAK or Blitzkrieg kits would be able to be used with the partisan kit. I may have to that, looking forward to some more work on these. I've actually finished my 15mm O Group German battalion and a video will be up soon 😀👍
Definitely agree with this. I think the resistance box is great and they scale really well with the Warlord Games plastics so there really is scope for creativity 😀
Cheers Steve, much appreciated! I haven't really settled on how I'm going to go about building the resistance list but it should be pretty enjoyable putting it together 😀👍
Cracking work! I've got plans (once a few other projects are out the way) to use a box of these as a base for some Volkssturm, with some extra parts from a bunch of different kits. I love the way you've painted yours up, they really are full of character, and it's a real inspiration to see. Hope it all goes well!
Thank you! That's a really excellent idea to use them as Volkssturm. I can imagine that the Wargames Atlantic partisans would work well with the many German kits that Warlord Games produce. Definitely something I'll be looking into! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, always appreciated 😀👍
Cheers mate! That's what I thought too, you can barely tell that these are kitbashes. It's a project that will definitely be heavy on the kitbashing 😀👍
Fun figures! That army would add variety to the tabletop scene. The bit of vocabulary lesson also adds flavor, “stonker”, not common in my part of the world.
Thank you! These figures definitely make a change from painting standard uniforms and they certainly add a bit of variety. I think stonker is local to the UK...well I think it is 😃👍
Cheers buddy! I wasn't really planning on making one for a while but having played against them and also working with these has made me want to carry on 😀👍
The Partians from Wargames Atlantic is a fantastic kit and one that I really haven't spent enough time with. As a short term thing, I'm thinking of adding some of these as support for my Polish Airborne 😃👍
