Meet Hans
Hans is in theory the last German figure for my Volksgrenadiers for Chain of Command \ Bolt Action. I say last, because of course at some point I will "need" more, but this is the last of the planned additions. Hans is part of my Recce team - three guys with an MG42 and a Junior leader. They're an add on to an add on in that I can take a Sdkfz 250 /1 as a general transport or use it to carry a recce team. All is good.

Unlike the bulk of the force these are from the Victrix Late War German Infantry set, rather than the Warlord Winter Germans. I thought as these guys were going to be attached from another unit a different style of model would be nice, and also it gave me a chance to try out the Victrix models in the flesh. I bought a single sprue from The Sprue Shop as I was only needing four guys.
On that note they're very nice models. Less "heroic" in proportion to the Warlord models, but still very nice and I'd certainly get more if I needed them, which I must keep reminding myself, I don't :-) . If I decide to do PanzerGrenadiers I'll use Victrix.
So another project "completed". Taking a break from WW2 painting before launching into the British who will be a matched army for the Volksgrenadiers, and there are still 28mm Napoleonic French and Austrians to finish, plus a Spanish Napoleonic army to start, so I'm not short of projects, but before I launch into those I have another little side project to finish involving football, or should I say Soccer?
Hopefully next time Muchachos!
