More Goumier
Eleven more Goumier from Strelets (pack M151) suitable for Sicily, Italy and NWE. You will notice a couple of duplicates, these will be separated among different platoons in the final Tabor orbat.
The last two I slightly altered, the left hand guy appears to be in the process of throwing a grenade, so I gave him one.
The other guy is posed walking with a Thompson under his right arm and a pistol in his left, not a bad pose, but I didn`t want or need so many SMGs - why do figure manufacturers not look at actual orbats when planning boxes of figures?? he started out like this (you get 4 in the box)
Anyway with the help of a new sharp blade I pruned away the Thompson, added a pack from the spares box and painted him up as a medic, losely based on this photo:
Excellent!

Cheers Geoff, finished another 6 today, that should be enough for a full Tabor (Battalion) under our rules
DeleteI have not been pursuing my early 20th century colonial interests strongly since the demise of SOTCW so I missed these Strelet additions. I like your clever conversion to produce a medic. CarlL
ReplyDeleteThanks Carl, I`ve really enjoyed playing with these
