I bought these as a job lot from Ian at the Defenders club a couple of years back. I spruced up the existing paint job so they fit in with the rest of my troops. As is the norm for Battlegroup platoons, these guys are organised with a six man command team at the front, followed by three 3 man MG34 teams and three 5 man rifle sections. I have no idea off the original manufacturer, so if anyone recognises them, I'd love to know if they are still available (as StevenC points out below, they are Platoon20 figures, currently available through East Riding Miniatures).
CO and 2IC.
Riflemen - using a spare Revell rifleman to make up the required number (front right).
MG 34 teams.
Optional extras for Battlegroup or core supports for Rapid-fire. Two sustained fire tripod MG 34s and an 81mm mortar team.
These guys seem to be from the same range as the metal figures.
These guys are from the Armourfast German MG set.
These guys are from the Armourfast Mortar set.
Both Armourfast teams were gifts from Ian, repainted to match better with my other forces.
Thanks for looking.
Nice one Mr C, another great addition to the ever growing WW2 collection. Don't recognise the figures either. Maybe stick a picture on one of the Facebook groups to see if anyone knows.
ReplyDeleteCheers Mr P. I think StephenC has it though with Platoon 20 from ERM. Just looked on the site and most of the figures seem to be there. A somewhat eclectic selection of figures from the packs available though.
DeleteCheers, Andy
They were from Ian so that explains the eclectic mix :-)
DeleteSome of the figures look like Platoon 20, from East Riding Miniatures. There are photos on the ERM website.
ReplyDeleteThanks Steven, I think you've nailed it. Odd selection of figures from the packs but I think all in my collection fit one or two figures from each pack. Good call.
