WWII British Airborne Paratroopers

A while back, I ordered some sprues from Warlord Games and they sent along a free sprue of the "British Airborne WWII Allied Paratroopers" from their Bolt Action range. These six stouthearted lads are all made from that one sprue.

The six soldiers are equally divided between three with Lee Enfield rifles and three with Sten Gun SMGs.

  • Beret - Heavy Red
  • Pants - Gold Brown + Heavy Sienna (50/50)
  • Smock - Heavy Grey
    • Gold Brown + Heavy Sienna (50/50)
    • Heavy Sienna
    • Medium Foliage Green
  • Pouches - Stonewall Grey
  • Webbing/Belts/Bottom of Pants - Bonewhite
  • Rifle - Folkart Coffee Latte
  • Rifle metal and full SMG - Gunmetal Grey
  • Wash everything lightly with Brown (Agrax)
  • Redo Bottom of Pants - Bonewhite + Coffee Latte
  • Para Wings on Beret - Bonewhite
  • Boots and base rim - Black

While I don't intend to paint up any more airborne chaps, I guess I could use these in a pulp or superhero WWII game. They came out looking quite nice, but they are time-consuming to paint up.
