Neu Deutscher Bund SternTruppen

Ok, my setting is being reworked because of a flaw in my star system generation spreadsheet. But I have finally managed to paint a full company of miniatures. Although some additional touches are still needed, they're table ready.

I used GZG's NSL Panzergrenadiers for the figures.

This company will see use as both SternTruppen and Panzergrenadiers, depending on the scenario.  

The still need transport. The plan is to provide them with hover vehicles and for the SternTruppen some suitable dropships and/or drop pods. (I have my sights set on some GZG Gauntlet series vehicles).


The force comprises 1x HQ Platoon, 1x Support Platoon, 1x Powered Armour Platoon, and 2x Rifle Platoons. (Total Strength 112 men, not including vehicle crews when they arrive)

 The whole company conducting a drying in the field exercise.

HQ Platoon includes:
1x HQ Squad of 2x three man fire teams
1x Admin Squad of 2x three man fire teams
1x Scout/Sniper Squad of  3x two man recce teams
1x Scout/TAC Squad of 3x two man recce teams
1x Scout Bike Squad of 2x two man recce teams

Support Platoon includes:
1x Mortar Section of two tubes with crew
1x AGL Section of two guns with crew
1x RFAC Section of two guns with crew

 Support Platoon: AGL Section on the left, RFAC Section in the centre and Mortar Section on the right.

Powered Armour Platoon includes:

Rifle Platoons include:
1x Command Squad of 2x three man fire teams
3x Rifle Squads of 2x three man fire teams

 The shoulder patch on the left shoulder is a just a dab of red with a white dot. 

It is meant to represent a white eagle on a red field. 

 In the background you cans ee some of the cheapest products I could find, Mod Podge and White Knight Clear Acrylic Sealer (Satin Finish)

I just can't seem to get the skin tone to work, I think the paint is too thin. 

Maybe a few more coats will do the trick.

The picture quality is a little improved as I took these outside, but not in direct sunlight.

They still need some transport and, now that I think of it, an RAP. 

I'll post up stats for Tomorrow's War asap, but for now.....
