Airborne Royal Engineers
Here is the small squad of engineers that I have planned to include with my British paras for a good while now. Their transport, an airlifted universal carrier, has been waiting for them for quite some time, but I am happy that both have seen action on the tabletop for the first time together already here .
The models come from the metal British Paratrooper Section box from Warlord. I used some of the other models to flesh out my Intelligence Officer's team but kept these five aside to make engineers. My aim is to use them to remove obstacles- barbed wire and minefields- on the table, so chose the grenade throwers to represent this tenuously. A LMG team and SMG armed NCO complete the squad. In some games, I will swap out the LMG team and add the flamethrower team I have also painted- they cost the same points and allow for bunker/ strongpoint assaults also.
I like how these guys came out. Overall, I feel these are some of the best British airborne I've painted. Brilliant- I'm nearing the end of the army and am finally getting the hang of it!
