Irish Guards Battlegroup

After our games with Pendrakens Cold War Commander we decided to try their WW2 version Blitzkreig Commander which we tried using my korean war armies and we were sold ,so we chose late war with myself doing the British . We chose army lists to start as a base for our armies ,I chose the Irish Guards Armoured Brigade for September 1944. I have now finished my basic army but with the sad news arrowhead miniatures are closing down I have ordered quite abit of stuff so I have afew options to choose from. Battle group HQ
3rd Armoured Squadron
1st Armoured Squadron
2nd Armoured Squadron

Korean War Project -nearly there

A few things got in the way pf my forgotten war project ,then Pendraken brought out a specific supplement for Korea which changed the army lists slightly and also took the war from the cold war commander rules to the blitzkrieg commander set ,luckily i have both sets so n0 issue and then Pendraken released loads of new toys for the period included a Psy ops set , so a big order went in. Any way about 80% finished now so some pics of my painted stuff on hills made by myself ,more than a pretty face hey.
