Big batch of Microarmor Tanks, Guns, and troops completed

Finished off the Painting Challenge with one last gasp of miniatures painted.  A mix of GHQ Ultra-Moderns and WWII.  With a few odds and ends thrown in.  Most of these have been on the painting table for months waiting for some inspiration to finish them off.

2 SU-152
2 SU-122
4 2lber portee
5 T-55 MV
10 FV 432
6 CMP carriers for 25 lber
6 25 lber limbered
6 25lber unlimbered
60 individual ultra-modern US (20 3 man squad stands)
34 individual ultra-modern US riflemen in standing and nealing poses
5 Individual Ultra-Modern US troops sitting and firing (regular rifles I think)
5 Javelin launchers
15 Laser Designators
14 leaders
24 MG crew (12 2 man teams)
12 Mortar crew and mortar (6 2 man teams)
9 LMG men  (SAW I imagine)
10 Snipers with what appears to be Barret 50 cal sniper rifles

WWII (green based infantry)
12 leaders
12 standing riflemen
12 grenade throwers (why do companies insist on making so many of these?)
16 SMG armed troops (appears to be Thompson)
12 Kneeling Riflemen


Totals
29 Vehicles
12 Guns
252 Infantry

The "Squad/Platoon" stands.  These are based for Fistful of Tows and the modern version of Fireball Forward (whenever it is released).  Also very useful for IABNM.

Detail shot of a squad stand.

25 LBers and transport.

CMP transport for the 25lbers and FV-432s for IABNM.

FV 432 and T55MV

T55MV, 6 lber Portee, SU152 and SU122

Laser Designators

Ultra-Modern US Riflemen.

Barret Sniper rifles.  Probably some others in there but my eyes have enough trouble making out the difference between a sniper and an LMG at this scale...

SAW gunners

Mortars

MG Teams

Leaders.  GHQ's normal over-abundance.  Better too many than too little though.

WWII US SMGs.  I went with the lighter color jackets for this batch vs my earlier attempts.  All of these guys are based for Skirmish gaming so I wanted them to have a little more pizzazz (Chain of Command in 6mm Anyone?)

The mandatory grenade throwing guys.  I generally dislike them, a few is OK - 6 total would have been good...

Standing Riflemen

Kneeling Riflemen

The commanders once again.  Unlike the Grenade guys extra commanders almost always come in handy.


Plans for next year, paint the remaining (considerable) lead pile, put together the paper terrain I purchased in a sale a couple months back, and play play play...
