Fallschirmjäger Tank Hunters


I decided to add some more support options to my force with some important anti- tank options in the form of a couple deadly panzerschreks and some nasty panzerfausts plus a Panzerbüchuse 38 Anti-tank rifle followed up by 5cm mortar team to keep the enemies heads down.



I had two of same models for the panzerfausts but by changing up their uniform I think that really helps for them not to look like repeats.




You may have noticed that all the Crusader miniatures are sculpted in the early war uniforms and I kept them that way without any late war camo. I did this for two reasons one being that troops wearing early uniforms works fine in the late war and second at some point I also want to build an early war Fallschirmjäger force and the Crusader figures will help towards that goal.


I hope this overhead shot works as I wanted to better show what the base and the prone figures look like that is a bit harder to see when looking head on.



As usual for my 20th century figures and beyond  I used mostly Vallejo paints and MIG  pigments for the dusting to get the colors I want.



Some people speculate what theater I designed these for and mostly it was for Normandy with some Italian veterans and of course Italy itself.

I still have some more fallschirmjäger on the way, but starting to see a small crack of light at the end of the tunnel, however still some ways to go yet before the job is done.

Thanks for viewing!
