80 year Anniversary

Sat reading the Pendraken Forum. One post caught my eye about the 80th Anniversary about some Naval Battles fought in 1942 in the Far East. This got me thinking (not really into Naval Battles) but I know there was plenty of fighting in 1942 especialy on the eastern Front. So a quick delve into the books and lo and behold Operation Case Blue took up most of the fighting from June 28th 1942 to November 24th 1942. So time to get the books out and start watching a few films. One unit that has already piqued my interest is the 369 Croatian Reinforced Infantry Regiment. This unit was attached to the 100th Jager Division during Stalingrad fighting at the Red October Factory and the Mamayev Hill. Ill post some pictures later.

New Recruits

just had some new recruits delivered today. 2 packs of Dwarf Warriors, 1 pack of Rangers,6 packs of Orcs,2 packs of Orc Archers ,1 pack A piece of Orc Wolf Riders, Giant Wolves and Trolls. all to be painted up for my Orc/Dwarven Wars. these fogures are From Copolestone castings and are really good.

Also new in s some resin figures from a German company called Excellent Miniatures these are printed but seem to hold thier details after been painted. Ill try and get some close up shots after I've painted them. these are also Dwarves with a few Orcs to try them out. I've also bought a beast to try out as a proxie Balrog.
