28mm Japanese Bunkers 3

HEAVY WEAPON TEAMS 

So Santa's been and left me some nice presents...to assemble and paint. I hope you all got presents from him. 

I got a few new Warlord Japanese (SNLF) and US Marines plastic spues, 8 medium mortars (for my Marines and Japanese), 4 Japanese HMG's and a field office set. 

The Assault Group produce really good individual weapons - they provided the mortars and HMGs.  Its a great great way to supplement/support your armies. I also got several figure packs from them via Santa! 

The build to date is looking like this..

28mm Japanese HMG and mortar position with all the usual foliage added I went a little larger than normal just to give it some table space.

It has a nice low profile but I did hide a couple of magnets in there ground cover (middle and far left) just in case I would like a few palm trees (with magnets) added later.

The mortar from the rear.


The HMG has a nice low profile well protected look.



So next up I then mounted some (3 off) smaller support teams (made from a mix of plastic and metal figures) onto mdf circles to offer a variety of options.

                             Pictures below of the back two teams...

                             

                            
This ammo needs a dark wash - but you get the idea. 

I also acquired the 70mm mountain gun for support. 

I placed the range finder at the left hand side of the gun.



and I then had enough parts for two more HMGs teams...

                             

The team bellow are re-deploying/carrying the HMG ( I have still to assemble it) - but just to let you see them!

I also got 4 flamethrowers for my SNLF from Santa.

So a great Christmas haul - the SNLF will be in the region on 90 Figures now and with these additions quiet a strong force.
I cannot wait to see them on a table - and speaking of tables.
