British para squads

Hi all

Here are a couple of british para squads. All figures from bolt action (warlord games). I have yet to complete the bases, but soon. when the brits are done, I have some US airborne and Waffen SS to do.

Very nice.

Any weird units planned to go with these?

Very nice!

I've got that set too and love them.

For some weird units you might want to try.

Counter Cultists - use some extra Paras or even some of the BA Plastic Commandos with Sten Guns. Paint the Berets a different color (maybe black).

MOAA Operative - those plastic commandos could come in handy again, add some magic looking bitz from maybe some fantasy figures. I used a Reaper Chronoscope version of Alice from Resident Evil, as I liked the kukri knife (figuring she's travelled around the world quite a bit), and I'm going to go back and replace the automatic pistol with a revolver from the BA Commandos set.

Q-Section Field Operative - use those versatile plastic commandos again, just give him some more bags to keep all his gadgets in.

The Druid, Greenman and Golem are already represented in official models (if you can still find them) for the occult stuff. No real Q-Section units available yet, except if you want to upgrade a tank which can be done pretty easily with the appropriate 1/48th scale tank kit.

Oh and don't forget that as allies you can use ARPA stuff as long as you field an ARPA Mechanic or OORD Agent and don't go over the limit for allies (I think it's 1/2).

BTW, if you're looking to make some weird units for your SS detachment you might want to check some of the conversion work I did to make a Schutzenkommando SS, Vril Engineer and Kreighexen for some ideas.

Thank you all

and that's some good ideas for some weird war units. I'm defiantly gonna have me a section Q operative.

I'm also gonna make myself a "new" unite. its a SOE operative, you know the British equivalent to the American OSS agent.
