'Reconnaissance' from StephenS: Nuns on the Run!

Hitler is poised to unleash Operation Sea Lion and complete his conquest of Western Europe, but first he needs eyes on the ground to locate or ascertain strategic locations. The stakes are high, so to ensure success he unleashes his new secret weapon:


Nuns! 

Dropped off by a U-Boat under the cover of darkness, these German agents blend in seamlessly with the local population as they reconnoiter the British defenses. Armed, they will also be able to wreck havoc when the German landings begin, or deal with any locals that get a little too 'handsy'.


The Germans can't fail - who hasn't seen a nun with a monocle and a 5 o'clock shadow...




These characterful models are 28 mm miniatures from Warlord Games and will make great objective markers or models for special scenarios. 

Cheers,

Steve

    1. Thanks Curt. It changes all the time, but for these guys it was just Eshin Grey highlights with another finer highlight of Administratum Grey (obviously GW paints with names like that).
