LRDG SAS Infantry complete mkl







The LRDG and SAS infantry is based and ready for the new Burning Empires raiding rules. I used the rocks and sand I acquired north west of Siwa. I first put on the rocks then added the sand. I thought it might make the rocks a bit more embedded in the sand. Also, I wanted to leave a border so I painted it all with GW graveyard earth and left a bit of a border. I started not liking the "sloppy" border but in the end was pretty happy. Let me know what you think.

LRDG SAS forces in the Western Desert!! mkl













The LRDG SAS forces are in the Western Desert. This is a bit of a WIP type picture as I did not finish some of the forces before I headed out to the Siwa Oasis in Egypt in June of 2011. This place changed hands throughout the Desert Campaign. It was a base for the LRDG (Long Range Desert Group) while Siwa was in Allied hands. This picture was taken just a bit NW of Siwa and just to my right was the old road out of Siwa going west. This road was used by British forces. most probably some LRDG trucks rolled by carrying some SAS troopers starting their way on a long journey in the desert to harass Axis forces in Libya. There are enough forces here to make either a full LRDG force or full SAS force. Now just to finish up the jeeps and trucks and I am set. Oh yeah, the infantry is not based at this time because I am going to use the sand gathered here for the basing. Nothing like taking a bit of the ground your forces traveled and having it as your basing material on your miniatures.
