Afrika Korps Army

I decided to whip up some scatter pieces of desert terrain to go with my Afrika Korps.

They’re very basic but would break up a desert table quite nicely!

And now for the final unit of my Afrika Korps army, the Panzer III!

Not 100% sure which variant I’ve built, I think it’s an Ausf J… either way it’s a tank!

The tank commander is magnetised so he can pop in and out.

I will post up a photo of the army in full at some point!

Now for a heavy hitter, the mighty 88! Really love this model, hadn’t done an artillery piece this big before.

I toyed with idea of not putting the gun on a base but decided against it and instead left some of the crew on separate bases.

The decal for the kill tally on the gun shield is an especially nice addition.

This model was a gift from a friend and has made a great addition to my army.

A classic bit of German engineering!

Here is my medium mortar team…

For the weapons teams on larger bases, such as this MMG team, I decided to add some grass tufts to make the bases slightly more interesting.

By the way the sand I’ve used on the bases is from a beach in Crete! A souvenir from my last holiday.

Another small team here, a two man light mortar team.

This is my anti-tank rifle team I made with the plastic kit!

The spotter would make a good forward observer figure too.

Here is one of three infantry squads I have for the force. They consist of an NCO with a submachine gun, an MG34 with loader, and 7 rifleman.

Hi all,

In this  project I’ll be posting photos of  my completed Afrika Korps army for Bolt Action.

Thoroughly enjoyed working through this box and I’m looking forwards to getting some games in with them!

To start, here is the HQ team made from the plastic sprues from the box and a few bits from other kits.
