American Joins the Fight: US Airborne Platoon

Next up is an American US Airborne Platoon from Warlord Games. I did not realized until I started painting the figures that two of the figures were actually British Airborne so my first two squads have 9 men each. I was not satisfied with my painting as I did not think it was up to my usual standards; however they look great from a gaming distance.

HQ:

1st Squad:

2nd Squad:

3rd Squad (Which I think turned out the best):
