More Red Devils!

Here are some more WW2 British Paratroopers for my Red Devils army that I have been building over the last few months. They are a combination of Warlord and Crusader metal figures and were painted up as part of the Analogue Painting Challenge.
The second PIAT team adds redundancy to the platoon's anti-armour capabilities.  The PIAT isn't that good an anti tank weapon, but its handy to keep the lighter and recon stuff at arms reach.  Having only one team makes it a bit vulnerable, so the extra team should help build a crossfire too.


A fourth Infantry section provides an additional support element to my core three section platoon.  An additional section is a support option in Chain of Command and an extra nine Elite infantrymen are always welcome!

Here is their entry on the Painting Challenge page:
