I set up a simple diorama today with some of our new World War One figures and I thought I would share it with you. Wounded and prisoners move past a 17cm Minenwerfer emplacement just to the rear of the front line.

Here are some of our new German infantry in combat poses in a set up I did yesterday. Only the standing figure has a base to make the figures easier to use in multiple environments.
The backdrop was painted very quickly with a few colors of spray paint but gives a nice bleak atmosphere.

I have a few views I have not shared of the new 210mm Morser. I think this one shows some of the gun detailing pretty well.
Note that I used our 51021 Gabion sections for the emplacement. This age old technique of weaving together branches and filling them earth was still used in World War One.
The other members of the 210mm gun crew handle the shells. Note the driving bands near the base of the shell and the wicker transport cases with metal tops.
I found the metalwork painted in both field grey and black so we painted two grey and one black for each set.

I think the Morser looks great and I'm sure I will want one when it comes out but the quibble I have is that it's not due out until the Spring. I think it would have made more sense to show it closer to the actual issue date.
