Journey around the painting table

First up some 10mm US marines from Pendraken.

A better picture showing some detail.

Once again 10mm Pendraken. This time DAK.

This time, terrain for Vietnam. Its great what you can pick up from the pet store these days.

  Another from the pet store but this time its finished.

Mexican 2nd regiment form the Mexican American  War. Just the command to complete tucked away with 2 generals with alot to do.

Mississipi Rifles from the Mexican American war and some civilians for the same period.

 

Some horses for the Mexican cavalry and 28mm Sci Fi colonial marines.

Finally some 10mm chariot horses for the Warmaster Elves from Kallistra. The chariots were done ages ago. Sneaking at the back is 20mm Vietnam US marines.

No chance me getting bored anytime soon but the good thing is I am under no pressure so its a good place to be.

Quick visit to Claymore

Quick visit to Claymore.

That is an understatement. I was only their about just over an hour.

I only had time to pick up my pre orders and the items off my list. No chance to see any games unfortunately.

I did pick up everything.Yipee !!!!

More 20 mm Vietnam stuff from Grubby tanks. Just more vehicles, VC sappers and more US marines to fill some gaps. At some point I will take a few months to paint all this.

Marines again. This time 10 mm ones from Pendraken. Mostly some tanks to round it off and some infantry to add infantry upgrades.Also more palm trees.

More secrets of the 3rd Reich from Figures in Comfort. I bought 2 packs of wolf runners, a pinger and controller(zombies to follow at some point !!!!)  and Frau Tear.

With this I can pick any leader figure and add the option of a wolf runner team. So the whole german project coming along very quickly.

Sci Fi troopers from 1rst Corps. Picked up 2 LRG Team and the news crew.

Finally some paint. Foundry Spearshaft and more importantly Base Sand to finish the SOTR. I also picked up vallejo dark sand and iraqui sand for 10 mm Afrika Korps.

SOTR German Platoon finished

Now complete at 50 points. Although it doesn't look you get alot for those points they do look good. I had to repaint Live Wire due to an accident with the spray varnish.

She looked a little grey.

Still managed to also paint Wolfgang Faust and start the mortar team. These will take the platoon over the basic 50 points mark however I do wish to add some variety so will carry on added bits here and there.

With that in mind Maelstrom has another sale thus offering 25% off  the RRP of a few ranges including SOTR. Not alot left for the Germans unfortunately.

However bits added are another 4 infantry and NCO's, panzerfaust team and the master of the hunt.

11 figures for £15.76. Bargain.

Code is WAREHOUSE-MOVE

Plenty of Russkies and USA choices left

Still kicking

PC problems once again has meant I am using a notebook just now.

However I have now my own wargame room with an old desk as a paint station.

Speaking of paint I am nearly finished the Germans for the 3rd Reich; terrain hedges(mostly undercoated) and 20mm US marines for vietnam.

So still busy and had time to order some 10mm Marines from pendraken to go along with the Japs finished some time ago.

I will keep posting but pictures may be a problem until the PC gets a new hard drive.

Another project

Well another project began less than 5 minutes ago. GordonY started this back in April 2011. http://gordonsgaming.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/sotr-project-starts.html Now its my turn. I ordered a similar type of force. Why ! Well Maelstrom Games offered a nice discount so I am actually saving money. Hmmmm !

Gruntz 15mm - Chewk Desert Nomads

Just finished these from Khurasan Minatures to play Gruntz.

Commander

Gruntz Squad - 24 figures painted

Chewkgun (MG)

Chewkzooka ( Bazooka )



Chewbomber ( Mortars ) 

Chewkannon with chewkamel beast of burdon



Drill Tank (APC )

Now all that is required is to work out the stats and make the cards for the game. Not as straight forward as you might think as I need how to use the APC and I am not sure the type of perkzs to pick.                          

                          

                                                                                                                            



A quick update

At last I have finished the force for Gruntz.

It has been a struggle mainly because of a few accidents. After varnishing the special weapons the wind took them and sent them flying down the garden path. So a repaint was required. The basic grunts were also varnished only to stick on the cardboard. I did manage to get them off but I did break the end of a gun.

Finally I just had the pictures to take only to struggle to obtain a good picture and then the batteries ran out.

So only a few pictures available with one taken of an APC before it was finished.

I will now obtain new batteries and take pictures of thw whole force.
