Afghani Taliban Command

These are the Britania miniatures I bought at the beginning of the summer, this will represent my command unit for Force on Force- the leader, spotter (with mobile phone), personal guard with ak47 and support weapon. The bases just need texturing.

I think this 15mm figure is from Critical Mass - I think I bought it in a pack from Recon at Pudsey last year.
I finished this during the summer but forgot to post the image. I intend to use him as some sort of commander for my Tomorrow Wars campaign - I guess he will be some sort of commander of the droids.

Finished another 19 droids, currently finishing the bases, this should see me right for the invasion forces.

Also finished these 2 zombie hunters for The Scene. Also finished a couple more but seem unable to find the photo's I took of them.

So currently on the painting card are the 19 15mm droids whose bases need finishing, 3  X 20mm gunners for the WW2 pack howitzer, 4 X 20mm Taliban, 2 X 15mm zombie hunters and a couple of 15mm Federal agents.

Just finished...

Just finished these NAC figures from GZG. These are for my Tomorrows War forces. Although not many posts lately - darn real world stuff - I have manged to make some slow progress on my projects. After nearly a year on my painting desk the Hundred Years War peasants from Donnington  Miniatures are finally finished - there are 8 bases complete but need to order another 20 figures to make it up to 12 bases. I had photographed these but I think my camera is coming to the end of it's working life as most of the shots were blurred.

Hopefully I'll get some shots this weekend and add them.

Also completed are 16 of the Droids, previously posted here. Finished some of The Scene's Zombies in body bags plus some of the body bags.

Started on the last 6 bases of the Hundred Years English\Welsh Longbow.

I ordered a bunch of Afghans from Grubby / Britannia Miniatures that turned up last week, plus some extras that Andy had added because he'd been away when I placed the order, the order wasn't even overdue - that's great customer service.

As a recent returnee to wargaming I'm finding it very difficult to stay focused on one particular gaming project, I'm buying the figures but strugling to find time and the inclination to paint them - I'm spending more time looking at the pretty pictures in the rule books.

Normal service resumed

Got the lamp fixed.

Have finished a few more figures, the Bristish Force on force unit is nearly finished (all Britania Miniatures). I just need to find a .50  cal with gunner and assistant and a couple of figures for the spotters (MFC & JTC). The grass tufts are from tajima1 the service was excellent - ordered sunday received tuesday.

 Britania Miniatures - UK 16th Air Assault Brigade

The initial alien invasion race for Tomorrows War is now finished, all figures are from GZG. I've added 3 walkers with dual cannons.

Also finished a couple of flyers:

And finally finished the heavy walker.

 

And the whole squad together:

Also placed an order with Hovels for the 20mm farm house and out building. These turned up friday, I've already prepared and undercoated them.

I've added a new page to list my aims for this year and the progress I've made. I've also painted 14 strips of ECW musketeers for my Adwalton project - these need basing.

Next up, probably, a GZG 15mm module with air defence cannon.

Force on Force - Siege at Musa Qala

These are Britania Miniatures 81mm Mortar team.

Now the Gunner with 51mm Mortar.

Force On Force - Iraqi Forces

Got these miniatures from Elheim. These are lovely sculpts I enjoy painting figures from Elheim.

First up Iraqi Army.

The uniforms look a bit bright under the flash.

Next up the Fedayeen.

Force on Force - US Troops

My US troops for Force on Force - however I made the school boy error of painting the Starts & Stripes patch in colour rather than the grey/black patches issued. I was going to overpaint them but decided I liked them - one thing I'm not is a button counter.

These are the Mars figures that I presented back in April part finished. They've had a couple of outings.

Force On Force

Really enjoying reading the rules. I sort of like the idea of the simple 4+ die rolls, but have had to place a large order for d10, d8 & d12 dice - ebay has made some money out of me today!! You need at least 10 of each to make things easy.

I've prepared all the Mars figures for painting and also based them all (20mm X 20mm X 2mm MDF bases). I've undercoated 15 of the U.S. troopers and started painting 10 of them.

So far painted the uniforms. Not too sure about the shade and the amount of brown. Need to add the camo to the body armour and add hilites to the weapons and then shade.

Force On Force

Here are the Modern US Soldiers produced by a company called Mars. You get 30 figures for £3.99. There are 15 different poses spread across 2 sprues, there are 4 sprues in total. Think these will do nicely to start my Force on Force units.

Force On Force Update

Got an email from Amazon this morning saying the rules were going to be late in arriving and weren't sure when they were going to be delivered. Boo !!!

Got home this evening and have recieved another email from Amazon telling me the item is in stock and has been despatched - should have the rules by tomorrow... Yey!!!

On the down side it means I have to get a move on painting those figures, building the humvees and building terrain.

Medieval Mounted Knights

Some Museum Miniatures' mounted knights.

Museum Miniature Archers.

 

The archers are for a psuedo English force and the mounted knights above are for the oposing 'French' force. Using FOG rules I hope to re-fight the battle of Crecy this year - usual thing though other new interesting projects get in the way...

According to Amazon the new Force on Force rules should be despatched today with delivery for tomorrow, so I'll need to get those US & Mujahideen forces painted.

New Order Placed

Placed my order with Irregular Miniatures for the remaining Russian & British Crimean pieces for Inkerman. Nearly finshed another 40 bases of the Russian - just the flags to finish, give the minatures a gloss and paint the bases (sounds like a lot when I type it - but that's the beauty of 2mm only half an hours work).

Finished basing some 15mm Museum Miniatures' Medieval Lancers for my Storm of Arrows army.

Also finished the 15mm Special forces figures to do battle with the zombies...

Bought some 1/72 plastic (Mars). Modern U.S. Soldiers & Mujahideen at the weekend for Force on Force. The figure detail is quite good but there is a lot of flash to clean up. But at only £3.99 for 30 U.S. Troops and £4.99 for 40 Mujahideen I don't think I can complain - plus I don't think there are any unusable models in either set. Started painting the U.S. - not too sure I've got the colours right, looking to do the 2001 desert camo pattern used in Afghanistan.

Force On Force

 Saw this game at York the other week and managed to have a flick through a sample copy and thought it looked interesting, placed my order with Amazon also preordered the Vietnam expansion which is due out October.
