Other stuff

Just a last catch up post on a few other bits, Flames of War Germans, some Imperial Guard allies for my Dark Angels which are going to be used as Dark Angels fleet security detachments; I'm using Space Marine Scout bodies with Cadian Heads and a mix of weapons.

Also currently working on a set of rules for Vietnam based on Necromunda, it started as a simple rules conversion but the more I get into it the more I'm adding cool ideas. more to come on that later though

Dark Angels Fleet Security Forces

SS Panzers. As used in a Flames of War Tank Aces campaign. My tank ace (on the right) Edward Blach Hader has an impressive number of kills and maxed out his experience halfway through the campaign

A mix of SS infantry and British Paras. More to come later

Tank Aces

At the gaming club we have been playing the tank aces campaign from the flames of war Blood, Guts, Glory book. I went for an SS panzer company many for the fewer tanks needed, for the starting 500 points I get 2 fearless veteran Panthers; my 'ace' Hauptfeldwebel Edwin Blach-Hader has racked up impressive experience and kills in the first round, only having 2 tanks stops kills being spread over other tanks.

Edwin Blach-Hader

The first round of the campaign is coming to a close, my ace skills are a re roll one to hit roll per turn and some ambushes. For the next 200 points I will be taking a third Panther.

Warlord Games Germans

Commision painting now..

One of my recent commissions was for some 28mm Germans, multi part plastic ones from warlord games. They are very nice figures. My client wanting something different opted to have them painted in SS style and heres how they come out. As they aren't SS figures a bit of artistic licence was used.

Late war Germans

I also started a German SS Armoured company which I didn't enjoy playing as they weren't British! so they went on ebay as well

Forged in Battle

A long term project I am working on for another commision is one of each of the range of WW2 models from Forged in Battle Andy's Models has commissioned this www.andysmodels.co.uk (nice discounts on all his range) Below are the British Tanks. In my opinion the models are better than battlefronts, far more detail, easier to construct, they do all have bases though which I like but many don't

Ok yes it has been many whiles since I last wrote anything on here, a busy summer of painting, gaming and Olympics has kept me away. So what's been going on for the last few months? All that follows...

Early War Germans and British

A client asked me to repaint his two rather tank heavy armies, the original painting was rough and I couldn't quite get all the detail out in the new layer of paint.
