All Hell Let Loose 8

After a recent showing in this years Analogue Painting Challenge here are some 20mm scale WW2 German AFV of mixed utility and purpose.

First up is a Sd Kfz 7 (8 tonnes) from Britannia Miniatures.

Next is a Jagdtiger also from Britannia Miniatures. A true behemoth of a model the scale of which will be shown in some "family" portraits coming soon.

Next are a pair of Pumas (Sd Kfz 234/2) from Frontline Wargaming and whilst not as detailed as the Britannia models they paint up well and look good on the gaming table. Well, they will when they get used in the coming year...

There will be some more completed pictures to follow shortly along with some ongoing work in progress pics as well.

Cheers for now

Seasons Greetings to One and All

Back to the Brushes 97

Some more work in progress pictures for the Painting Challenge. First up some more 20mm scale WW2 German vehicles with two smaller cats to add to the collection.

This time the colour scheme is going to be limited to the base colour with some touches here and there of a dark brown. The brown has to be knocked back yet by stippling the base colour on top before the final dry brushing takes place. These two Pumas will also be used in Disposable Heroes and Memoir '44 in the New Year and are from Frontline Wargaming.

Another transport for Disposable Heroes below which is a Sd Kfz 11 (3t). This will have similar camouflaging as the previous transport model which is now completed.

Next up are more New Israeli troops for Critical Mass. In the picture below two of the figures have been previously painted and will not be included in the tally for the challenge.

These are missile support bases and the bases below are standard troops which will make up a half company if needed. The figures again are all from Ground Zero Games and will be used as ARC forces when gamed with.

Lastly, there are some stands of Confederate Infantry for Fire and Fury. The figures are from Blue Moon's range and will also see use for Battle Cry in the future. Trying to keep the painting varied with this year's challenge so hence the variety of periods. There will be some Ancients coming in the New Year along with more of the same. Tucked up in the top centre is the finished objective marker and crew for Critical Mass which is now waiting on basing.

That's all for now, 

Cheers

Back to the Brushes 96

Well after just over two months with only one singular post here are a few work in progress pictures of some of the first pieces for this years Analogue Painting Challenge. Below is an objective piece from  Critical Mass Games with crew from Ground Zero Games. A quick and easy approach to these 15mm scale figures should see a few finished over the next three months along with a dozen or so varied grav tanks to support the grunts.

Next is a very old Citadel Chaos Warrior from back in the day, another two of his brethen are waiting on being based after a good session at the brushes the other night. It is good to be back to painting after two months out.

Two javelin armed skirmishers from Gripping Beast to add to the Generic Arab army that was started earlier this year. Hopefully a few more stands will join the previously painted figures soon.

Next up are two pieces from Britannia Miniatures. A Jadgtiger and a transport of some type, the name escapes at present. To go with these there will be another ten or so armoured pieces including some cats and scout types as well. A great scale to paint in and look forward to completing these for use in Disposable Heroes and Memoir '44

Hopefully, there will be some more work in progress pictures to follow. The plan with the challenge this year is to keep every thing fresh by not sticking to the one period or scale. There may be a few changes along the way and perhaps some stuff to add to the mix of the challenge that is well under way all ready.

Sorry, by the way for the lousy pictures, very poor lighting the other morning and limited time resulting in quick snaps that aren't the best.

Thats all for now

Cheers.
