This month has flown in and whilst there have been no posts to date some paint has been moved about a bit.

The first entry for this month shows the start of a 28mm British force for Chain of Command in Italy. The figures are from Warlord Games and are based on the standard rifle platoon for that campaign: 

Platoon Headquarters

Lt with SMG - painted

Platoon Sarg with SMG - painted

PIAT Team with 2 crew

2" mortar Team with 2 crew

Sections one to three

Corporal with either SMG or rifle - one painted

Rifle Team - Six riflemen

LMG Team - Bren Gun with three crew

From left to right - Forward Observer, Bren Gunner, Lt with SMG, Corporal with Rifle

This takes the total this month to: 

4 x 28mm infantry

There will be a few more pics to follow tomorrow and the night after all bein gwell. 

Cheers for now. 

30 Days 30 Miniatures Painting Challenge September 2022

The first of 2022 has been completed and the bench mark has been set at 31 miniatures.

For the 30 Days 30 Miniatures Painting Challenge there is no theme to this, just to paint and complete 30 miniatures regardless of their starting condition or size. 

The outline of the challenge is detailed below, however the main point being to have fun with your hobby.

• To paint 30 figures of all shapes and sizes in 30 days
• The figures can be partly painted at the start as the main point is to complete figures that have been forgotten
• Basing is not necessary to count as completed
• Any scale is good
• Too have fun
• The end date is set by your start date - 30th September will be the end date of this challenge
• To post updates as often as possible
• Lastly to show a roundup post with a group picture of everything.

Hope that you will find this interesting.

Cheers for now

As September starts here is the last of August's 30 days painting challenge.  

An Arab horde from Old Glory in 15mm.

A small piece of terrain for desert themed games in either 6 or 10mm - this started life as a Warbases pond base in 2mm MDF.

The rear rank of crossbowmen from Gladiator Miniatures complete the first two stands or half spear hald crossbow for the Late Crusaders in ADLG. 

What the crows see at the start of the bloody day.

The start of the next half and half unit, alas the spearmen didn't make August's muster. 

This completes August's 30 Days 30 Miniatures and the final tally is: 

27 x 15mm Infantry

1 x 15mm Elephant and crew

2 x 28mm Infantry

1 x 10mm terrain piece

Totalling 31 painted miniatures. 

Will be starting the next challenge tomorrow night. 

Cheers for now.
