eldannardoWow! No action for almost a month and then two posts in as many days. It must be the Holidays!
A couple of pictures of some Flames of War figures. These are just a scene I set up, not a game. I call it the attack on Sainte Rue-Merde.

I’ve taken the plunge and resprayed all of the Flames of War vehicles that we bought second hand off Paul earlier this year. No stripping – just a coat of Chaos Black, and start all over again. However, it has taken next to no time, to drybrush the desert yellow basecoat on all of them. Just the final camo patterns and little touch ups left to do, and there isn’t much more. Here’s the first three vehicles to begin with – a StuG platoon:
And I’ve been a bit quiet about it, but the Foundry English Civil War figures turned up a month or so ago. I’ve finally got time (it is the school holidays) so I’m slowly basing them up. But I couldn’t resist a test model to paint:
The first Musketeer of Sir John Norton’s Regiment of Foote. Never heard of it? That’s because I made it up. All of my regiments will be fictional for a campaign. It gives me some leeway to make up colours and narratives. Sir John is based upon one of my wargaming colleagues, and will be given a randomly determined personality for the campaign.
Now, some more WWI British to paint…

I’ve been busy with the paint brush in the last couple of days. I wanted to get the Flames of War 88s finished. I wasn’t too concerned with intricate detail in my painting; all I wanted was a result that would look OK on the wargames table. Here is the finished product:
and a close up showing the poor painting on the infantry:
I’ve also been working on a battalion of French Napoleonics using 1/72 HaT figures. I haven’t quite cleaned up the flag yet, but was keen to get the pictures up anyway. I’m going to use the Warhammer rules for them, and thought I’d demonstrate the different formations available. First up – Line:
Next, the Column:
And finally, Square:
I’m quite happy with how they have come out. I’ll do a small division a side with French and probably Austrians (my other favourite Napoleonic side).
Dan’s been busy too, building terrain stuff, more of that next post.
