More Fallschirmjäger

Ok, I can't stop painting these, everything else is on hold till my enthusiasm dries up. The Winter smocks were probably a mistake as I can't see any evidence they were ever issued, splinter camouflage from now on.

On the topic of splinter camo, previous attempts have never been that good, however my discovery of this guide and some new brushes have given some very pleasing results.

Ardennes Fallschirmjäger

Another longer term project, these are somthing i've wanted to do for a while. I was inspired following a game of Flames of War. The original idea was to do these in 15mm for FOW, however as the book isn't out yet I thought i'd paint some up of the bucketfull I have in 28mm.

1938 Game 3

We had another good game of 1938: A very British Civil War on Saturday, the Communist Sailors of Hull tried to recapture their Commisar from my BUF (though why excatly they were trying to do this after he shot the comunist hero Burt Brown in the last game is beyond me). This was our biggest game so far with 30-40 miniatures per side and the arrival of the communists T-26 Tank.

Full battle report will be linked as soon as Bad Dave has written it.

A Brave BUF Sentry runs to call reinforcements from the nearby telephone box.

40K

Had an excellent game of Wahammer 40k last Saturday (yes it's taken me this long to put the pics up). My Eldar facing off against my good friend Lukes Imperial Guard. Lets just say I wasn't prepared for the horrors that awaited me in the new Imperial Guard codex (orders!) The excellent scenery was also made by Luke.

Maureen the Transvestite Medic

Another couple of Militia painted; unfortunately the conversion of the British Soldier into a female medic has gone somewhat awry. The MG 34 gunner conversion is better though (gun was originally an MG42).

Models again are from Bolt Action.

The ranks are swelled

Two new militia members, not sure what I'm gonna do with the armbands yet, my painting skill is not up to lightning bolts in that size!

The Reverend and Pal

I was going to use these two to lead the Sons of Crowley, but now i'm not so sure. I'll probably incorporate them into the militia units that are next on the painting table.
