Blood Bowl Elven Union Team

                       

                                                  

On a bit of a Bloodbowl roll at the mo. Well helped a little by Kraken miniature Painting who has done a great job on my Elven Union Team.

I completed the basing and added a bit of colour to various models hair as well as the decals and makeup on the female Line Elf.

So here are my Tor Sethai Seahawks from the coast of Tirannoc in Ulthuan.

Star Wars day 2021

Happy Star Wars day to all you Darths, Leia’s and Padawans. 

Blood Bowl Ogre Team

So after a long hiatus due to mostly chasing the black dog around and been maxed out with real life and the military, I have finally sat down and completed my Ogre Blood Bowl team. 

Took me a while longer than I’d liked and still not 100% happy as my eyes are getting worse since turning 50, and painting Gnoblars was a struggle. 

However here they are. 

The Ash Mountain Stormers

15mm WW2 German - O Group

So here we are - The UK's 3rd National Lockdown. Seeing as during the second I competed my 15mm British force for the forthcoming O Group ruleset by ReisswitzPress (Two Fat Lardies) I used this 3rd Lockdown to smash through my German force. 

Again I had a large amount of German 15mm Armoured vehicles already which I used for TANKS and What a Tanker so with a few more purchases (always need to buy more shineys eh?) I assembled a large force and went to work painting them. 

As stated in my post for the British - O Group works along the lines of Battalion Command and uses the Company (made up of Platoons), with Company Commanders  as the main combat element. Added to this are Battalion and Company support, i.e attached Tank Platoons, Anti Tank Guns, HMG sections etc.

I have based my efforts on various German elements used during the Normandy and beyond Campaign. 

These are the results of this second part of my frenetic project, now onto a US Airborne force!

Christmas 2020 Swag post

I hope everybody had the best Christmas they could in these unusual times and managed to get a good pile of new shineys. 

I don’t think I did too bad this year. 

New X-Men and Brotherhood of Mutants for Marvel Crisis Protocol.

Necromantic and Undead Bloodbowl teams.

The British 5th Infantry Division book (my Granddad served with them all through WW2)

Finally (after many many years) got a copy of the (very hard to get) 21st Panzer Division book.

And (Osprey) always a good read and a bit of research for my forthcoming 15mm Luftwaffe Field Division additions to my 15mm German 'O' Group force.

A Merry COVID Christmas 2020

As a Christmas Day like no other begins, I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas.

2020 has been a challenging year for us all, with everybody affected in some way by Covid-19.

My thoughts go out to everyone who has been affected by this pandemic, be it though the illness directly, or as a result of the associated financial, social and emotional strain.

This year however has also been filled with fantastic stories of kindness and creativity and personally during this year in my own struggles with the pandemic; extra duties and commitments in my military career, not being in the mood to blog much and chasing the black dog away occasionally, a message out of the blue by friends and members of the gaming community has helped me no end.

So regardless of if you’re a festive Grinch, a staunch Santa supporter or a devout religious believer.

HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS

 and i hope you and your loved ones are safe and well.

15mm WW2 British - O Group

So to make this Second National Lockdown a bit more bareable I thought I would try and complete a full 15mm WW2 force for the forthcoming ruleset - O Group by ReisswitzPress (Two Fat Lardies)

I had a large amount of British 15mm Armoured vehicles already which I used for TANKS and What a Tanker so with a few more purchases (always need to buy more shineys eh?) I assembled a large force and went to work painting them. 

O Group works along the lines of Battalion Command and uses the Company (made up of Platoons), with Company Commanders  as the main combat element. Added to this are Battalion and Company support, i.e attached Tank Platoons, Anti Tank Guns, HMG sections etc.

I have based my efforts on elements of the 11th Armoured Division and although my infantry will depict the 4th Battalion Kings Shropshire Light Infantry of 159th Infantry Brigade, in game they could be used to depict any Battalion from any Brigade/Division.

These are the results of this frenetic project, now onto a German force!

2 x Churchill Tank (6th Guards Armd Bde)  and Achilles (75th Anti-Tank Regt RA) 

6 Pounder Anti-Tank Guns and Carden Lloyd Carriers (4th KSLI Support Coy)

Universal carrier Platoon (4th KSLI Support Coy) HMG Carriers (Independent MG Coy) and RA FOO

RA FOO, (4th KSLI) Battalion Command, Battalion Mortar and HMG Stands

Infantry Company x 3 (4th KSLI) with Company Command and PIAT stand

Sherman Troop with Firefly (23rd Hussars)

Sherman Troop with Firefly (3rd RTR)

2 x Cromwell and 2 x Comets (2nd Northamptonshire Yeomanry)

11th Armoured Division elements
