Things are hotting up: loads of achievements to log. Today's are from: Vidal; Dick Bax; Manuel; Craig Ambler; and Owen (who passes the prestigious 1,000 point mark!).
Today's photo is from Mr Bax: some very nice 20mm Daimler scout cars:
A couple more achievements recorded, this time from Messrs Bax, Humm, Plowman, Kev, Vidal and Slade.
Today's photo is a shot of Mr Plowman's wonderful 28mm Victrix 1815 British Infantry:
Vast numbers of achievements to be recorded today: congratulations on all your efforts.
Today's contributions from: Mark Luther; Vidal; Manuel; Kev; Mr Nissvik; Craig; Mr Weir, Mr Plowman; Alexandros; and Treadhead.
Today's picture is from Jim Weir: his jump-off markers for CoC
A report on the playtest of scenario 2A of the forthcoming late war, eastern front scenario book for IABSM. See the Soviet steamroller in action!
My latest alien race for Q13 are the Chuhuac: velociraptor-like beings from Loud Ninja Games (available in the UK from 15mm.co.uk). Full Q13 army lists and a gallery soon, but here are some pictures of the first infantry squad:
A quick photo-heavy AAR from A-Historian: the tale of the Tu-Hah Bridge.
More loot from the Battlefront 40% sale painted up. This time it's the M577 Command Vehicle.
It's the same few regulars updating their scores, including Kev, who seems to have gone crazy at the painting. So come on the rest of you: get busy!
Achievements today from Benito, Kev, Jon.
Today's photo is more SYW Russian infantry from Kev: he's just churning them out!
People have obviously taken advantage of the Easter weekend to get some painting in. Achievements today from Benito, Kev, and Chris Stoesen.
Those of you got to Salute this year would hopefully have seen the wonderful 28mm IABSM demo game: The Battle of Keren.
There are plenty of individual blog posts about the game, and I have collected five of them together here. Enjoy!
Those of you who encountered me in the latter part of the Salute Day will be aware that I was looking for a 15mm WW2 Russian Orthodox church to serve as a terrain piece for playtesting my late war Eastern Front scenario pack, Bashnya or Bust!
Well I found one!
A Polish company called Wargamer Company were at Salute promoting and selling their game called By Fire & Sword. This game apparently (and I'm quoting their website here) recreates the 17th century wars fought by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth against Turkey, Muscovy, Sweden, Crimean Khanate and Cossacks.
Well Bashnya or Bust! is set in Lithuania, and they had a Wooden Orthodox Church model, so I bought it immediately, and have painted it up ready for Saturday's playtest of scenario 2A.
Cracking terrain piece, really easy to paint, and looks very good. Here are a couple of 'model' shots; more to follow in the AAR that will doubtless follow Saturday's game.
A most welcome resurgence in the number of entries!
Today's achievements are from Alexandros, Kev, Manuel, Jon Y, Matt Slade and Mr Humm.
Here's a second shot of some of Alexandros' Afrika Korps for CoC:
Sometimes I take a note of an AAR and then forget to upload it. Here is one such: Brian Cantwell's Bathtub Primosole Bridge.
This is a very nice report that follows on nicely from the action in the Sicilian Weekend scenario pack.
More models that I picked up as part of Battlefront's 40%-off Vietnam sale: a platoon of five BTR-50 PK armoured personnel carriers.
This is a cracking example of buying stuff that I cannot think that I am ever going to use! Well they were 40% off: bargain!
Actually, they will do for some general purpose sci-fi APCs for Quadrant 13: and will actually fit in with my Aphids very nicely.
Today's entries are from Mark Luther and Jon Yuengling.
Very slow in the run up to Salute. Come on chaps: brushes out!
I have had a packet of Battlefront's Libyan/Italian colonial infantry hanging around in the lead mountain forever, but waiting for various orders to arrive from far, far away moved them slowly to the front of the queue until I really had no choice but to paint them.
These are nice models: the officers and NCOs in particular. I don't think I've quite got the skin colour right, but I do think they will look good on the tabletop. Time to dust off the Operation Compass scenario pack again!
One of the models I picked up as part of Battlefront's 40%-off Vietnam sale was the M42A1 "Duster". This is a lovely model that paints up really well.
Today's entries are from Treadhead, Kev and Jason Ralls.
It's been a quiet week: doubtless everyone savings themselves for Salute this weekend. I'll be there, hovering close to the TFL stand, so do come and say hello.
Superb IABSM AAR featuring a warm-up game for one of the demo games at Salute that will be featuring TFL rules. Beautiful terrain, gorgeous figures: brilliant!
The first update of the new quarter, and loads of achievements to report. The thought of adding to the lead mountain at Salute has obviously galvanised people into action!
Today's entries are from Dick Bax; Mark Luther; Jon Yuengling; Leif Erikson; WillieB; Fat Wally; Jason Ralls; and the Mad Padre.
Today's pictures are from Kev and WillieB.
Here are Kev's 15mm Seven Year War Russian Grenadiers
Some of WillieB's fifty 28mm newly-painted Marines de la Garde Imperiale:
