I can attest that being off work is amazing. Decorating is well under way and my British Infantry Battalion is now complete. I do not have a pic of it all together as everything here is upside down due to the decorating but my games table will be out shortly so a Battalion snap will be taken and posted. In the mean time here is the HQ company and a few of the men....
The dullness of the pics is a little disappointing but I am working on it. The figures were speed painted on a white undercoat, a wash of Agrax Earthshade and then highlighted. All the guys have a battalion patch and rank insignia, I suppose they could do with a lighter flesh highlight. From box to tabletop this full Battalion took 8 hours which for me is pretty quick. The Germans may well take a little longer.
The Germans are stuck together and based awaiting a black undercoat. Sadly the Plastic Soldier Company order has not arrived yet so no armoured support for either side is available. A trip to my local hobby shop later today may see some cheapo Zvezda reinforcements or even a few Hat figures purchased.
Next challenge will be a small skirmish.
Keep blogging Chaps.
Complete...and beautiful, very nice job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil, they were quick to paint.
DeleteExcellent work are these the new scaled ones or the old original oversized ones?
ReplyDeleteThey are the oversized figures... I had no idea Valiant were rescaling-pretty sad about that as I would have waited before buying.
DeleteThey look superb!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael
