Just one more Foundry German, again this one has a Warlord Games head. These figures are exactly what you want in ww2 Germans for games like CoC or BA; they wear the high boots, but not the gas mask bag on the chest as some other makers versions. This means that they have the lookContinue reading “Another German…”

German officer
Have had very little time over for painting lately, but managed to do this German officer. I painted him in a early war style uniform but a 1943 style of camo helmet cover. I have prepared a few more figures in a similar style and hopefully will be able to finish them in the comingContinue reading “German officer”
A game, sort of…
This weekend I had the opportunity to try out my gaming boards and new terrain pieces with a couple of old friends. We played a bit of Black Powder but only did two rounds or so before we called it a night. Although the gaming didnt really take off, I was very pleased with theContinue reading “A game, sort of…”
More Russians
The latest additions to the 1808 Russians are Grodno hussars and Velikie Luki grenadiers (they will pass for Azov regt as well). These are small units, which will hopefully be enlarged somewhat in the future. Even so, they are a useful addition to the Russians, as they are still slightly outnumbered by their Swedish andContinue reading “More Russians”
Pz III command tank
I finished a third panzer III intended for the 1943 setting. The tank model is by Waffenkammer and the commander figure by Empress. I left out the side skirts around the turret on this one, but added some of the hull skirts, which is the opposite of what I did with the other two tanks.Continue reading “Pz III command tank”
Hussars
A recently finished two more badly needed Russian hussars. I started with these many months (even years?) ago. They are a pain because every figure requires a bit of remodeling to fit the period (1808). The base models are by Perry miniatures, but the heads have been replaced with period appropriate Brigade Games heads wearingContinue reading “Hussars”
A crazy idea
For my last set of tank riders, I thought of a crazy idea. One of the officer figures I have for my Soviets is a bonus figure that comes with the Warlord Games army book. The bonus figure holds a flag in one arm. I though this was silly at the time, and just removedContinue reading “A crazy idea”
More T34s
These are T34/76s of the model 1943 version, and with the commander’s cupola; basically the very last version of the 76mm gun tank. As far as I understand, this version was first used in the summer of 1943, which is a perfect match for the rest of my stuff. The tanks are resin kits byContinue reading “More T34s”
Terrain making
I generally spend much too much time on painting figures, and too little on doing the terrain for my game board. Ive been trying to change that, doing some river sections, roads and railroad sections. I am also working on expanding the gaming board itself, with a couple of additional smaller boards (not seen inContinue reading “Terrain making”
German lmg team and nco
Another addition to my very slowly growing collection of WW2 Germans. This is a lmg team and a nco, figures are by Warlord Games. Originally, these were sculpted to look like cavalry, but the only thing I needed to do was remove the spurs on their boots and they pass for regular infantry or panzerContinue reading “German lmg team and nco”
