Operation Rebase complete

Well I have now rebased all my existing British Infantry onto coins or washers so they can all skirmish. I have one smg guy left to paint and then its online ordering time. I've worked out what I'm buying next and I'm going to be having a bit of painting marathon over the next few months. I'm trying to also avoid getting sucked into starting a Zulu era British infantry company, must resist.

Base of fire


Just finished my Artizan British Infantry HMG. Great little model I still need to complete the base but other than that its done. I probably wont do the base for a while as I also need to rebase about 20 or so Riflemen who make up 1st and 2nd platoon of my SFF company.

Decisions

I'm a bit stumped at the moment. I'm painting one of Artizans British Infantry HMG teams, which is fine but I found this little collection of Artizan Cultists in a cupboard that I had forgotten I had. I think they must have been an impulse buy. I'm thinking about painting them but I can't decide on a colour scheme. In other news once I have a bit of cash together I will be making some more purchases from Artizan and Musketeer Miniatures to finish of my first company of SFF for "A Very British Civil War".

That little Belgian man


Just finished painting this superb model from Artizan Designs. Really enjoyed painting it, I particularly enjoyed doing the hanky and bow tie. Next up a Brit Inf HMG team, bit of contrast I know.

1:1 scale model



Well in an effort to relive my childhood I have spent the afternoon building a fort with my wife. She however insists on referring to it as "the chicken coop". Anyway a little shot of my work, the outer walls are large pallets dug into the ground supported by large posts sunk into the ground and held in place with postcrete. A very nice little diversion on a sunny afternoon.

Reinforcements


Just finished the next batch of Artizan Brti Infantry for my VBCW force. Obviously there regulars who have joined the SFF on the promise of Cider for all. I still need to base these guys and re-base the other 10 or so infantry I have based. After that I have an Artizan HMG team to paint. Then its onto shopping. I'm thinking some militia figures from Artizan/Empress Miniatures and Musketeer as a start.

All present and correct sir


Most of the above miniatures were painted and based with Platoon/Company actions in mind. However I have recently gotten into "1938 a very British civil war" and I'm going to press these guys into action. I haven't decided what army I'm going to create yet, some pondering of the source books will ensue I think. But for the moment I will be re basing the group stands so they match the guy based differently to the left of the photo. Then I will move on and paint the other 3 stands that I haven't painted yet. After that, I will hopefully have made an army choice and can go on a bit of shopping spree. Never know I might even buy some white spray paint and finish my Tomb Kings Skeleton unit, sufficed to say that army is now on hold.
