Late arrival

At Christmas just gone my good lady wife bought me the WW1 trench raiders set from Musketeer Miniatures. For some reason, laziness I expect, I never got around to painting this chap. Any way I painted him up in a couple of hours this afternoon and am pleased with the results. I have just ordered another WW1 infantry squad from Musketeer so will be adding to my little early ww1 infantry force.

I'm also toying with buying a set of WW1 ottoman infantry in fezzes from Gripping Beast, although I can't think of a practical use for them at the moment so I'm resisting.

Angry Verger

Towards the end of this month I'm going to a games day where I will be fielding an Anglican League force in a VBCW game. I don't have a particularly Anglican themed force but I have a couple of character figures who can quite nicely lead my fairly generic infantry force. I had this model from Paul Hicks knocking around and thought it would do very nicely as a fervent and angry verger!

Fun and quick to paint I think this model will fit in quite nicely on the day.

Ork Kebab

I have had this model of a wounded ork knocking around for a while now ( I think he came as an "extra" in another GW kit) but I didn't know what to do with him. As I didn't have anything else to paint this afternoon I sat down and came up with this little diorama. I really like how it turned out, especially as I don't paint GW fantasy miniatures very often.

I spent a little time making one of the Skeletons eyes glow, which I think looks quite good and gives the model a bit of an evil look.

I think I might build a slightly larger base to mount this on in the future, but I'm happy with it for the moment.

More Commandos

I spent yesterday evening finishing off my commando section. Completed the last 5 of my commandos from Artizan Designs. I like how they turned out and think they will fit quite nicely into any WW2 or VBCW force I may raise in the future.

Commandos

Just finished painting up the first 5 models for my 10 man commando section. The models are from Artizan Design and are up to their usual high standard. A nice result and they only took me a few hours yesterday evening.

Nice Beret

Painted up this other new Paul Hicks figure for my VBCW force this morning. Should fit into a Militia squad quite well.

Bow ties are cool

Just finished painting this model from Paul Hicks. Really sharp detail as usual from Mr Hicks, I like how the model turned out although for a while I was not sure I liked my colour scheme.
