A new start - Flames of War

[LegendFX]

The basing on these is spot on, the foliage is ace and fits really nicely.

Very subtle and believable.

Thanks man.

I decided to use smaller, but more clumps, as you would see from a higher altitude.

But yes, Ive got a pair of P47's commin up.

Stay tuned.

The first REAL artillery piece for my Grenadiers:

Doing the basing was really hell, but it is done 1 down, 3 more to go!

[Red Skullz]

Very nice arty piece there mate Since you`re done with the first one the remaining three should go fast.

[donuter]

Very nice. Now these will fire some real ordanance

[Kriegfreak]

I'm quite pleased with that Artillery, its very well done sir.

[LegendFX]

Well...FINALLY, I got around to painting up some paint American forces. This time in the form of 3 P-47's

[Magos Errant]

Nice job on the P-47s! Good to see that you haven't forgotten about this log completely.

Here kitty kitty, (tigers beware)... Nice so far!

Nice job on the P-47s! Good to see that you haven't forgotten about this log completely.

I know, I should be ashamed. But as punishment, I'll finish another 2 M10's tonight!

I dont collect flames of war but those models are cool and dont sound so bad!!!!!!!!!!

Yays! Shame is always a good motivator.

Here are some pics of the game we played yesterday. Admittedly, most of it is my stuff.

German Horde advancing:


AMerican Tanks waiting to be deployed:


"Roger that sir, target aquired"


"Bombs away!"


Lousy destroyed M10's


Sherman Platoons saving the day:

[donuter]

Looking cool man. Any new models or has it groud to a halt

[LegendFX]

Besides the planes and the extra 2 M10's, no new models yet. Still got a ranger platoon, and a machine gun platoon to do, and then I painted up all my Americans.

Well, almost all of them.

Got my hands on about 50 to 60 modern 15 mm Americans from Peter Pig productions, and will be painting those up for our new venture, Ambush Alley. ( http://www.ambushalleygames.com )

I did a test mini last night, but I am not sure about the colours. I'm never one for extreme realism. Bordering on something that might look like the real thing is usually good enough for me, as long as it looks cool. But something just isn't quite........right

Anyway, here is the test mini. Isn't he cute?

[donuter]

He looks shocked to be in the real world. Maybe slightly lighter camo?

[LegendFX]

Ghehe, he was going around the WW2 basecamp and was like "Wot the fudge did I just run into." Hence the surprised look in his face.

But yeah, I think its just a little too dark. The colours are there, but its too shaded. I'm going to try a little less of that, and a little less dominant camo as well.

More pics to follow.

[LegendFX]

And another update in the form of a new test mini. I think the colours look a lot better now.

[donuter]

Perfect. exactly what i thinking. How the hell did you get that badge on his shooulder?

[LegendFX]

Very small brush my friend :P A very small brush :P

I am not 100% idle!
