Thanks! I’d like to say it was intentional! Alas it was just a fortuitous byproduct! πŸ˜…πŸ€£

Now with added buildings… The next terrain build project needs to be adding those items of scatter terrain that make the world look lived in.

Just added this MMG team to my US platoon. Wonderfully characterful sculpts from W3 Wargaming.

I love how expressive the @warlordgames.com faces are. Many other companies could do woth taking note of this. Heroic proportions are good for adding this sort of character.

Built this wonderful model kit today. I do love a Rubicon kit! Tank Commander is from Trenchworx.

I’m getting real β€œdrive over there I want to hit it with my sword” vibes from this tank commander. A 3d print from a Trenchworks STL file.

There defo needs more wargames presence at the expo! It’s very top level at the moment, the usual big players in the industry (obviously). But the number of tiny rpg stands and small businesses at expo shows how accessible it can be for smaller sellers.

Finished off these 6 chaps. Now for their LMG support and another 6 men, to make a standard rifle squad or a mechanised infantry squad.

I built up 2 LMG teams for a mechanise Infantry Squad. I didn’t want them prone like many so many MG teams, so I kitbashed the new Warlord Airborne LMGs onto GI bodies.

I scraped the elbow patches off and filled gaps around the arms and now they look the part despite also looking very β€œHollywood”.

Played a great game of Bolt Action on Saturday evening. British attacking into the Germans, Normandy, Normandy, June 20, 1944.

Despite ultimately being caught out in the open by a deadly artillery barrage, a well timed German counter attack was able to wallop the British advance.

I’ve been a bit remiss about posting any hobby updates. Truth be told I’m flitting between projects and floundering a bit. I’ve been using different projects to avoid burnout but I need to finish something to feel like I’m achieving…

So today I finished the skin on these GIs.

I used to think that I preferred painting figures than actually gaming with them. Then I realised I was just gaming with the wrong type of people.
