I haven’t quite worked out the process of adding decals to my Flames of War tanks. I am not sure if I should give the models a wash first, or after adding the decals. As for the actual process of applying the decals, there are quite a few articles on…
This model from Forge World is one of my favourite Ork models they have made. I realised recently that since I undercoated it, it has spent way too long on the workbench… well in storage and I really should start thinking about getting it painted…
Mike’s made some great progress on the ironclad model that will be the focal point of two upcoming games at Historicon (F-295 and S-296). The is a 28mm scale model of a confederate ironclad – complete with interior. A lot of detail wo…
Work continues at a slightly slower pace on my home grown Space Marine chapter. Still, any progress is progress! This time it’s a 10 man Blood Angel tactical squad with missile launcher and flamer. These haven’t been based yet as I’m waiting to finish …
I have been painting the Kingdom of Britannia Naval Battle Group for Dystopian Wars. Having finished painting King Richard III and used it in a few games, I realised that I may need some reinforcements. The first of these ships is another Ruler Class …
I mentioned in a previous post that I had got some Prussian reinforcements. One of the three blisters I got was a second Blucher Class Dreadnought to complement the first one I have finished. I did think about changing the turrets to generators, but in…
Another couple of pictures of the Dystopian Wars Prussian Bunker this time with turrets glued into position.
One of the features of the upcoming games at Historicon will be a full model of an Confederate ironclad in 28mm – which means there need to be some crew figures. Redoubt makes a pack of ACW ironclad crew which will fit the need. I will say …
These three Hussar Class Gunships are reinforcements for my Prussians in Dystopian Wars. After washing the resin, I glued the turrets to the three models. I do like the fact that these turrets are not the same as the ones on the Blucher Class Dreadnought.
Here is the Prussian Tower Set out of the blister pack. For many years, the Prussian Empire has been able to intimidate neighbouring territories with their overwhelming strength and infectious influence. Their significance is perpetuated in their Tower…
The Dystopian Wars Prussian Bunker is a large resin model. I was surprised by the lack of detail on this model compared to other Dystopian Wars models I have in my collection. I suspect that this was intentional, especially for the Prussian Bunker whic…
Outside of a few flags and a few more dismounted calvary figs for both sides the Union and Confederate forces I need for the two games Mike and I will be putting on at Historicon (F-295 and S-296) are ready. With six or so weeks to go this …
The workbench is still looking busy but is now at least a little tidier. I still feel pretty chaotic when I look at it as there are over a dozen different projects that I can see. As ever there are too many unfinished projects on the table. I might nee…
To support my Prussian ships I bought a Bunker Complex and the Tower Set. These are really nice resin castings which add a different dimension to games of Dystopian Wars. The bunker complex to me combines elements of the Maunsell Forts that the British…
I had an opportunity to play test Alien Dungeon’s new game “All Quiet on the Martian Front” tonight. As you may have seen from the kickstarted this is a 15mm scale game of a second Martian invasion – take a look at the Kick-Starter here. &n…
I mentioned in a previous post that I had got some Prussian reinforcements. As well as a blister of battlecruisers, I also got a blister of Hussar Gunships. These are nice castings and there are three models in the blister. Very cleanly cast. However n…
I finished the metallic basecoat of the Kingdom of Britannia Illustrious Class Sky Fortress. The flightdeck will be painted tan, which when washed will hopefully look like wood.
Having started to paint the Kingdom of Britannia Eagle Class War Rotor I finished off the base coat of Citadel Boltgun Metal. Side view. The next stage will be a black wash.
It’s a rainy and gloomy day here in Maryland – that’s perfect weather for painting and basing mini’s! I made some good progress today and finished all my painting and then turned to basing the units. Pictured are 2 calvary and 3 infan…
I gave the Prussian Empire Konigsberg Class Battlecruisers a white undercoat. Really impressive detail on these models.
Sorry for the lack of variety in my WIP posts of late! I hope you’re not all getting sick of seeing French infantry. I’ve varied this bunch with a head conversion and a couple more figures with shako covers.SHQ/Kennington officer in covered shakoHaT ch…
After washing the resin, I constructed the Dystopian Wars’ Prussian Empire Konigsberg Class Battlecruisers. Very simple to put together, as you only need to glue the turrets into place.
I’ve started another French battalion for Borodino, this time back with plastic HaT figures. This time, though, I’ve experimented with head swaps for the elite figures. The originals are bedecked in cords and plumes, so I decided to give them a more ca…
Yesterday afternoon I got to spend sometime previewing the new game “All Quiet on the Martian Front” (AQMF) with Ernie over at the Alien Dungeon HQ. Alien Dungeon is the sister company of Architects of War and is focused on Fantasy and Sci-…
I’m still plugging away at what has now apparently become the Dark Age Village Project. I’m not entirely sure when that happened but it is clear that it has. Not that I’m complaining, it’s proving to be most entertaining and will be great to play some …
