Title: Phyllion’s Spanish Civil War in 28mm
Post by: Phyllion on March 07, 2015, 06:19:19 PM
Evening all,

My club have been working on a SCW project in 28mm to play Chain of Command. I've just finished my first section, for which I went for something slightly different: the Carabineros or frontier guards. I've not seen any painted in 28mm before.

Thanks for the kind words all, glad you liked these chaps as something a little different for the SCW. Let's hope they acquit themselves well on the tabletop.
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War Carabineros in 28mm
Post by: Happy Wanderer on March 10, 2015, 09:35:35 PM
"Let's hope they acquit themselves well on the tabletop."

Taken as Command Dice 6, Regular they should do quite well. They are Aggressive as well giving them a good deal of go forward. Note the Aggressive rules is different in CoC-Espana as we felt Aggressive troops are best represented with an ability to lift of shock more effectively than non-agro types.

The Tear Gas is very useful if you can get them close enough and get a run of command dice to take full advantage..ie pop smoke and then in the next phase move into assault if you've been able to load your target up with shock. it is unique to the Guardia de Asalto, Guardia Civil & Carabineros list and is one of the 'cute' things they have above all others.

With Aggressive troops and command dice 6 I'd keep them mobile and would be a little less reluctant to take more static levels of support. A Hispano-Suiza MC36 (MG) would make for a hard hitting and somewhat mobile force and look damn sweet using the Minairons model.

...please post pics if you get these troops on table!

The Assaltos are one of my favourite force in the SCW and look damn good on-table...

Thanks for the comments all. A couple more finished - starting on the Carlist Requetes

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-BXTJbPJVN1w/VS1PL46mwJI/AAAAAAAAEic/QJ27ZKUaR8A/s400/image.jpg)

I'm stumped for a Vallejo colours to do the beige shirts of the rest of my Requetes and green/khaki of the Nationalist infantry - does the wisdom of the forum have any suggestions? For the green tunic of the officer I used 70.882 US Uniform recommended from the painting guide on http://www.minairons.eu/en/ (http://www.minairons.eu/en/), but it doesn't seem right compared to descriptions, plates and others' work.

More photos and ruminations on my blog.

Title: Re: Spanish Civil War Carabineros in 28mm
Post by: Durutti on April 14, 2015, 06:59:36 PM
To get the Uniform colour, I use a mix of vallejo Brown Violet 887 and Khaki 988, or Khaki Grey 880,or Green Brown 879 add a bit of Olive Green if you think its too brown. I find you get a good mix of dirty shades using the Brown Violet as a base, and adding the drabs to it.

And a handful more Requetes
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1HYvd-u3WW8/VjZjCAOtfxI/AAAAAAAAE88/8Tbc0hBISpQ/s640-Ic42/image.jpeg)

I added the streamers as the religious icon seemed a bit bare but I didn't want to go the whole hog and add a flag.

Again, some months between updates. At the moment, support weapons are the focus:

A few more bits finished in recent months for this project.

Army Hotchkiss team

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-H3MHRRWApCY/Vpk2Z81ffrI/AAAAAAAAFGk/jizYGd3Ywts/s400-Ic42/image.jpeg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-J10gDbQvJEU/Vpk2Hxu7mGI/AAAAAAAAFGY/gOYE1qGEUgQ/s400-Ic42/image.jpeg)

The Requetes get some light support

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dJ3mqEOvAQE/Vpk2HmovMsI/AAAAAAAAFGU/xRTSfeyDtBw/s400-Ic42/image.jpeg)
And some Nationalist officers, including a portly gentleman from the Condor Legion.

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-h4MA5EHByfk/Vpk2HgM9DOI/AAAAAAAAFGc/aeLWj4ODTRQ/s400-Ic42/image.jpeg)

More Army infantry on the table, then the rest of the Requetes. But over a year I've painted 2/3rds of a project - very focused for me!

I lurk a lot more than I post, so haven’t updated this thread for ages. I’ve been working on this project again recently, in good time to put some games on next year.

Recently finished the Carabineros’ armoured support, a Bilbao armoured car. Second time painting it as the first attempt came out as a right dog’s dinner. Need more practice at armour.

On my hols so I dug back over photos between 2016 and 2019 posts: Carlist militiamen and support, and a mounted Carabinero conversion. Probably painted 2017, I’ve been on and off this project awhile!

As my most consistent project over 6? Years, I think I’ve finished:
20 Carabineros with support
25 Requetes with support
20 Nationalist Infantry with support
15 Internationals Brigades
Handful of militia

I should do some group shots, all these odds, sods and trios add up over the years.

Lovely work! I'm always excited when I see this thread has been updated  :D

Old mate 'CNT' always gives me a double take when I see it. Being an Australian I'm used to a particular four letter word being thrown around, and I never expect to see it on miniatures or in the source photo. Maybe it says something about my upbringing that I automatically assume it's a word rather than an initialisation  ;)

Superb. Congratulations ...it reminds me that I still have a lot of SCW figures to finish to paint... some day... one of all these projects still not ready to play ... :'(

Oh don’t worry, I have about the same as much bare lead as I have painted. And this is a project I’ve done well to work through  lol

Lovely work! I'm always excited when I see this thread has been updated  :D

Old mate 'CNT' always gives me a double take when I see it.

Ah you’re too kind. I often forget to put them here.

Double take for us all here, but gotta go with the source material:

 ::) Being a French native speaker I don't ever notice it. But I can sympathize: every time I see in an English-language forum a gaming convention mentioned as "CON" I feel the same thing at first glance.  lol

I'm bilingual so things get mashed together in funny cross-language puns ways sometimes. For instance, I refer to salted butter as "dirty butter" because "Beurre salé".  ;D

Lovely work Phyllion!  I'm highly tempted by this period.  My painting isn't up to your standards but those Empress figures are very nice.

It’s a great range, and a colourful period which is nice on the painting eyes.

As is tradition, the winter Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge had me adding to this project with a Tizano improvised armoured truck, mighty Renault FT and squad of Guardia Civil
