I think that I am beyond therapy.

As for the more 'robust' ladies: I try to get a more realistic representation of the actual population in my figures rather than all of the girls being the same.
A variety of body shapes and heights.
I think it looks better.

Anyway, back to the thread....

The Militia Ladies are the first unit of my Anglican League forces.
I have another couple of squads ready to parade for pics and a few transport vehicles almost finished.
I shall get them posted up as soon as I get the time.

The Anglican League detachment sent to bolster the defences around Crystal Palace in an attempt to pin back the BUF from advancing into Kent again.
Based at Beckenham Hospital, where many casualties suffered by the League have been treated, they are tentative allies of the Penge Defence Force.
Each squad has a dedicated transport vehicle in order to respond as quickly as possible to any threatened advance of the Fascists.

A platoon command squad, with a heavy Anglican Church theme.

These are not finished but I have cunningly hidden the bits that need work.
I shall sort that out over the weekend.

The Male Militia squad...

...with their dedicated tender transport.

The Female Militia with their modified van.

and the transports in column...

....all bearing the arms of the Archbishop of Canterbury.

And finally, a group shot of the platoon....

I still have a support weapon, probably an anti-tank rifle, and another unit to add but they are nearly finished.

What a good looking force! You have such a pace with this project, no need to encourage you to hurry up with this

The priests in command squad and male militia squad are a nice extra touch, excellent.

Fantastic work there mason.

I assume the Anglicans are not theologically pacificts then, but identify England as God's Kingdom.

I haven't seen many ministers take up arms - but yours look the part sir. Nicely done.

Cheers
Matt

Brilliant work.

I love the finish you have put on the vehicles especially.

Did you manage to get Legionnaire Bert to join in?

Well, I have had a head start with all of this bearing in mind that I already had a fair portion of it to begin with.
And Jeff painted a fair bit too.

I figured that would look good and it just seemed 'right' too.
Cheers.

Someone has to put a stop to that man and his fascist followers.

Cheers, mate.
I am pretty happy with them too.
I do enjoy working on vehicles as they are pretty quick and easy and the results can be quite rewarding.

He IS interested.
I think I shall be able to entice him into a game in the next week or two.

I also got around to finishing off my regular BUF platoon.....

The platoon with the rest of the force....

The armoured car in the background of these pictures is not finished yet, that should happen today with a bit of luck.

I also finished off the Womens Section but the wash of dark shade that I applied over the black has created a rather shiny surface and they do not photograph well....

I shall slap some matt varnish on later and see if that helps.

pocoloco · « **Reply #54 on:** November 01, 2015, 01:07:10 PM »

Dang, another fine force!

Good to see some armoured "might" on the table... even if it belongs to the evil BUF side.

Any field pieces for any of the forces planned?

Cheers, Antti!

The plan at the moment is to build several small forces (Anglican League, BUF and Local Defence Volunteers are almost finished, with Communists and Royalists to follow).

Each force will be composed of a platoon composed of two or three infantry squads and a command section.
Each platoon will also have a support weapon; HMG, mortar or AT rifle, and also have a 'special' unit attached to it.
In the case of the BUF it is the armoured car.

I am trying to theme the 'special' units to the 'style' of the faction in question, hence the Penge LDV have a Toffee Apple mortar as it looks a little improvised and old fashioned, thus matching the feel of the force.

I will be getting on to these more interesting units for the three almost complete forces soon before moving on to the remaining factions properly.

Luckily the new dining room table has extendible wings....
