Hi
Many thanks
I use them in games of Rebels and Patriots,the back mini is based in /on a 1p slot and is removable,I then replace him with a dice frame on a 1p coin and record casualties with that.
The pic is from my Retreat from Moscow thread on the Big Battalions page.
Bases are from warbases and 60mm round with 1p slot at the rear.
Hope that helps :)

Romark, very cleaver idea for marking casualties. I will file that one away in the big store of great ideas.

Some Sgt. Major Miniatures "Planet of the Apes" gorillas. They are a product of finally getting around to painting more figs from the ones I've been collecting from this genre. I'm going to use them as a force for Xenos Rampant. In fact, I have a set of the Eureka Miniatures Gibbons started on my painting desk, now. Not strictly Planet of the Apes canon, but awesome, characterful figures...

I took a little break from painting 15mm fantasy figures and painted a couple of 28mm figures that have been cluttering up my painting area for too long. They’re Reaper Bones wraiths. They’re moulded in a light blue transparent plastic but the material takes regular paint fairly well. They will be playing the role of Nazgûl to supervise my 28mm orcs.

I have signed up for the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge again; this year I am committed to getting as many of my Bloody Miniatures collection painted as possible. I started these on Dec 31st; I hope to get a pack and a half done a week over the next 2 and a half months.

Also painted a Gibbon as a fire control officer for this Reviresco Robot Gun. Figured the monkey might need a bodyguard to bring the unit out to three figures, so I painted up a chimpanzee from the Atomic Cafe line.
So far, 2024 is off to a good start in production on both minis and terrain!

Some Reaper Bones modern zombies. Kind of soft details, but they turned out alright.

Love the palette on those 8)
-
Thanks! The skin tones were half by accident - I primed them white then gave them a wash with thinned down Agrax Earthshade, mainly so I could see the details better. I found that the thinned Agrax already looked a bit like really unhealthy skin, so I added thinned down Reikland Flesh, especially around the eyes, mouth, and anywhere the skin was broken or flesh was showing. After that I blocked in everything else with colours that could fit a range of periods, and picked out some details like the eyes and teeth.
I’m just hoping I can replicate the effect on the next batch!

I can sympathize! I will even mix an entire bottle of a "wash" or similar so I don't have to sweat the proportions every time I paint a new batch.
Good luck!

I had read for years here about a miraculous varnish that would really leave a dead flat finish on miniature surfaces. That liquid is regretfully not obtainable in Germany and therefore was avoided to order from abroad. Increasing unsatisfactory results with semi-gloss shine of "matt" varnished miniatures made me finally place an order in Italy. Postage was still higher than the value of the bottle, but still lower than from the UK.
This Winsor & Newton matt varnish works wonders. It's really the first matt varnish in 40 years of my painting, that does what it promises when applied with a handheld brush.
It was tested on some lead miniatures first and then applied to these semi soft plastic miniatures for Imperial Assault. I guess, I will bin the other stuff and will only use this from now on. :-*

How do you apply? Shake bottle? Leave to settle and take from lid?
I've read good reports, various application methods. None have worked, so far, for me so just curious.

You seem to have yet experienced the same like me.
Usually I stir the liquid, then shake the (closed) bottle upside down before I start.
I open the bottle and dip the tip of the brush into the varnish. If the picked up drop seems to big, I downsize it on the rim, then thoroughly apply the varnish with a size 1 brush from head to feet in one thin layer and try to avoid pools in recesses.
I worked this way for decades and tried various varnishes, both resin and acrylics. I tried to thin them for better results, but in the end they all provided a more or less semi glossy finish. Winsor & Newton does not - I am totally happy!
I noticed two differences with it: First, it smells slightly like ammonia - no other varnish I used does that. Second, the talcum seems not to sink and settle to the bottom, but remains solved. Stirring the liquid seemed superfluent, but I did anyway and shook after as usual. I still do that after each varnishing round of a handful of miniatures to avoid possible decrease of talcum saturation however.

This Winsor & Newton matt varnish works wonders. It's really the first matt varnish in 40 years of my painting, that does what it promises when applied with a handheld brush.
It was tested on some lead miniatures first and then applied to these semi soft plastic miniatures for Imperial Assault. I guess, I will bin the other stuff and will only use this from now on. :-*
I would suggest that you evaluate the semi soft plastic figures over the following months before using W&N varnish on other plastic figures. I found that my figures developed the dreaded sticky finish with this varnish. My models were from the Fantasy Flight and CMON Boardgames.
The varnish I used can be removed with white spirit.
I switched to airbrush varnish from Vallejo - the RC range (62.062). Also dead flat finish.
