Yeah, Frank's Ansar hordes don't look so bleedin' nice when you're up to your neck in the blighters and the machine gun goes... click!

It was fun, though. We showed 'em that Anglo-German-Greeks know how to die well, that day, didn't we just? Dulce et decorum, etc... :)

Post by: Remington on January 22, 2012, 10:31:46 PM

Oh, we did indeed! :) Will we be showing it to them again this year? You coming?

It was such a blast playing on a table created by Frank. The miniatures look even better up close! And the table... Sigh... Don't get me started.

Gob smackingly amazing. :o  Note to self to get a better bleedin' camera so as to try and match Frank's standard of photography if nothing else.

Q. Are the flags all handpainted?

Title: Re: Ansari
Post by: Furt on January 26, 2012, 10:27:44 AM

Beautiful.  :-*  :-*  :-*

I believe you have all the talents required to make a comic book like story with all of these breathtaking, beautifully executed, images.

Stringing them together in story form would be marvelous indeed.

Little more to say but - inspiring...

Most of the flags are handpainted, but I have also used the ones which comes with the Perry plastic-set.

Title: Re: Ansari
Post by: aggro84 on January 29, 2012, 01:48:19 AM

Are you kidding me!

I had not realized some of those flags were hand painted!  :o

Now I'm even more impressed.

I agree! How are we supposed to even begin to reach these amazing standards, the bar has been raised so high! To look one would think these figures are in a larger scale than 28mm. Some of these are Perry's latest Sudan offerings, I have just got around to priming the first of the same ones myself, and I can't for the life of me begin to contemplate painting their faces to this amazingly high standard to show such expression. I think I would go blind trying. Incredible work.

World class!

Are they all metal or is there some plastic wickedness among these hordes?

Looking at some of them the heads look like the ones in the plastics box
