great work on these. I enjoyed following the update on the blog :)
-
They look great well done.
-
OMG! Those look fabulous! ;D That camo is outstanding!
-
Beautiful work on those. I know I will have to order some soon and get back into moderns. Would I be very incorrect if I painted them in the sand/brown camo? I prefer the look of that to the multi-cam.
-
Lovely paintjob!
I've only ever tried splittermuster before and that was hard enough, but I can appreciate the work that has gone into these. Do you have any camo painting tips?
-
Very impressive paintjob.That is a lot of patience.
-
Great paintjob! One question, do they use such a bright green in afghanistan and irak? Which green is it?
-
That's some camo work right there!
Excellent!
-
Wow! :-*
-
Stunning camo 8)

Nick strictly speaking its the new MTP uniform and Mk7 (I think) Helmet so it wouldn't be in Desert DPM only MTP, however the differences are in pocket placement, seams and cut etc so if this doesn't bother you too much try it and see what you think.

Dougie,
Thanks, are they using the multi-cam currently in Afghanistan?
I assume you are playing Skirmish Sangin. If I ordered a squad of British plus maybe a support weapon team or SF tram and maybe a dozen Afghans, will that do for most games?

You can SS with 8 Figure. That will give you two fire teams if i remember correctly. You would be best getting a list of the figures from the rules as the weapon types needed are split over the Empress packs.

Yup the British Army has been in MTP in Afghanistan since 2011/12, you'll need very few figs for SS, 2x 4 man fireteams is ideal, a good place to start organisationally would be a fireteam composed of 2 guys with SA80A2, 1 with SA80A2/UGL combo and 1 guy with a Minimi. A few Taliban and your sorted

After disappointment with Flying Lead I picked up the Skirmish Sangin PDF. I'm about a third of the way in and really excited about playing it. It's nowhere near as 'heavy going' as I expected. I'm looking to use DEVGRU vs PLA following my Empress KS purchase so I'll need to come up with something for the Chinese.

Hope you make an AAR for us. I hope to here more about Skirmish Sangin. I read nearly the half rules and hope to convince my gaming guys from it. It is more skirmish than a lot of so called games with a big touch of roleplay. Hope to get more Armylist from the makers of the game (africa '60 to '70, vietnam). I don't think it works with WW2...

I'm a long way off painting my moderns, though i have put together a list for a PLA squad. I was also thinking of using it for Vietnam. As the ground scale is 1" = 2m it would be easy to convert Vietnam era weapons and vehicle movement, etc.

Excellent work. When I first scrolled down it took me a couple of seconds to realise these were minis not an actual photo of real troops.
Which says great things for the sculpting and the painting.
-
They are top notch!
