My Disposable Heroes (update- TST!)
« on: 27 July 2010, 09:58:22 AM »
I am a big fan of the „Disposable Heroes“- rules and also of 1/72 miniatures. As a result, I have built some gaming boards for this topic. My latest one is a Pegasus Bridge scenario which will be played at the next TST (small German convention / Bad Oldesloe). Here are some “action”(night)-shots and some general pictures of the board and my miniatures:

Thank you :D

I also have a St. Mere Eglise board, which I have shown on the Kauzenburg (another small German wargaming convention). Here are some pictures:

I know that I sound like a broken record, but your shots are really atmospheric! :)
And as mentioned earlier, I never thought that 1/72 plastics could look so good...

Again, thanks for sharing those! What company makes your miniatures? Whomever it is, your paint jobs really make them come alive!
from Mr.Vampire: "It's the paintjob that makes the miniature fight harder not the size."

Great stuff :-* :-* :-*
Is the bridge scratch built?
I recognise the german infantry but not the US para's, same question as above, who make them and are they plastic.
The painting is amazing, great detail on the uniforms.

Thanks for your compliments! The miniatures are all plastic. The Germans are Revell and Preiser and the US Paras Imex, Revell and Esci.

By the way…we played this St. Mere Eglise thing in a small campaign of three games (1. Landing of paratroopers / 2. La Fiere Bridge / 3. St. Mere Eglise). Here are some pictures of the first scenario:

Agreed.

Very nice use of the camera.

Having great minis and terrain helps an awefull lot though...  ;)

Fantastic! Those are great terrain boards and REALLY nicely painted figures -- like others have said, I didn't know plastics could look so good! How do you keep the paint from flaking off? My clumsy forays into plastics ended in my paint jobs flaking off during several play sessions despite several attempts to fix the paint onto the plastic.  ;D
Play the game, not the players!
