Mounted and foot command base, Two Osamas, a Mullah and a mad bomber (from Reaper)



I have four extra Taliban to do tomorrow which arrived late because I changed my mind about the unit organisation. Then it's basing and photos over the weekend of the finished force.

Two weeks, 62 figures (including the donkeys), that's four units + command and personalities. British next.

I know there's tons of bells and whistles on the web site but I've yet to suss how you find a certain reaper mini to buy it.

Here's everyone.



2 weeks exactly to paint these. Basing tomorrow, photos on Sunday if the weather holds for the varnishing. Generally I'm pretty pleased with them.

Are you basing them with Marmite?

Quite apart from everything else, i am always knocked out by the organisation and discipline of your projects.

Nice work Paul. Who makes the standing and captured Saddam? I don't recognize those figures as TAG sculpts.

Thank you all for your kind words :)

@Todd -The Saddam figures were a limited offer a while back if you ordered stuff. A birthday giveaway I think. If you write to Pete he may have some left.

Wonderful stuff Paul, I cant wait to see these in the flesh. I can't believe the quantity you have painted in two weeks for me that would be a year and I would be happy :D

Fantastic work. Where did the mounted chap come from? I presume it's a conversion of two or more figures.

Awesome stuff. The way you finished the bases really make the painting on the figures "pop-up"
