Thanks janner, I just downloaded that pdf and it looks like a really interesting read; I am off to print it now.


Cheers,

Very nice work. You'll have to build a ruin scape now.

Very nice must admit I love the books, Wish had infinite funds I'd do this and a great many other things.

I'm thinking of doing entrenchments that would cover historical and 30K, but it might not be possible to cover both

They are very expensive and you can fund several 28mm metal historical armies for the same price. However, I have limited painting time and enjoy painting enough to not want it to become a chore. So I'm following the froth for a while and damn the cost

Trenches would be a real hoot. I take that we're doing a bit of WW1 night raids in 2014 anyway seeing that it's a hundred years and all.

[janner]

Well I do have more than a few Imperial Russians, as well as the odd German...

The Ziterdes hard foam things paint up rather nicely





(these aren't painted yet I think)



They have corners as well... so you wont have long open trenches- 

[janner]

They have potential

Build your own you lazy git.

First of 10 Autocannon armed Heavy Support troopers:



I changed the helmet crest for the Mk II version for consistency  :grin:

More on my blog...

Mispost

With the next five Heavy Support guys close to completion, it was time to get twenty Tacticals undercoated and ready for painting 

[OSHIROmodels]

Do you paint them on the sprues then?

cheers

James

[janner]

I do the undercoating and base coats on the sprues, then assemble them and do the washes, shading, details etc.

Found there were too many hard to reach corners once fully assembled and it's easier for my aged hands to deal with chunky sprues 

Also, the washes run off bare resin. So it you miss a bit, it can stand out a tad.
