Uh dude,,,is brown the best color???

 

[MedMos]

It'll be sponged, @Kitcar. It's fine.
And I'm with you, @ClockworkOrange! Nothing like a coat of primer to transform a jumble of junk into one thing. It's pure hobby joy.

Wow! I really love that piece! Well done!

 

[ClockworkOrange]

Hmmm I’ve started on something completely new! I hope we don’t mind but this thread is going to be derailed for a spot of Bolt Action for a while! Presenting:

Die Wüstentrolle

I got the Bolt Action Africa Korps (DAK) Army in a box for Christmas, can you believe that all this comes in at £54!! Bargain.

It’s early days yet but I’ve got most of the bits, there’s a half track in the post and an extra figure sprue but that will only take the full army cost up to about £75!!! GW take note, I’m still in semi shock

[MusingWarboss]

Aye, looking at Historical miniature prices does make you think just how far your budget could go compared to like, one ForgeWorld Necromunda figure!! (I got 40 Celts for £20. It’s currently £20 for one Escher Champion at FW!!! )

 

[Punktaku]

I almost got into Dust Tactics for a similar reason. Their vehicles are awesome: nice detail and plastics. Their minis are nice too, but the troops are too rubbery for me. If only they had used the same quality plastic.

 

[ClockworkOrange]

@Punktaku these are the same hard plastic GW uses - not quite the same quality/detail but it should make painting them quicker.

If you're getting into WWII, check out Battlegroup written by Warwick Kinrade. The balance is based on the period each book is set in, but has a depth and flexibility not found in other systems.
It's not a competition rules set as it was designed to reflect, as close as possible, the events and situations of the battlefield on the tabletop. This includes support options such as resupply and engineers.
Also check out The Plastic Soldier Company for 15mm and 20mm quick build models.
I have some Russians and Germans for Kursk [1943].
Sadly I can't provide pics as I've just packed them for their move to Notts. I'm supposed to be following them later in the year, though a date isn't set yet.

p.s. The Airship is pretty cool.

Thanks @Domino Notts you say? The Troll lives out in the forest nearby…..

Thanks @Domino Notts you say? The Troll lives out in the forest nearby…..

That’s a warning not an offer

 

[Domino]

@radulykan I grew up in the area, so I'm aware of the various horrors that can spawn there.
I am a little tentative about coming into contact with 'Agent Orange' and its mutating effects though.
