A productive morning sees the 15mm Cold War West German Bundeswehr (finally) primed and ready for painting.
Two cracking games of Battlegroup NORTHAG last week has provided the impetus these done and see how they change up the battlefield dynamic!
#Wargaming #ColdWargaming #Northag
Finished the Soviet infantry for my #ColdWarGoneHot project. All miniatures are #15mm Battleftont but will be used for #NORTHAG #7DttRR and #CWC2 rather than #TeamYankee
Apologies for the stinking cold: here’s an update on painting my #15mm #ColdWarGoneHot Soviet Motor Rifles for #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2
That’s enough for tonight. Boots, flesh and some detailing tomorrow and the first company of Soviet Motor Rifles will be ready for basing #15mm #ColdWarGoneHot #7DttRR #NORTHAG #CWC2 #TeamYankee
Test base of my “quick paint” #15mm #Soviets complete and colour palette finalised. Paint reference sheet incoming! On with the next 9 bases :-) #ColdWarGoneHot #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2 #TeamYankee
Quick #WW3 Soviets, stage 3: stick to bases and give helmets a coat of Vallejo Russian Uniform #ColdWarGoneHot #7DttRR #NORTHAG #CWC2
Quick #WW3 Soviets, Stage 2: After Humbrol “Desert Tan” rattle can to all, cover liberally in GW Skeleton Horde contrast paint…..voila that’s 90% of the uniform done #ColdWarGoneHot #7DttRR #NORTHAG #CWC2
Primed and ready: I’ve still got a few days spare before I head for the hills so thought I’d make a start on my #15mm Soviet Motor Rifles for my #ColdWarGoneHot project #7DttRR #NORTHAG #CWC2 Figures are Battlefront plastics from their Soviet Starter set (great value)
#15mm Soviet BM-27 rockets built & basic colours applied. Windows, wheels & detailing tomorrow. Will be used as objectives in my #ColdWarGoneHot #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2 games.
As I’m off on my travels again next week (until late May) I wanted a little project towards my #ColdWarGoneHot games that would just take me a couple of days: so today I’m building, and starting to paint, 3 x 15mm Soviet BM-27, which will be used as objectives in my #7DttRR #NORTHAG #CWC2 games.
For my records #15mm #ColdWarGoneHot Soviet AFV paint job 1: Ammo Military Green Matt Primer (all) 2: Ammo Dark Brown Acrylic Wash (all) 3: Val. Green Grey drybrush (all) 4: Val. Middlestone drybrush (all) #7DttRR #NORTHAG #CWC2 #TeamYankee
Paint job finished on the 2x #15mm Lynx for my #ColdWarGoneHot project. Next up are another 5 Warriors for the Brits, but I fear the lurgy has got me and I may be out of commission for the rest of the week as I feel like I’m swallowing razor blades & have stinging eyes :-( #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2
Tomorrow: Just windows left to do on the two #15mm Lynx for the Brits #ColdWarGoneHot #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2
Sunday’s progress on the #15mm Lynx AT support for the British of my #ColdWarGoneHot project #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2
Re-painted Tonka cockpit #15mm #NORTHAG #CWC2 #7DttRR #ColdWarGoneHot
#15mm British Lynx TOW underway for #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2 #ColdWarGoneHot
#15mm Tonka: Canopy and camo applied, now onto detailing & weathering #NORTHAG #CWC2 #7DttRR #ColdWarGoneHot
British Air Assets: One Tonka built, one more to make :-) Painting this afternoon #15mm #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2 #ColdWarGoneHot
Back after 5 weeks away, and thought I’d finish off my Spartan Blowpipe teams and my FAC in his Spartan. Just decals and some mud & dust to add, then on to the British air support in the form of Lynx & Tornadoes #15mm #7DTTRR #Northag #CWC2
Looking for recommendations for a decent looking Soviet Cold War era Green base colour / coloured primer (for #15mm vehicles) that’s in a rattle can please (I don’t do airbrushes)
#ColdWarGoneHot #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2 #TeamYankee
I won’t use them for in game units (as they would be sat way back from the frontline fighting), but this box will of Soviet Rocket Launchers came up on EBay for half the retail price so I grabbed them. They’ll make nice objectives for my #ColdWarGoneHot games #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2
I may be away from my painting desk, but it hasn’t stopped me picking up the core of my Soviet force for my #15mm #ColdWarGoneHot project #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2 Good price from Zatu again www.board-game.co.uk/product/sovi...
Initial base colours applied:Army Painter Army Green rattle can, followed by Vallejo Dark Grey organic blotches #15mm #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2 #ColdWarGoneHot
Battlefront Spartans for my #15mm #ColdWarGoneHot project. Very versatile and detailed little kits, here being built as transports for Blowpipe teams and an OP for my off table mortars. Box also has options to make Strikers and Milan carrying variants. #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2
This week’s painting update on the #15mm BAOR for my #ColdWarGoneHot project: I should have mentioned in addition to the armour, this week I’ve also painted & based a company of British infantry, 4 Milan Teams, 3 command stands, 2 SF GPMG, and a couple of mortars! #NORTHAG #7DttRR ##CWC2
Time to get this pair of #15mm Chieftans finished up for my #ColdWarGoneHot project. Crunching through the British armour at pace :-) BTW, I’m interested to know what FAC and FAOs typically used for transport in the mid 80’s? FV432 variant or something smaller like a Landy? #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2
British AFV building & painting continues: Comparative sizes of the Scorpion, Warrior and iconic Chieftan (R-L) of the mid 80’s #ColdWarGoneHot era. All models are Battlefront / Team Yankee #15mm for use in #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2
These are lovely and quick to paint: Base colours complete on Warrior No. 2 and Scorpions No. 1 & 2. Time to walk the dog before a black wash and building a couple of Chieftans for me to paint tomorrow #15mm #ColdWarGoneHot #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2
