While I'm certain I need to be cracking on with a real fence outdoors, I end up making some shtaketnik for my Soviet village. Hey ho. The Warbases WaT dashboards are nice too. #whatatanker #spreadthelard #15mm
At Warfare helping @joewargamer.bsky.social run his amazing Caen table for hot tank action...

Managed to find a few mins to get the tracks and details done, and then a doae of Streaking Grime and some mud effects... dings and weathering to come. LHS side is for comparison. Makeup sponges are the best...

Now this was great fun to do. The markers made it so easy. Was dreading cracking out the airbrush but this took about an hour and a half of work at most whilst listening to We Have Ways and the seige of Malta.

Time to get those marker pens working hard... all the AFV support options for the Germans are going to get cammo'd up, wqshed and chipped and weathered. This is going to be a haul.

I had to move house again recently, and now I can't find my copy of 'what a tanker' to teach my friend the game 😢
#whatatanker
Building some hedgerows... just need to let them dry overnight and then can base them up. Nice to head back to scenery building after putting together so many tanks.

And that's the priming done on these... a collection of various SdKfz 250s, and some heavy hitters on the rear.

Lunchtime shenanigans completes the build on my pile of 28mm tanks. does this now mean I have truly become a muli-scale CoC? Given I've got lots of infantry STLs that need printing I think I've crossed the rubicon....

Very much blaming @wisewolfpainting.bsky.social for this appearing on my desk...

Right. The Churchill 6pdr seems to be nearing completion. Really enjoying armour painting at the minute it seems...

A pre-weathered Cromwell 6pdr... pleased to note the 15mm recipie translates across to 28mm.

The Panzer IV asking the question, can an AFV be too weathered and grubby?
#whatatanker
#spreadthelard
A slight change of scale. I got the Pz IVs for @tomjmegan.bsky.social festive tank challenge '24 and the Churchill to balance things up. The 4G is done, the 4H I'm pondering Normandy camo. The Churchill will be a test for my 15mm recipie to see if it upscales.

#WhatATanker update. Week 3. I had to endure an online meeting after school, so I left the game with the pupils to set up. They completed two games by themselves. #SpreadTheLard Definition of a good ruleset.
#WhatATanker week 2. On turn 1, a heroic T34 was destroyed by a demonic Konigstiger from 47". To avenge this, a trap was set. Lure the fascist vipers into the village. The Pz IV fell for it. Player 3 hurtled his ISU-152 in for the kill. But we ran out of time. @toofatlardies #spreadthelard
Battle report (kind of). At the school wargaming club I introduced #WhataTanker by #TwoFatLardies in amongst the 40K hubbub. First time for me and the student, and within the 45 minutes we picked up the basics and played a decent mini game as time permitted. (1)
TONK!
Inspired by the colour of the rulebook by @apocrypha-now.bsky.social, I painted up another Tonk. It came in some boardgame stuff my friend found in a loft (including Legend of Zagor!)
Hit me up with pics of your Tonks for inspo for my next one pls

Another little job finished off this week was colour matching these old crop fields to my newer Normandy terrain by applying the same home brew meadow mix. They need to be hit with a good spray of anti-shine, but other than that they’re good to go #15mm #BKC #CoC #FlamesofWar #WhataTanker
This weeks output #15mm #BritishAirborne #PzGrenadier #OpVarsity #BKC #FlamesofWar #CoC #WhataTanker
Details done, decals applied. The Pz IVs are ready for Friday night’s instalment of my Normandy campaign. When I started this little project the idea was to zoom in and out of action ranging from individual men to companies so I’ll be switching rules for the next game and playing #whatatanker #15mm
Bit it's not enough, with 2 comrades destroyed and facing a Stug and a Panther alone, the remaining Sherman sets off the smoke and retreats off the field.
