It’s turning out to be a rather
productive week here…
(Remember: click on the pictures
for a bigger version):
These are some Russian MVD troops ready for some
urban/counterterrorist (or… counterzombie…?) action. The figures are from The Assault Group. I picked these and a bunch of other modern items from fellow blogger Alex who was selling them on the Ambush Alley Games Forum. Stay tuned for more of those!
These figures are supposed to be Vietnam US Special Forces
from West Wind
Productions, but I’ve painted them up in a more modern woodland
camouflage thinking I could pass them off as modern generic US-backed Central
American soldiers.
Of course a couple days after I ordered these from West Wind I noticed another bunch being sold by another blogger on the AAG Forum... which I also picked up... along with a pile of other Vietnam and modern stuff (which will hopefully be arriving shortly!).

Gentlemen Scavenger from EM4 Miniatures.
Perhaps Rick could use this figure if Lord
Stang survives his current
predicament and lives long enough to see the end of times and
continue on as a survivor of whatever brings about the apocalypse (zombies,
probably).
Finally, a Spear General element for a Spartan DBA Army.
Most of the figures are from Black
Tree Design, but there is a Wargames
Foundry hornblower
lurking in the back…
At one point I’d thought I might
do a Greek City State campaign for this February’s Wargame Weekend, but that
seems unlikely at the moment… largely because of BTDs 70% off sales I now have
enough figures for five (FIVE!!) Greek DBA armies – not to mention the
Skythians and Thracians (or Amazons or Centaurs!) that I also have… I think the
fun thing about running that campaign is that all the armies would be more or
less equal (unlike the Dark
Ages Campaign I ran last February, where the Saxons almost always
beat the Welsh, Irish, and Scots, the Vikings almost always beat the Saxons,
and the Normans beat EVERYONE!).
Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:
More modern stuff...
I quite like those Spartans.
ReplyDeleteCheers FMB!
DeleteI love the MDV guys. I enjoy painting different looking camo patterns as often as I can get away with it, and that blue looks awesome! Good work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ben! They were a lot of fun to paint. So much fun I'm working on another (bigger) batch of them - even though I have no real practical use for them!?
DeleteLove the Spartans Tim, well done.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
