(Remember: click on the pictures

A German Minenwerfer team from
Brigade Games
that Jonathan Freitag of Palouse
Wargaming Journal generously donated to the cause.
A battalion of my own Canadian
miniatures (though the lewis gunner and officer are from Renegade
Miniatures and were painted previously). Originally I’d intended
these to be one of the British battalions attached to the Canadian Corps. But
then realized I hadn’t done the 85th Battalion – a labour battalion that was
thrown into the attack when the advance on the 4th Division’s front ground to a
halt. So I’ll probably use this unit as those. I may replace the lewis gunner
with a regular rifleman (not sure if a labour battalion would have been fully
kitted out with an infantry battalions compliment of light machine-guns!)
In addition to the Post-Apocalyptic
Soviets I finished last week, there were a few other distractions I
finished up while waiting for paint to dry, etc…
Post apocalyptic KGB (to go
along with the Post-Apocalyptic
Soviets) – also from Lead
Adventure Miniatures
A pair of Medieval-ish/fantasy
warrior women. On the left of the picture is the “Warrior Woman” from Wargames
Illustrated – Giants In Miniature and on the right is the Frostgrave Assassin
from North Star
Figures. They kind of look like they could be sisters… I think I
shall make them so!
The painted version of the
Frostgrave assassin was all it black, which I thought was a bit odd for
Frostgrave. Being all stone and ice, I’d think black would rather stand out –
so I’d originally planned to do her cloak in white or a really light grey and
all her clothes and armour in light greys.
The greys turned out a little
darker than I originally intended and once I got painting the cloak I ended up
trying to do a mottled look of light greys and blues and then tried to make it
look a bit dirty stained from draggin in the dirt and mud as the ancient city
slowly melts… I was totally happy with how it turned out… I actuall think it looks
a lot better in this photo somehow? Not about to strip and repaint it. It
starting to grow on me…
