A Few Great War 15s.

Hey all.

Between other things today I got a pair of 15mm figures painted....big achievement eh?

I placed a decent sized order to Peter Pig the other day to get all the little dudes that Im going to need for my Great War project, and given that I had a little time today I thought I would jump-the-gun and paint up some stuff whilst my enthusiam was amble.

I found out two random figures from the 'spares' box and gave them a lick of paint - a soviet officer (with his little stars filed off his cuffs) and an Italian 'Heroic Officer'. Both models are from battlefront and will do as officer types.

The models are really just to test out colour schemes. I'm rather pleased with them.

For the sake of it, here are some scale shots next to the tanks that I painted up the other day.





What do ya all think then?

Hey all.

Had a little time off work recently and have managed to get a few bits painted.

Because I really, really knew I shouldent, I have stumbled into a new wargameing period - The Great War.

Ive gone and got myself a copy of 'Though the Mud and the Blood' and from what I have read so far its proving to be a damned good set of rules.

Ive decided to do the project in 15mm....because I had a Char 2c in a box already. Im probably going to go with individual figures on Pennys for the infantry, with anything else being elevated to the time honored Two-Penny piece. Im putting togehter a shopping list at the mo - think Im going to go with Blue Moon over Peter Pig, my usual supplyer of 15mm figurines as they have a slightly better range of figures - particularly for the french. However, I will be rounding out the project with some of Peter Pigs and Irregular Miniatures produce.




Two French FT17s in Tri-Colour Camo. They are diddly things, and neither my painting or photography are all too great...so please be forgiving.

A Char 2c;
 

Whilst not actually used in the War, I am very fond of this french Landship, and I had one in a boxed that had been ear marked for the last few years to become the 'Mobile Oppression Palace' of my African Warlord. I like the idea of extending the War into 1919 and doing some 'what if' scenarios - I cant find any British or German tanks however.
