Found these sitting a the bottom of a box
so added them to the mix. Funny, I never
remembered the orks being so
big and having such cool weapons.
Thanks to Leeman’s sharp eye he has quite correctly
pointed out these are not apparently Gorkamorka
so now I’m thinking old OOP Nobs ?
Somebody has suggested they are Black Reach Orks ?
The Ork Waaagh grows and so the need for
more cannon fodder is required. Quick and easy Orks
for a mad dash to death but allowing my Ork Warboss
to sneak up on the flank and do some real bashing.
Needed something to sit next to my panzers
and just remind everybody that Blitzkrieg was not
all lightning warfare. The vast majority of the
German army went to war on foot or was pulled
by a horse. In this case they came back by horse.
It was built from balsa wood, two Napoleonic horses
from Essex miniatures and some wire.
Road tested this rig, the weekend just gone and
found the perfect use for it. After an hour of
play out comes the horse drawn ambulance telling
all players its time for a cup of tea and a break.
Been busy of late and finally finished these guys.
£5 off ebay plus 99p post and packaging and all still
attached to the sprue. Anyway what seemed like an easy
Terminator paint became rather slow and tedious due to
the large amount of tiny detail on these models. Well done
GW on making such high quality kit but its hell to paint.
Anyway hope you like them ?
The basic colour is a Tamiya white base coat with a couple
of Ushabti Bone dry brushes. The red is a build up of Mephiston
Red, Evil Sunz scarlet and Wild rider red. The Green is Caliban
Green, Warpstone and then Moot.
Just in case my wave of T-26`s comes unstuck I have
added an Su-76 to cover the retreat.
This little model by Battlefront was a joy to make and
paint due to high detail found on metal models. I also find
it much easier to achieve better detail when only painting
one model as opposed to a mass batch.
Enjoy:
I`m now tempted to build something big enough to
stop a Tiger 🙂
The Russian solution to German armour was often not to
build something of better quality but rather to build
greater numbers. Thus my large group of T-26`s which have
the fire power of a small gnat but eventually through
numbers one will sting you.
If your wondering these tiny tanks are Zvezda again.
With all those Panthers lurking in the hedge rows
it was time to even things up. Bring on the 17pdr`s.
These have a bit more markings, specifically they
are 11th Armoured Division, 23rd Hussars Regiment.
I am quite pleased with the darker shade of green
as I was worried it would come out like Soviet
green.
Back to WW2 German tanks and this time its Panthers.
I have left off any distinguishing marks so I can use
them from 1943-45.
The paint scheme was a lot better than the Tiger.
Hardest part of these Panthers was the decals. I have small
fingers and its still murder trying to put them on.
Round about six months ago I started these 3 Blood Angels and
they have been gathering dust ever since. My recent 24hr blitz
on the scouts got me in the mood again and I finally
finished them off.
I must take some more photos when I have a spare minute.
Also I wonder why I put so much bling on these guys when
I put them together lol.
My son got these for Christmas and decided they needed to be battle ready.
Only problem was that he decided this on Thursday just gone and wanted
them ready for Saturday just gone in time for a visiting friend.
AaaaaRRRRRRRRRRhhhhhhhhhhhh
So the five man squad got a 24hr blitz and as table top ready they
are not too bad.
It can be done in 24hrs,but I would rather take a week.
