Just a quickie;
Raided the pile of shame and found enough DAK bodies to make up 11 men, giving me extra shutzen units and options to beef up the existing ones. Happy days!
Happy with how these guys turned out, not bad for a couple of lunchtime painting sessions. I used parts from the Blitzkrieg early war Germans set too to help give some additional poses.
Hi,
Moving the progress needle slightly this week...
I finished the Aliens from the GF9 Aliens boardgame, quick and dirty with drybrushes and wash.
I also dug through the sprue pile and grabbed the remaining Bolt Action British bodies I had left to muster another regular Tommy section and a 3rd Commando LMG to allow me to rock 3 x 6 man SMG/LMG Commando sections.
As usual the Brits were a kit bash of the honking old Warlord British infantry sprue, and the later 8th Army and Paratroopers sprues, to give a bit of variety.
Warlord have a new British and Canadian set coming out soon and i'll definitely pick up a single sprue assuming it's 6 man as this would nice round out my regulars with HQ + attendent, sniper team and PIAT team.
Other than that I'm mulling over a new Bolt Action army for 2021 (yes, I know I said I wouldn't)
Current contenders are - Aussies - to make use of my Jungle terrain, and could be a cool, if historically inaccurate OpFor for my DAK.
I also fancy Soviets or maybe Italians... We'll see!
I also dusted everything Bolt Action off to get it all laid out and allow me to see what I have/want.
Anyhoo - next up, finish up re-painting the British Paras, and use up the rest of my German sprues for more basic troops.
Not much to show here, my Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps + Expansions arrived. I've assembled it all and figured out how to store it, as well as embarked on the painting.
In other news, I got my old desk back for my office, so I can get back into bigger builds, and in celebration I chucked some Bolt Action toys down and made some explosion noises...
Next up will hopefully be some progress on the Aliens stuff.
