"The German strategy was based on defeating any seaborne assault at the water line." |
Furthermore, the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge (AHPC) finishes in a little under three weeks. This should resultantly allow me a little time afterwards to complete some of the half-dozen or so German infantry models I actually started working on before the event started - as having already been partially-painted these soldiers aren’t eligible for submission into the AHPC.
"Warlord Games" WIPs - These Iron Brigade have been primed and had their trousers layered |
Despite apparently being issued with straw hats, these figures should end up being a bit more generic-looking than the time-consuming colour scheme I used on my previous ACW stands, so I’m hoping to get these soldiers finished a bit quicker than my last regiment. Perhaps more surprisingly though, I’ve taken advantage of my Warlord Medals on their website, to pick up a few of their metallic strips of Iron Brigade – so as to see how they compare to their plastic sculpts.
February 2022 - My move to 15mm scale has had a big impact upon my month's output |
I strongly doubt that this interest in the smaller scales (as I’ve also been dabbling in both 1:285 “Battletech” and 1:10,000 “Battlefleet Gothic” scale) will disappear any time soon either, as I’m getting a lot of satisfaction in completing a handful of miniatures by the end of a single painting session. This situation rarely happens whenever I tackle a 28mm model, and is also slowly helping me develop my batch-painting skills – something I’ve always strongly shied away from when dealing with larger, heroic-sized figures…
