Timecast and Pendraken moderns - this month, it begins with 'S'.

Extra platoon transport from Timecast, this time of FV103 Spartans, and an extra FV105 Sultan to go in as different command sections.
Allows me flexibility with support units too.


Armour a go-go

New light box, so getting the contrast right, a little too light at the moment.


Bit better

Second Scimitar of the batch. Huge thank you to Milady at Pendraken for sorting the missing part.
Ready for action tomorrow night


Left the stowage off this one


I mean, the gun 'looks' impressive...


But will it be enough to dent T-55s tomorrow?


At least Action Man will have a ride home! https://www.actionmanhq.co.uk/action-man-vehicles/scorpian-tank/index.php


Boom?


Both together

I was inspired by having booked a game of 'Sabresquadron this Wednesday, so


A scimitar and two more landies


Because we all know the fun kit is carried in Landies


Second scimitar just needs finishing, but gives me a bit of variety


British tech, what's not to love (going all Pub Landlord here)


Oh, and some non-Pendraken product: Two Lynxes by Dorset Print Man, who very kindly recaled to 1:150 for me
https://www.thedorsetprintman.com/


very happy with these


Rotor clash?


1980s colour scheme - how I remember them flying over my school


Anyone else humming the Airwolf theme tune? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfyhL-pFFMw


 Anyone else remember 'Combat Lynx' for the ZX Spectrum? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o7e7AoLtHs
 
Been sitting in the lead pile for a while...
FV 105 Sultan from Timecast, no idea when I will use it, but such a cool model!
(You know when you get something  that refuses to be photograhphed....)


Four more Timecast FV438s - last of the support, and really crisp casting.
Love them! Nine in the unit in total now, think that will REALLY annoy some Soviets




Rear view

A few extras in preparation for tomorrow night's game. Vehicles by Timecast, Infantry by Pendraken 

FV438s





FV432s for Company Command


2iC and HMG


2 additional Milan posts



Spent some time over the festive season adding to my British Infantry, I finally finished second platoon (the first stands of the platoon are somewhere way down the blog).

With Timecast Battle taxis (enough for the whole platon)

Start of Company HQ and extra AA

Start of the Milan section, with Light Mortar support

A rare sight, British HQ with more transport than it needs!
 
 (Must paint the other two infantry stands)


Start of something different, FV438s...

I know its understrength, but you really wouldn't want your Soviet tanks to run into this lot!


A few more bits to add to the collection

 ZSU-23-4 by Timecast
 
  

Pendraken Landy, what will it be carrying? More later in the week!



And another pair of Cheiftains by Timecast!
 




1st Section, 2nd Platoon done.














Timecasts lovely armour, painted up beautifully (they are not gloss, honest). Pendraken Falklands Infantry, painted up as mechanised Infantry for Sabresquadron

Two more Chieftains



Timecast FV432s, beautiful figures


With attached Pendraken infantry, from their Falkland's range, painted as Mechinised Infantry


The infantry, swore I would never paint DPM again, but I did...


And a stand of Timecast's lovely Soviet Motor Rifle Reconnaissance

Black Powder 1870 Stats and Modifications

1870 Franco-Prussian Conflict in Black Powder Hi all, If you are reading this, it's because. like us, you are Black Powder fans and want to know how we manage the Franco-Prussian War. Anything below is by no way official, just the house rules we have developed over the last few years of playing. A few thoughts first: Fighting in the period is best described as hard fought assaults by Prussians, supported by superior artillery against superior but very strong defensive French lines. All ranges and movements are in cm scale, just to be awkward! All my forces are modelled on 3” square bases, apart from divisional commanders, skirmishers and artillery which have a frontage of 1½” and Corp commanders who are on a 2” base. Feel free to ignore that. My units are regiments of infantry,   brigades of cavalry and skirmish squadrons of cav. Artillery is either battalion as one gun, or a battery of two guns on a base, horse artillery have limbers attached. Army composition...

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain.  I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them   Here comes the couragous WWI fighter ace in his Sopwith Camel. Hunting The Red Baron on the Dawn Patrol. Bit bigger than 25mm scale, but he will provide top cover for my Kindred WWI stuff. Yes, you have seen the flight stand before on my epic stuff. He's going so fast, the camera can't focus! "Curse you Red Baron!"   Two more Highlanders from the 80s, thanks to Brian up the road. Armed with two bottles or a sword, who is harder? More plaid Well hard! Top view   A chaos warrior It was free, and I've given it to a mate who runs a chaos armym=, hence th elack of basing as he will do it to his own style. Big chopp...
