Cruel Seas

Thanks Kerry, the torpedoes have come up a treat!


Couple of free S Boats, thanks to my old Friend Rob Thompson (all the way from Poland, no less), thanks mate, really enjoyed doing these!



After my friend John pointed out I had my guns wrong on my MkI Vospers, I bought the Warlord Games British weapons pack add-on. Well worth it. I also bought myself a tanker while visiting Boards and Swords, just because you need a target!

Upgraded Vospers

Under escourt by a Vospers

Decided my 10 Vospers needed some serious fire support, so I bought a set of Fairmile D Dog Boats
Really nice kit, had a lot of fun putting these together and painting them.








Nick Overland (of Sabresquadron fame) kindly donated his pair of Vospers to me too. Is 10 too much? I think not!


 

ID numbers on the sternsr as last time, it was getting hard to spot which boat was which! 


Mike sent me these to add to my collection. Two more S Boats (Ace of Club and Spades for recognititon) and the Limited Edition Das Boot U96

Escorting her home...

Looks good, the logo is accurate from the series and film! :)

I like these boats.


This month's Wargames Illustrated freebies, Americans and the torpedos that came with the British MTB flotilla.







Finished 6 more MTBs that I received from the amazing Mrs Lemmey for Xmas,



With the original two

And flying the White Ensign

A freebie with Wargames Illustrated, great fun to paint.
Bristish Vospers MTBs added,



 Look forwards to using these, and I know two others down the club have them too.
German E-Boats first, an S-100 and an S-38 class.

Legion Imperialis 8mm - Bikers.

Bikers - 3d prints for Legion Imperialis Suspect there are menat to be more per base, but it suits my denuded them. I regret not doing one with plates! Brrrrrmmmm... It's all gone a bit Judge Dredd! Terrain box (Civitas ruins) painted up Honestly took me longer to build it than it did to paint! But there may be a reason for that Someone needs a word with their structural surveyor! I mean, the build quality here is awful. At least the marines will have somewhere to hide It's about an A3 of ruined stuff It's been trashed Comes with a lot of scatter  The rest of the club was doing it, so I had to do it!  Looking through the various Legions from the Horus Herasy, I decided... Nope. Don't like them. Stick to what you know. 'Stick 'Em In The Eye - It's the Emperor's Pointy Sticks' So, seven years after I painted the 'Emperor's Pointy Sticks'...

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   Claudia the animal handler, Bowie and Marcella the Monster Hunter from Bad Squiddo Back view Side on     Mimic from Bad Squiddo Gribbly Sushi? Catch of the day!   Another Grenadier 1984 from Brian's collection - possible Flesh Golem? Pants! Quick job, but fun   TT Combat Halfling adventuers, a barbarian, a fighter, a ranger (with squirrel), a mage, and a bard (with bagpipes) Rough bunch Distancing themselves from the Bard! Fireball!   Really random. Converted GW 1990s halfling on a...

AWI forces for Lee - 10mm Pendraken

Lee asked me to paint up extra forces for his AWI collection so he can also play 'Live Free or Die'. Lee's Hessians done, all figures by Pendraken in 10mm flags by Vaubanner . The column approaches. 1st Combined Grenadier Regt Top view In line Almost wide to deploy in line for my light box! Off they go Looking good Fusilier Regt von Dittfurth From up high Nice looking troops Column advances Just, go that, way! Sarge, we're going round in circles Grenadier Regiment Rall, at ease Thin blue line? The chords really make these figures pop Not sure they actually carried colours, but the pack came with a standard bearer, and after a bit of searching, I found something probable.  Everyone's favourite, the Jagers Blending in, almost Player's eye view The whole batch  British light infantry done and added to Lee's collection. Again, mixed facings as they were consolidated units. Top view Made of firing and advancing plus command figures Qu...
