'Nother update? So soon?

Quick update on progress... due to band and other stuff I've suffered painting-wise, and I also blame the rain for poor lighting. However what's done so far looks fantastic at general level, but also up close it's not an eyesore like my US army... Hard to put details on FoW but I've used NMM on guns and do not regret this choice. The bases also help the case.

So far then I've done 9 medium stands fully, 2 AA trucks w/o crew/ extras and 4 small stands. I've also found a better way of basecoating, so that should pick up.

In other news, I'm working on a FoW board 4'x4' with a road and hill, some forests and maybe a lake. Nothing special, and has room for expansion but I just spent the rest of my summer budget on a new amp... bah humbug.

Now that that's cleared up, update!

Well that's the Ancients out of the way, time for some 15mm. I'll update more this time as less rushing, even if I have just joined another band.. pfft I don't paint in the evening anyway, lighting's too bad in this room. So let's get an idea of what is to be done:

HQ:
1x Warrior
1x Command
1x 2iC
1x Sniper team

(3x) Rifle Platoons:
6x Rifle/MG Teams
1x Command
1x PIAT
1x Mortar

2x Flakpanzer AA

My target is 1 Rifle platoon a day, and a little bit of commands. So far so good as 2 Rifle stands and a command, PIAT and mortar are done at the time of writing. Apart form the Valejo paints 15mm is much more fun. The basing theme is a rain filled field. Thus lots of dark mud, water effects and sprawling grass.

Later y'all.
