Progress on the vehicles

Work continues on the vehicles for my 12th SS battle group.  These have had their basecoats and camouflage applied and some filters also put on - more to go tomorrow.

Beginnings of the German Infantry

Most of one battalion - they are Battlefield SS figures.  Also waiting on a load more to fill out this one make a second battalion - coming from the resurrected AB figures at Eureka.  Should be here in a day or two.

Made a start on these today and the vehicles have been base coated and highlighted yellow - but no light left outside to do the camo.

Back to WWII - 20mm German Battlegoup

Been putting together a fair bit of resin and adding stowage to old partially painted models and new ones alike.  Got the greenstuff out tonight and painting begins tomorrow.

Will be used to build a battlegroup from the RF Normandy book for 12th SS.

First Hun army finished

So most of the army on display.  This is what I fought with over the weekend when they made their debut in an Impetus competition at Cancon - Australia's largest convention. 

There were just 8 of us in the Impetus comp and a great time was had by all.

Like all new armies they did not cover themselves in glory - let's just say I won the Encouragement award. 

The army is from the Impetus beta lists is made up of Huns and some Goth allies.

There are two more pieces that I used on the weekend but need to do a bit more to - one because of injury and one to add a few more items to the baggage base.

The Huns on the Field

The Huns had their first outing on the weekend.  They played in an Impetus comp at Cancon - wonderful two days with a great bunch of guys.  While I have continued to attend Cancon each year, this is the first competition I have been in there in over 25 years - the last was microarmour.

Anyway, only got one photo as I was so engrossed in the games.  I know a few more were taken by various people and if they ever appear I will purloin them (with appropriate attribution of course). 

I need to do a little bit of repairing with the glue - one lance and one rider were casualties. Once done, I will get them all out and take a shot or two.

Getting close with the Huns

Less than 48 hours to go until I need to be in the car driving to Cancon where these guys will make their debut.

Since the last photo 12 bases finished.  Just a few more to go and some command figures.  And all the basing to be done.

An overview shot of what is finished and mounted on bases.

 

And some shots of their allies
