French & Indian War Artillery

Finished some artillery for the French & Indian War French and British forces. Both of these units are metal figs from Sash & Saber. First up is the French 4 lb gun.

The crew was ridiculously easy and quick to paint up. They're nowhere near as fancy as their British counterparts. And here's the British 6 lb and crew.

I also have finished some little bits of terrain. These are all from one of the Mantic Terrain Crates, with the exception of one item.

The one exception are the barrels. I got this piece from Terry and its a 3D printed piece. Painted up quite nice and dead simple.

I've got some WW2 Soviets that are finished and just need to be based. The next thing I'll be painting will be a large batch of Rebel terrorists from the Star Wars Legion core box.

French & Indian War Militia

It's been a long while since I've posted anything up but I'm starting to get myself more motivated for painting. I've finally finished the French & Indian War figures I've had on my table for a number of months. These metal figures are from Sash & Saber. The first group are French Canadian Militia.

The second group are French Compagnies Franches de la Marine officers/NCOs.

Sitting on my paint table right now, nearing completion are a French gun and crew and a British gun and crew.

Rebels, Rocket bike and Ladies

Finished some more figs recently. This is a bit of a mish-mash of figs. First up is a group of Rebel Fleet Troopers for Star Wars Legion.

Nice and simple figs to paint. Too bad they didn't come in a bigger group than seven?!? Bit of a rant, but I really wish Fantasy Flight would come out with the Imperial Navy Troopers and Army Troopers. Unfortunately they only seem to release something if there's a release for the other side. So who knows if we'll ever get them. And it would be nice if they came out with some assorted figs for pilots, crew and maybe some civilians but that doesn't really fit into their tournament play figure scheme. I'll probably have to get figures from Shapeways, which will cost me a pretty penny. Argh!

Next up is a Barracuda Rocket Bike from Bombshell Miniatures. This resin fig is for their Counterblast line and is from the Lancer faction.

And finally is a pair of ladies from Sash & Saber. These are from their French & Indian War line and are part of the Female Civilians pack.

'Til next time.

Soviets with SVT-40 & F&IW Civilians

Finished a couple small packs of figures. First up is a pack of 4 Soviet infantry armed with the SVT-40 rifle. One of the support options in Chain of Command for early war Soviets lets them change out some regular rifle armed infantry for some armed with SVT-40s. These figures are from The Assault Group (TAG).

Next up is a pack of male civilians from Sash and Saber's French and Indian War line.

Both sets of figures are nice and clean with very little gear on them.

Til next time.

Samurai, a Troll and a Lady.

Sounds like a weird group just walked into a bar. But alas it isn't a joke, it's just a weird assortment of figs.The bulk of this post is the samurai figs.

These figs are all 28mm metal. The infantry are from Steel Fist Miniatures and the cavalry are from The Assault Group (TAG). First up is a base of ashigaru with yari.

I was originally going to do up a couple bases of teppo, but the Steel Fist teppo were just crap. They were not cast very well compared to my Kingsford figs. So they're sitting on a shelf right now and I'm debating whether to just grind through them painfully or just throw them out.

Next up is a base of samurai with yari.

And finally is a base of mounted warrior monks.

These were actually the first TAG miniatures I've ever painted. They're nice, clean well cast figs. I look forward to painting more of their figs.

Here is the lot all together:

Next up is a river troll from Games Workshop. Nice expressive fig with lots of character, really fun to paint.

And lastly is this lady from Sash and Saber's French and Indian War line.

'Til next time.

Ants and Death Troopers

For my final post of the year I've got a small assortment of figs completed. First up is a group of giant ants. These figs, with the exception of the two large ones, are all metal. Those two are resin. These figs were from the Crooked Dice Games 7TV Apocalypse Kickstarter that got sent out earlier this year.

Also completed is a squad of Imperial Death Troopers from Fantasy Flight Games' Star Wars Legion line.

These figs were relatively quick and easy to paint up. The trick was not to actually paint them complete black as the details would be harder to see. They turned out alright I guess.

And finally I have this lone female civilian from Sash and Saber's French and Indian War line.

Due to some of the bonus challenges in the Paint Challenge, I will probably be posting up a lone figure a couple times before the end of the challenge.

Have a Happy New Year!
