Today I finally finished my army for Gen Con, which is coming up later this week. Yes, they are dipped. One thing I noticed is that compared to 28mm, 15mm need to be a lot brighter before dipping. I fooled around with a few greens on old Axis and Allies miniatures before determining that this light green "Goblin Green" equivalent seemed to come out best when using the dip.

Able Kompanie is running a few tournaments and I entered the Late War one. 1250 points. This will be my first FOW tournament, so looking forward to learning more about the game, and different armies.

Needed a point efficient army (not much room in my backpack), so went with KG Knaust. KG Hummel - 8 Tigers or something - was my first choice, but I've never painted infantry before, so though Gen Con would be good motivation to paint some. Glad it worked out.

Any tips for my first tournament?

Very nice looking Kampfgruppe Knaust and good luck in the tournament
