Colonel Wolfram Von Staufenberg, aka "Uncle Wolfie" as the men appreciate his efforts to make sure they have very good supply situation of water, medical, rations and ammo, plus spare weapons and armor! The black hair will get some gray added.

Command Staff of 144th Kruegerian Assault Brigade, Khadrovian Union 3rd Guard Shock Army.

Okay gang! I know i have been quiet more, but i do have some news! I got the Fallout drop yesterday, took pics in case I had to send it back, lucky me, it was perfect!

Mini-nuke that holds the game discs, and as anyone knows, children under 12 ought not play with radioactives and explosive ones at that! one pic was fuzzier than expected, but the clear one shows they made the effort to make a plastic prop look like rusted and worn metal!
[/img]
[/img]

As I also have FO4 on the way come 11/10/2015, they sent me a sleeve to store it in the mini-nuke as well along with the other games!
[/img]



DrH's crates! good for terrain on any battle table, and also great cover to shoot from! Bathtub however seems to be smaller than expected

And I got the camo work on the command team set as well.

More works to come!

That Fallout collection is awesome.

But if I buy Fallout 4, I'll never paint these marines.

Also, love the camo scheme on your stuff. It's different and yet still pretty good-looking. A lot of times when people experiment with off the wall camo schemes, they don't look great, but I love yours.

Yeah, it is a thing to do that makes a shift in what can and can't be bought! But with a lot of units to paint, finish of a vehicle or two, I also need to unstress, and I allot game time to do that with.


I considered doing a block/digi camo on the coat, but he is a Colonel, so, the fact he wears the same armor suit and patter his men do, but he and the Sgt get the cross not the winged eagle gorget, that was enough, plus they are wearing their soft caps and not their helmets, those are stashed, but I may make some spare head cuts and attach those somewhere the Col's left hip has enough opening between the coat pieces to do that with, as well as the Sgt and Medic.of course the Colonel's helmet may get some individualized touch to it. You know, like they did for General Veers in Empire Strikes Back, he still wore his grey uniform, but the helmet was black, not as practical here, of course, but I do have some really dark greens to make a solid helmet.

Reaper paints Jungle Moss and Pine Green are the darkest greens I have of military greens I own. Jungle moss is close to the very dark green of Soviet tanks when not camouflaged, and Pine Green resembles the very dark green used on the old Messerscmidt fighters' upper surface camo.

Works all looking great bud, the command squads looking spot on.

I have given up gaming, too distracting.

Good work on the little people.

Nice Fallout box set.

Good job on the boxes. Did they get easier as you went on?

The bath is actually larger than it should be for 28mm scale. The first mock-up I made for it looked really tiny.
The feet for it add quite a bit of height too.

True it can be distracting, but my hands need to get stretched out more, holding tools and a brush can be hell on my fingers.!

Well, I compared it to the Maj,(Hasslefree mini) she would have knees up a bit, but she could get in that thing.

Soon I shall get the FO-4, MUWAHAHAHAHA!

Boxes still were shaved a bit, but yeah, they got a bit easier,

I have done more for the little people squad!

Nice space army men there. Yay zombies too, looking forward to your results

Zombies in a Tank !!

Samuel Jackson would not put up with them.

Well, putting the zombies toogether and trying not to be all the same is tough, but will be good practice!

No he would not! But I do have most of the horde built, ten more to go!

Cool to see mantic made a dedicated kit for the zombies instead of the old kitbash of the fantasy zombies with the corporation troops (if that's what they were called, memory is hazy).

How are they to assemble and what's the options like, poses, variation etc? You seem to be doing pretty well so far.

love the little snipers nest

Okay, I have seen the terrain comes with piles of collapsed girders and bricks and such, plus the walls and floors with damage as seen in the nest I made. there will be more wrecked buildings to come!

You get the one toros, front/back with the eating zombie, 5 heads, 2 female, 3 males, well the balded one could have been anything! 2 female torsos, 2 space suit like torsos, and 2 corporate soldier armored torsos, arms with nothing, arms for the workers, and soldier like arms with shoulder armor, etc. the 2 arms that have to hold the rifle like a club, so it is positioning the torsos on the 5 leg sections, then the choices of heads, one of the females is helmet with long hair, the other is hair exposed. the bald head, the head with hair, and male helmet. the torsos are partial ball-n-socket style, so angling the bodies is very varied if so chosen. same with their heads as seen, and the arms.

The expansion has the 30zombies, the booklet (Too thin to b a book), the terrain sprues and AI control cards as the zombies are not smart and must be random, they can be spoilers as they will attack anything that moves. fellow plague or opposing soldiers of any race, but also there are the ability to solitaire game due to the cards

That's cool, thanks for the review Shas

It sounds like a pretty cool kit, really useful for people looking for zombies for other games. 30 sounds like a good number for the box and it's cool they added terrain with it.

NP OMN, and as the next pics show, the angles and poses can make for some looking as if they are in a mad rush to get you!

another batch of the 30!

That was my hope, especially as that commissar is the Brother Vinni model based on Cain.

nice to see some terrain here
and the mantic z´s are indeed looking as a worthwhile buy...

sorry for the long absence...gotta find a good balance between work, family and hobby...which still hasn´t been established...

Then you certainly managed to capture it. I had completely forgotten that was the 'not-Cain' mini. Good jorb.

EDIT: I feel that I would recognize anything even remotely Cain-esque, since I love that series of novels so much. I'm about to start reading them all again, in fact.

How many upgrade kits for your Dreamforge APC are you going to get on the big sale fortnight?

Well, sadly, I have no funds to use till 11/3/2015 so unless the sale is continued till then, I am screwed. But I would get the Thor(Stuka zu Fuss) for the HMG mounting one, plus another APC just so I couldmake a Loki/Odin version, (may make a frame for canvas cover for bad weather.)

Looks like the infection is spreading in the K'd'n sector. It might need some "antibiotics" to clean it up if it can't be dealt with internally.

It is Bullets and flame time!

And now! time for some more paint work as I had some stuff primed and I felt color was needed,,,,,Badly! I got to my Clear-Horizon and OMN stuff this time around. so here we go! Oh and Agent G was nice enough to stand in for scale once again, he is a real 28mm sport about that!

Well, between the flash and the daylight bulb, I got some odd bright results

Then things evened out and Agent G could get to work

So, I added the "whites of their eyes" and worked on getting the banner colors up and running. there will be Imperium Eagles added to it via decals as well, once I fnish cleaning the colors up a bit
