EUDT Platoon finished!

Now then,

I've finished off my Tomorrows war force, with the addition of another 3 fire tems and a large Mech, for some fire support.

The platoon SGT's fireteam, callsign M10B

M12C, the guy on the left is another minor conversion, with a GW space marine head...

M12D, another conversion here, this time with a GW scout head.

Next up we have the platoons fire support, in the form of a medium Mech, the model is from Fantasy Flight Games, and is a medium panzer mech, for their Dust Tactics game.

Great model, and it comes ready assembled and primed grey, and with 3 different weapon configurations.

Anti tank variant, although in DT, i think its an artillery weapon, similar to a WW2 Nebelwerfer...

The AA variant, but very useful in a direct ground role too, with its twin massive cannons!

The standard model, with a rapid firing main gun and a close combat arm, more useful in an urban environment, for clearing debris etc.

The completed force.

I would have had these completed sooner, but the wife insisted on days out etc, so while in a nice village called Omodos, i spied this big stone die in a trinket shop, so being the nerd i am, i had to have it. I plan on using it as a turn marker when we have games.....

The full army can be seen on the TW page - HERE

So now that small distraction is out of the way, i think ill crack on with some more Persians...

Cheers for looking,

Force Multiplier, Sniper Team

Now then,

The production line is in full swing now, so today I have finished the bases on my System trooper sniper team.  I really enjoyed painting these, although the camo cloaks didn't turn out quite as I wanted them, but they will do.

You know your going to have a bad day when you attract the attention of these two...

keep low and move fast!

The full force so far is here - LINK

System Troopers Command Team

Now then,

So my first "Multiple" is complete with the addition of my command team. The Platoon commander, his radio operator and 2 riflemen.

I decided to give one of the riflemen a head swap, just for a bit of variety, so he now has a heavily chopped up GW space marine head, plundered from my sons bits box.

I think the head is supposed to be half metal, hence the strange grooves on his head, but as he's a veteran, they will serve as scars..(maybe he should keep his helmet on)..

The Radio operator and the commander both have tablet type screens, I tried quite a few different methods when painting these, I tried painting maps etc, but it looked crap, so i went with what you see here.
The Rad Op had the small antenna removed and a spare Xyston spear put in its place, drilled in.

I'm now half way through the platoon, and I'm enjoying painting something different to what id normally do, but the Persians are undercoated too, and are making me feel guilty about not finishing them off....

System Troopers #2

Now then,

I've finished off my next fire-team for Tomorrows war, using the Pig Iron miniatures System troopers.

LCpl Woods, armed with the standard issue L270 assault rifle.














 Pte Horton, again, with the L270.
















Pte Evans, with his L270.














Pte Spence, armed with an advanced AV 300, a rapid firing laser weapon.

The full fire-team, call-sign M11D

Unfortunately I ran out of natural light so the pics aren't great, ill get the next batch out in the garden and get some better pics.

That's it for now, I should have the Platoon commanders group finished by tomorrow.

New Pages Added

Morning all,

I have added 3 new pages to the blog, so that those interested can keep tabs on the various projects, and everything is in one place, instead of searching round the blog....




Tomorrows War page - LINK

Impetus Greek army - LINK










Impetus Persian Army - LINK













The plan is that once I have updates for these armies, ill update the blog as normal, but ill update the specific army page as well, with a link.

Tomorrows War System Troopers!

Now then,

I've made a start on my Tomorrows war troops. These are 28mm system troopers from Pig Iron Miniatures, and I think that they are ace! They are a real treat to paint, and i've tried to do the sculpts justice....

I bought a pack of alternate heads as I wasn't too keen on the standard ones, these almost look like spartans from the computer game HALO...

Anyway, here's the first fire team, call-sign M-11C....



Fire team leader, Cpl Dickinson, armed with an L270 assault rifle.














Pte Harris, armed with the fireteam support weapon, an AMX 70 capable of laying down a withering amount of firepower.











Pte Murray, armed with a L270 assault rifle.












Pte Smith, again with a L270 assault rifle.

 The full Fireteam, all ready to destroy some stuff!

A view from the rear, showing the detail on these models, which I think is outstanding.

As you have probably gathered, I'm really impressed with these Pig Iron minis, they are among the very best models I have painted, stay tuned for more of the platoon over the next few days.

Heres a link to my TW page - LINK
