These past few weeks have been filled with work, exam marking, report writing and such like, so figure painting and 'gaming generally have taken a back seat. However I've been able to make a little progress on the basing project, preparing the old 20mm armies for use with Spearhead. This is all about re-purposing/re-using old figures that haven't seen the light of day for a long time. It's about finishing those half starts. Here is the first of the four infantry battalions that are a part of the 20mm Spearhead project that has been energised by Nick G's enthusiasm for the rules and 20mm generally.
The figures were all painted 20+ years ago, and I certainly wouldn't paint this way today, but a new base, and a wash, make a little difference.
This is a battalion of Black Sea Fleet Marines ready for use with the mid war Russians. I can't recall the figure manufacturer, as they were acquired way way back in the mists of time. Brittannia maybe???
I can foresee many a stoush in the Crimea as these boys fight to defend their native soil.
Nice work Robin. I'm looking forward to taking them on...with my, bigger based, Jerries!
ReplyDeleteGo on, you know it should work...! :-)
By the way, you don't want to spend Father's Day getting ready for a week of art do you? Cutting paper, lining desks, painting up some samples?
