Quickly following on from yesterdays post I have managed to knock out another 20 built British infantry for same gaming in Central and Eastern Asia. Like the first section these are all from Renegade miniatures. Nice and easy to paint. Most of these are un the Early war uniform, which was still in widespread use across the empire. The Lewis team are in the late war uniform. Obviously not for the purists, but satisfy me.
So that is 3 infantry sections completed this weekend. I also have a Commanding officer and a HMG section, made up of a couple of Vickers machine guns just needing their bases completed. Searching through the lead pile produced a field gun, but only 5 crew, must have lost one at some point. These are now undercoated and hopefully completed sometime this week. Not a bad little force of 6 units put together in a short time. Perfect for games of Fistful of lead, bigger battles. I may add an armoured car and either cavalry or some Indian troops.
20 figures in a day? Unbelievable productivity!
ReplyDeleteCheers Jonathan. Much easier when the sun comes out. Increases drying time to speed things up
DeleteNice work Neil 👍 obviously they need an armoured car, and cavalry and some artillery 😀
ReplyDeleteCheers Matt, I think they do
DeleteVery nice indeed Scotty. One advantage of Back of Beyond type collections is, you can suit yourself on what uniform is appropriate! Another benefit of twentieth century uniforms is their relative simplicity to paint, particularly prior to the introduction of camo patterns!
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith, the other advantage is the huge variety of troops available to stop a project going stale
