Building With John - Afrika Korps Tiger Heavy Tank
We stop in for another build video for today with John as he paints up the Tiger Heavy Tank for the Germans and the Afrika Korps.
This is one of the sets that is going to be coming out in platoon for later on down the line from Flames Of War. So, if you're liking the look of it this should be a good build guide for you to get stuck into.
Masking Techniques With Will - How Did It Turn Out?
John steps in and talks with Will about the masking technique he was using on his tanks to see how it turned out. It seems like it really was a pretty awesome use of an ingenious substance to get some very nice clean designs.
With that in mind we'd love to see how other people come up with camouflage techniques on the tabletop. This seems like a quick and easy way to do it though...if you have some faith in the hobby Gods!
John’s Camouflage Scheme Plans
John is control of the British and he's going to be trying out his camouflage scheme on the tanks he picked up for the Boot Camp.
They sound like they're going to be a very detailed set so it will be fun seeing how this turns out later down the line. Also, anyone for anymore of John interviewing himself?
Hey I’m the first here 🙂
Can’t wait for the big battle keep up the good work guys
Can’t wait to see the outcome
Morning all. I wonder are we going to see anything special model wise today
We may indeed see something epic 🙂
It would be funny if they introduced Colossals or armored airships (ala Konflict 47) – but seriously, it would be cool to see some new sculpts or maybe have some armored infantry or recce brought in for the last day.
Good morning all , looking forward to the big battle and painted models
Hope you all have fun guys
So how many players will be in the big battle ?
Hopefully 10 vs 10 if it all works out!
Ah cool that sounds great
Happy Sunday! oh… wait…
Morning all, another day of tanks ahead
Good morning I hope your heads feel better than mine.
Need to dedicate a day of looking though all of these fully again to see it blow by blow
wanna see some nice tanks and the battle between justin and lloyd
Thank you for tons of amazing content.
Painted models… hmmmm
Hope we get to see a good battle between Justin and john
This is great to see guys. Really envious!
This is awesome, I have a decent sized Mid War British Motor Company, I’m just wondering how much, if anything I’ll need to buy in the near future.
woo! more quality content to keep me company while I paint. I hope we get to see some videos of complete games and/or more in depth gameplay review today. Plus looking forward to the mega game!
Well done on an enjoyable boot camp I have enjoyed the bits and pieces I have watched. It looks like you all had a blast.
I’m going to be in suspence all week to find out who won 🙂
Another defeat for me, can I pretend it’s because I let my son win?
Sure! I do the same thing in DZC with the youngest. You just have to act humble as well.
time for another great day in wargaming.
What a beautiful sunny day… oh yes, sometimes that big ball of thermonuclear fire and plasma is visible from Ireland. Now, back to the Desert War 🙂 Half a dozen update to drool over
Looks good from the perspective of someone who has never played but is into history. Can anyone suggest a good way to get into playing to see if I like it, but without needing to buy and assemble a huge force first.
Well battlefront are releasing a El Alamein starter set for v4. It includes a mini v4 rules, the cards, 1 grant and 2 crusaders and 1 panzer iii and 1 panzer iv. It’s rrp is £25 and you get some card terrain in the box plus dice and unit cards.
That’s probably you’re easy entry point into v4. From there you can expand with the full army boxes.
This boot camp is awesome.
