More terrain for the dessert!
Hi ive not been updating my 8th army, because I basically got every thing i want for it, for now 😉 might need some trucks, tanks and such in the future…. but right now im building some more terrain, build a 4 ground train. Its a western train, but i will say it stills fit in Africa.
I had to play with it for some pictures.
And chewie is watching, and thinking about throwing my figures on the floor ;D
A little battle in the dessert
I had a little tank battle vs @Christian Hou her on the site. We both attended the North Africa bolt action boot camp.
We only had a few games sinch then. Been busy painting our armies, and we had both finished our armor first.
So we agreed on a little battle.
Christans army was made up from a Tiger I, Panzer III, Panzer IV and a StuG
My Army was made up from 3 Churchills Mark III, Valetine II, and a Grant
We played the standard mission from tank wars. We was a draw in the last round, for controlling objectives. But Christan killed fare more points, so he won.
Bellow there is some pictures from our match
The two survivers !
The entire army british 8th army! (well a small part of it)
And the entire army is done, and i really like the look of it. Its mostly made of sikh and indien troops, but a few british infantery units as well.
I consider it done, for now.
I think there is about 3000 point of models, if most of the army is made veteran. I made a few pieces of Terrain aswell.
The bases are just sand with a light AP dessert yellow on top, with turfs that fits.
The tanks!
The tanks was basically painted the same way, as the humbercar. I was less agressive with the wash though. I have some of the best british tanks, and a american one… well best is strong work, but I do love the looks of them all.
3 Churchill Mark III
2 Valentine Mark II
1 Grant
Bellow are some of the prorgess pics
Infantry progress,,, well they are done
Well, i have not been posting much on this one, but im actuly done with all of my bolt action. I have taken some pictures, but not been smart enough for uploading them ;D
They are not the best painted minis, because I went for a fast paint job, but I think They look decent enough.
