One little, two little, three little indians.... WIP

Here is a work in progress, I finally got around to starting up my indians for Musket and Tomahawks. I did a few different test figures to figure out what skin tone to make for my guys. My friend Mike helped me out with a color to use.

Musket and Tomahawks markers

I printed the markers out, cut them and glued to laser cut circle bases. After that I put a Matt varnish.
I made four sets three to give to friends and one for myself.

Cowboy

We had a painting day at the hobby store. Most people were busy doing terrain stuff, I was busy painting this cowboy, some indians and Saga miniatures. Here is the cowboy finished up. This miniature is from Black Scorpion Miniatures http://www.blackscorpionminiatures.com/. Great miniature line, I have a bunch more of cowboys and cowgirls to paint up.

FOW 3/24/13 Fighting Withdraw 1750pts

Flames of War Game I had with my friend Richard. I lucked out and got to defend. His German infantry FV vs my Soviet infantry list CT. 1750pts. Late War.

Our initial setup:

German Center

German's on my Right flank

Bird eyes view of start positions

2nd Bird eyes view of start positions

My Right flank facing off his Assault Guns

After I had placed my units, he set up a heavy attack on my front right flank area. thank goodness I had one ambush platoon of 100mm AT guns, which I hoped would stop him in his tracks before he got into knife range.

German push up assault guns on my Right

German pushes up the right with infantry moving on both sides of his assault guns for two turns. I waited to ambush with my 100mm AT the line of sight was pretty bad for my AT guns when I finally got them out there. I killed one Hetzer then killed a few stands on the Green hill.

German Shrek kills off two of my SU57s

He maneuvered his Hetzers away and the 70s away. My artillery was not hitting a thing, though I got another hit in and knocked out one of his larger assault guns.

Action in the middle Stuart tank rush 

There was little action on my left flank, with germans dug in a wood line, I tried moving my left infantry towards them. He did have an MG platoon supporting is pioneers holding ground. I deside to rush his gun lines with 6s needed to hit with my main gun and 5s with MG fire. I did knock out one pak40. Then moved farther up to try to get to the rear of his gun line. Sadly he broke the Stuarts.

German Pioneers run over part of my 45mm AT and God of War gun line in the center.

This was it, I had to unpin my artillery while I rushed my right infantry over to the center objective that was behind the hill with the 122mm artillery. He failed to kill the two guns on the hill after he charged up with 6 stands. My two shots from the 122mm killed two of his stands on defensive fire.

Over all we both had a good time playing and it was pretty hard fight for the both of us. I had one destroyed platoon and he had three if I am not mistaken. I can't wait for another game soon enough.

Off to the hobby store for a game

Raining raining raining.... I am off to play a game with a friend at the hobby shop. Flames of War time for my soviets to push those pesky Germans into Berlin!!

WIP German Puma Armored Car

In the foreground is an almost finished Puma, the background is a darker one waiting to be brought up to par  with the front one. I need to paint up a 3rd one soon, hopefully they will all be done by today.

Still a WIP, so bare with me.

An update, I just finished the two Pumas and Matt Varnished them with the following images.  I plan on just getting the force all painted up first off, then all that will be left to do is the decals and weathering when I figure those out.

The funny thing is, the camo on kampfgruppe peiper is going to be all over the place due to the different units that were drawn together in his forces. It may seems strange to whom I play unless they understand the reasoning behind it all.

King Tiger!!!! meow, meow

I have a second King Tiger painted up, I so screwed up the varnish, it was suppose to be matte not glossy. Apparently I didn't shake the bottle well enough and will have to redo the varnish. I still have some minor work to be done but they are usable in this stage. Decal work to be done once I figure out the numbering I want on them.
