More US WWII armour units

 This week we have more US armour from WWII, these are mostly Battlefront models (resin and plastic), with a few (priests and one half track) which are kind of low quality resin models from some unknown manufacturer.


This is the third batch of US armour I painted for Dennis, there will be at least another couple in the near future.



Anti aircraft half track. 15mm Battlefront miniatures, drybrush and washes



Mortar half tracks, the two on the right are infantry mortars. 15mm Battlefront miniatures, drybrush and washes


Troop transport half tracks. 15mm Battlefront miniatures with an unknown resin one, drybrush and washes


Priest artillery battery. 15mm, unknown manufacturer with Battlefront miniatures crew, drybrush and washes

More Flames of War Italians

 Today I have some Italian WWII troops, bersaglieri and infantry with heavy weapons.

I painted these for Dave, as you can guess from the trend of posts, him and Dennis are playing WWII North African games and I'm painting axis forces for both of them.


Bersaglieri anti tank platoon with Elefantino guns. 15mm, Battlefront crew with unknown manufacturer guns (the guns should be quite a bit smaller). Dipping



Bersaglieri heavy mortars platoon. 15mm, Battlefront, dipping


Infantry light mortars platoon. 15mm, Battlefront, dipping


The whole force ready to repel an assault

A big project done

 It's done, Max's Reaper Bones V kickstarter set is all painted. It took me an age and a half, but I'm finally done, even with most of the figures painted with dipping, it still took a long time, but it's great to have this big collection available for our D&D games.

If I had to give a suggestion to anyone who wanted to start getting miniatures for D&D or other fantasy RPG, definitely go for a Reaper Bones kickstarter, it might take a long time to get delivered, but for a very fair price you would end up with a ton of stuff to represent PCs, NPSc and all sort of monsters and small terrain pieces.

Over the couple of years it took me to paint them all, we used these figures so much, some of them were even used for Warhammer games. They are cheap, easy to paint and still great quality figures, if I didn't already have way too many figures still to paint I would definitely consider this kind of investment.

But on to the figures, as usual, I saved some good stuff for last, a whole bunch of undead, all very cool models, I did what I needed with dipping, but anything that was going to be mostly black was done with washes and drybrush.
