You ain't seen me, right! German Recce vehicles

One of the things that any Flames of War army is incomplete without is reconnaissance. There are a number of options available to the German Army and SS troops, from motorbike troops to armoured cars and even some light tanks. In the end, I decided to go with what I wanted to paint!

StuG G Platoon

Having successfully painted the first of the StuG Assault Guns from the Open Fire! starter box, I set about finishing off the platoon by tackling the other two.

Here are the finished results. The only difference is that I used a darker paint for the green on the following two StuGs. Let me know which one you prefer 9assuming you can see the difference!), as that will form the scheme for all of my German vehicles.

I've also added some MIG Pigment and Citadel Typhus Corrosion to the tracks, track wheels and lower hull areas to add a bit of dirt and weathering to the miniatures.

That's all for the StuGs, next up we'll take a look at some Shermans I think!

Showcase: First Legion Predator

So, a couple of weeks ago I posted an entry on how I magnetised my Predator

and here is the finished product...

Showcase: Characters from Gedeal's story

In case you've read Gedeal's story, here, you may have been wondering if I had painted any of the characters involved. In actual fact, I have.

The first character to appear in the story is, unsurprisingly, Gedeal himself, shown here in modified Scout armour and cameleoline cloak. The armour used by the Guardians of the Covenant scouts varies depending both on the mission being undertaken, and also how far advanced through their training they are, with more experienced scouts being given access to more powerful and rarer weapon systems and armour.

The miniature itself is part of the Anvil Industry Black Ops Sniper Recon Team, which is one of the best miniature sets I've painted. The base is by Fantascape.








The other main characters appearing in the story are Chronicler Zianor and Chaplain Attaris. I have modelled these using miniatures available in the Limited Edition version of the Dark Vengeance set by Games Workshop. The Chaplain is on the decorative base he came with, whilst the Librarian is on a base of my own concoction.

Showcase: Deathwing Knights

So, to get the party started.... my Guardians of the Covenant Deathwing Knights, probably the best painted unit I've managed to produce in the three years I've been painting. It's almost certainly due to the fact that I just love painting terminators!
