	Hammer's Slammers The Crucible: The latest in Slammers gaming.
	Hammer's Slammers The book is a joy to behold.
	Slammers loot My Slammers vehicle came in the mail!
	Slammers loot These are really nice. They must be the most perfect resin castings I've ever seen.
	Hammer's Slammers GZG 15mm Slammers primed. These are very nice figures, but I just hate cleaning 15mm figures. I nearly broke the ankles off one already.
	Hammer's Slammers Basic wash applied.
	Hammer's Slammers Priming the jeeps.
	Hammer's Slammers Basing... I'm still not really accustomed to doing multibases, it's about the slowest stage of doing 15mm figures.
	Hammer's Slammers Here's my infantry.
	Hammer's Slammers These are all GZG 15mm figures, they're pretty nice.
	Hammer's Slammers The obligatory overhead view.
	Hammer's Slammers I did not feel like switching back and forth with the skimmer bases so I included one skimmer on each base to indicate they are so equipped.
	Hammer's Slammers Initially I intended to have the same amount of figures on each base but then I remembered my episode with the VC and put one less on the buzzbomb bases. This left a couple of figures over to do command bases.
	Hammer's Slammers These turned out nicer than I thought they would.
	Hammer's Slammers Jeeps and weapon teams done.
	Hammer's Slammers I'm not quite sure if the Slammers ever used mounted weapons in the books. And if you look closely, these aren't even Slammers figures. They are close, but not really.
	Hammer's Slammers The infantry are from GZG while the jeeps are Old Crow.
	Hammer's Slammers The obligatory overhead view.
	Hammer's Slammers Mortar jeeps.
	Hammer's Slammers Transport jeeps with loads.
	Hammer's Slammers Tribarrel jeeps.
	Hammer's Slammers The vehicle id numbers came from a 1/300 Soviet decal sheet -- my Slammers decal sheets are not here yet.
	Hammer's Slammers Tanks Here they are in all their glory.
	Hammer's Slammers Tanks I've been testing different ISO settings for the camera. Might have worked better if I'd actually kept notes...
	Hammer's Slammers Tanks Yes, the decals have not arrived yet... but otherwise I'll call these done. Maybe next time I'll add some stowage.
	Hammer's Slammers Tanks The obligatory overhead shot.
	Hammer's Slammers Tanks I love the gleam of iridium in the sun...
	Hammer's Slammers Tanks That's a full troop of blowers, a troop of combat cars and a pair of hogs. Hog batteries really come in fours, but I wanted to save some money and they're really not supposed to be on the table anyway.
	Hammer's Slammers Tanks I think the command car is actually missing a tribarrel. I'll have to ask if I can buy some spares separately.
	Hammer's Slammers Tanks Combat cars lined up.
	Hammer's Slammers Tanks The mesh tops were easier than I thought. Let's see how they hold up.
	Hammer's Slammers Tanks The turrets are really flush fitting, they may end up scraping the deck paint.
	Hammer's Slammers Tanks Pair of hogs. Now all I need is a horde of 15mm monkey aliens...
	Hammer's Slammers Tanks Ok, these aren't exactly Slammers...
	Hammer's Slammers Tanks The obligatory overhead view.
	Hammer's Slammers Tanks Slammers don't actually use Calliopes, so I painted these in generic olive drab.
	Hammer's Slammers Tanks A couple of cargo cars.
	Hammer's Slammers Tanks The lineup is looking nice.
	Hammer's Slammers Tanks Oh no, the blowers don't fit even in the large tank tray.
	Hammer's Slammers Tanks Good thing I had some pluck foam lying around...
	Project H2: Reinforcements I decided to model a full arty detachment, so I bought and painted these babies.
	Project H2: Reinforcements The obligatory overhead view.
	Project H2: Reinforcements I actually got the decals. I should take the time to decal up everything.
	Project H2: Reinforcements The command car is growing on me. I should get a few more and paint them up as ambulances or something.
	Project H2: Showing Colours I attached the decals. I should actually order more...
	Radar Station Here's a few field mounts with radar dishes.
	Radar Station The obligatory overhead view.
	Radar Station I painted these using the same camo scheme as the tanks and the trucks so I can exchange the turrets between them.
	Radar Station I need to get some more bases and missile turrets for a proper SAM site, though...
	Radar Station Another view of the radar installations.
	Trucks Here's some trucking power for the Prosperity rebels.
	Trucks The obligatory overhead view.
	Trucks I tried to give these the same camo scheme as the tanks, but for some reason the green turned out a bit different.
	Trucks I have three trucks and they are all slightly different.
	Trucks Hahaa! I mounted a magnet on the underbelly so I can put turrets on these too!
	Project H2: Prosperity Rebels Tanks Here's the light armored detachment.
	Project H2: Prosperity Rebels Tanks There's three platoons of five, each with one support tank.
	Project H2: Prosperity Rebels Tanks The support tank is the one with the slightly thicker and stubbier barrel.
	Project H2: Prosperity Rebels Tanks The obligatory overhead view.
	Project H2: Prosperity Rebels Tanks I chose to use generic red stars as symbols. All the hulls are numbered but the turrets are unmarked so they can be switched around.
	Project H2: Prosperity Rebels Tanks I need to get more transfers for the next batch.
	Project H2: Prosperity Rebels Tanks The camo is done with an airbrush using blu-tac as stencil. It worked pretty well.
	Project H2: Prosperity Rebels Tanks Some of the barrels really wanted to be installed in a high angle position...
	Project H2: Prosperity Rebels Tanks Some rear details.
	Project H2: Prosperity Rebels Tanks Another view of the tanks. I think this is getting on the high side of what you can stick on a normal table without starting to look stupid.
	Project H2: Broglie's Tank Destroyers Ok, here's some tank destroyers for Broglie's Legion.
	Project H2: Broglie's Tank Destroyers The obligatory overhead view.
	Project H2: Broglie's Tank Destroyers I tried doing digicamo with my new stencils. All told, it was a fair success though the paint is too thick in some places.
	Project H2: Broglie's Tank Destroyers Yes, they come with tribarrels. No, I'm not going to do the early versions separately.
	Project H2: Broglie's Tank Destroyers I still need to add a few support vehicles to round it out.
	Project H2: Broglie's Tank Destroyers Not quite sure what the rear grille is supposed to be besides prime targeting point.
	SciFi troopers Here's a platoon of troopers.
	SciFi troopers The obligatory overhead view.
	SciFi troopers I think these are very old Ral Partha figures.
	SciFi troopers The support section with four heavy guns... whatever they might be.
	SciFi troopers The infantry slog on.
	SciFi troopers There are pretty limited poses, but just enough to not appear all marching in goose step.
	SciFi troopers The color scheme is completely off the top of my head. I wanted to see how the light brown uniform would look.
	SciFi troopers The basing is done using Vallejo paste. It takes a long time to dry, but it's precolored so one painting step can be omitted.
	SciFi troopers I guess these guys will be facing the Slammers at some point.
	SciFi troopers Another platoon of generic scifi troopers.
	SciFi troopers The obligatory overhead view.
	SciFi troopers I've no idea which figures these are, but I'd guess GZG, maybe...
	SciFi troopers They're in kinda German WWII colors, the uniform is German field gray and the helmets are German dark camo. The webbing and vests are tan earth to give some contrast, though.
	SciFi troopers Buzzbomb bases. There isn't a great variety of poses.
	SciFi troopers Rifle bases. These guys didn't come with heavy weapons -- or I may have bagged the heavy weapons separately.
	SciFi troopers Pretty clean and nice figures.
	SciFi troopers Oh yes, I couldn't find my dunkelgelb so the buzzbomb tubes are in green gray.
	SciFi troopers The thin greenish line...
	Brutish Aliens Here's some brutish aliens. Slammerverse isn't exactly brimming with alien combatants, but I lumped these there anyway as they are 15mm figures and I don't really have any other 15mm scifi stuff.
	Brutish Aliens The obligatory overhead view.
	Brutish Aliens The nastiest of the bunch get to lead the rest.
	Brutish Aliens Regular brute aliens.
	Brutish Aliens Again, I have no idea where these guys came from.
	Brutish Aliens They're actually pretty nice. Being substantially larger than 15mm humans they also have a lot more detail.
	SciFi troopers Some vehicle crewmen were included. I'll these as is until I can find a vehicle to mount them on.
	SciFi troopers Here's the latest platoon of generic scifi troopers.
	SciFi troopers The obligatory overhead view.
	SciFi troopers Again, I have no real idea what these figures are.
	SciFi troopers Some missile launchers included.
	SciFi troopers Rifle teams.
	SciFi troopers For some reason these figures made me think about Stainless Steel Rat.
	SciFi troopers I basecoated these with the airbrush. I'm not quite convinced if it actually was faster, but at least there were no major problems.
	SciFi troopers It's a pretty simple theme. These guys will be part of the generic green army.
	SciFi troopers Placement of the flowers is completely coincidental.
	SciFi troopers And then to the next challenge.
	SciFi troopers Another batch of troopers for the green army.
	SciFi troopers The obligatory overhead view.
	SciFi troopers I think these are GZG figures.
	SciFi troopers A couple of command bases just in case.
	SciFi troopers Loads of heavy weapons. I might need to get more basic riflemen to even things out.
	SciFi troopers This lot is tooled up to the gills.
	SciFi troopers The paint scheme is pretty basic light olive clothes with olive drab helmet and shoulder pads.
	SciFi troopers I tried the bushes without extra glue this time. Let's see if there are any problems.
	SciFi troopers The basic riflemen are in the minority here.
	Buggy Aliens Here they are the buggy aliens.
	Buggy Aliens The obligatory overhead view.
	Buggy Aliens Democratic leadership among the bugsies.
	Buggy Aliens A few support weapon teams.
	Buggy Aliens Buggy rifle teams. These are most likely GZG Kra'Vak models.
	Buggy Aliens The thin red line.
	Buggy Aliens Some of the pose variations are really minor.
	Buggy Aliens Hey, that's cheating! You got an extra guy down there!
	Snout Aliens The humble platoon of the snout aliens is done.
	Snout Aliens The obligatory overhead view.
	Snout Aliens I had to switch basing scheme because I ran out of the stuff I used previously.
	Snout Aliens I think these are pretty cute. No idea who made them, though.
	Snout Aliens The leadership.
	Snout Aliens No real heavy weapons with these so I built them all as rifle bases.
	Snout Aliens For some reason I was getting this very British vibe from these.
	Snout Aliens Probably serving as mercenaries somewhere? Or is there an entire empire of these guys?
	Security Detail Here are the boys in blue.
	Security Detail The obligatory overhead view.
	Security Detail Leading elements.
	Security Detail There's a dearth of poses...
	Security Detail Ofcourse the only female figure is in a tank top.
	Security Detail SWAT boys advance.
	Security Detail They will sure keep things secure.
	Security Detail There's even a medic!
	Security Detail Criminal elements beware!
	Jungle Fighters Ready to brave any death world jungle they come across.
	Jungle Fighters The obligatory overhead view.
	Jungle Fighters Leaders lead the way.
	Jungle Fighters For reason I got a strong Vietnam vibe from these and decided to paint them as jungle fighters.
	Jungle Fighters Buzzbomb sections.
	Jungle Fighters Rifle sections, complete with light support weapons.
	Jungle Fighters All we need is some bush.
	Jungle Fighters I stuck a great deal of static grass bushes on these bases.
	Jungle Fighters Maybe a few small trees could also have been added...
	Power Armor Troopers Here's a set of power armor troopers.
	Power Armor Troopers The obligatory overhead view.
	Power Armor Troopers I think these are GZG figures again.
	Power Armor Troopers The leadership agrees on the vision.
	Power Armor Troopers The shoulder-mounted AT weapons convinced me that these must be powered suits of some sort.
	Power Armor Troopers I went through static grass bushes like crazy to get these done.
	Power Armor Troopers The rifle bases include support weapons.
	Power Armor Troopers The end result is surprisingly effective considering how simple the paint scheme really is.
	Power Armor Troopers Technically there are not power suits in Slammers, but it seems all my 15mm sci-fi stuff is getting lumped into one with them
	Power Armor Troopers Fearsome line of powered death.
	Power Armor Troopers Pose variation is a bit poor again.
	Power Armor Troopers Somehow I think these are NSL figures, but I really don't know.
	Helmet Troopers Troopers with the oddly familiar helmets advance.
	Helmet Troopers The obligatory overhead view.
	Helmet Troopers These seem oddly familiar, but I just can't place them.
	Helmet Troopers Proper command section included.
	Helmet Troopers I decided to put these support weapons on separate bases as well.
	Helmet Troopers I have no idea where these guys came from.
	Helmet Troopers There's a surprisingly good selection of kneeling poses for once.
	Helmet Troopers The helmet is so distinctive I thought it should be emphasized, hence the red colour.
	Helmet Troopers Bazooka teams and support weapons.
	Helmet Troopers Rifle bases. The split was better this way. I think these must be relatively new figures because the guns bear a striking resemblance to Vectors.
	Helmet Troopers There's even a loader with extra ammo for the rocket launcher.
	Desert Warriors Desert warriors arrayed for battle.
	Desert Warriors The obligatory overhead view.
	Desert Warriors These are GZG figures, I think.
	Desert Warriors I chose to mix the two styles instead of separating them.
	Desert Warriors The helmet style is a bit odd...
	Desert Warriors The line goes on and on.
	Desert Warriors At this rate, I'm going to run out of bushes soon.
	Desert Warriors Some buzzbombs for good measure.
	Hammer's Slammers Slammers reinforcements.
	Hammer's Slammers The obligatory overhead view.
	Hammer's Slammers Ok, now I have way too many Slammers. I wonder what I'm going to do with them...
	Hammer's Slammers I ran out of the decals and had to improvise a bit...
	Hammer's Slammers Combat cars.
	Hammer's Slammers Maybe I should add some flotsam and jetsam on top of these...
	Hammer's Slammers I kinda like the command car variant.
	Hammer's Slammers The ammo haulers are done in olive green because I gather they are not armored vehicles.
	Hammer's Slammers I put bases under them so they can actually be picked up...
	Hammer's Slammers I need to paint more infantry to go with them.
	Sincanmo guntrucks Guntrucks for the Sincanmo Federation.
	Sincanmo guntrucks The obligatory overhead view.
	Sincanmo guntrucks I added the weapons myself. They come from a variety of sources.
	Sincanmo guntrucks There's three different base models with a variety of weapon options.
	Sincanmo guntrucks The missile launcher is from GZG I believe.
	Sincanmo guntrucks Tribarrels may looks small but they are nasty. Basically a 50cal on steroids.
	Sincanmo guntrucks I'm not quite sure where that turret came from.
	Zaporoskiye Brigade These are for Zaporoskiye Brigade, but the color scheme is intentionally compatible with the Prosperity rebels.
	Zaporoskiye Brigade The obligatory overhead view.
	Zaporoskiye Brigade Heavy tanks galore.
	Zaporoskiye Brigade Light scouting elements.
	Zaporoskiye Brigade Assault guns/tank destroyers.
	Zaporoskiye Brigade These are not exactly on the list, but I painted them nonetheless.
	Zaporoskiye Brigade I was missing two missiles for some reason, so I put this one together from spare parts.
	Zaporoskiye Brigade Gatling support tanks.
	Zaporoskiye Brigade AA defense. Again, not strictly on the list but fits the theme.
	Zaporoskiye Brigade Another view of the tank destroyers.
	Zaporoskiye Brigade It's a big mass of armor.
	Zaporoskiye Brigade Two more light element. I magnetized those turret too, though they are so small it's not really worth the bother.
	Zaporoskiye Brigade More vehicles for Zaporoskiye Brigade and Broglie's Legion.
	Zaporoskiye Brigade The obligatory overhead view.
	Zaporoskiye Brigade Support vehicles for Broglie's Legion.
	Zaporoskiye Brigade The digicamo is done using Anarchy Models' strencils, they are really great!
	Zaporoskiye Brigade A couple of spare turrets and light scout vehicles.
	Zaporoskiye Brigade This is the real turreted version, the others I converted.
	Zaporoskiye Brigade APCs.
	Zaporoskiye Brigade I'm running out of Russian decals. Gotta get some more.
	Zaporoskiye Brigade This is not really related, but I wanted it off my desk.
	Zaporoskiye Brigade Not the best possible turrets, but I'm running out of spares.
	Zaporoskiye Brigade A little heavier missile box.
	Future Tanks Replacement tanks and cargo vehicles.
	Future Tanks The obligatory overhead view.
	Future Tanks These came with driver figures.
	Future Tanks Ofcourse, I didn't bother to check the previous set so the camo is slightly different...
	Future Tanks I quite like this desert hex camo.
	Future Tanks The obligatory overhead view.
	Future Tanks Raided old 40K transfer sheet for insignia.
	Future Tanks Hover APC.
	Future Tanks Command truck.
	Future Tanks More light vehicles.
	Future Tanks Tank destroyers and support.
	Future Tanks These are some force from Hammer's Slammers but I forgot which one.
	Future Tanks The obligatory overhead view.
	Future Tanks There's a variety of turrets, all magnetized.
	Future Tanks Support options.
	Future Tanks Some medium tanks as well.
	Future Tanks Spare turrets.
	Future Tanks The obligatory overhead view.
	Future Tanks I quite like the hover versions.
	Future Tanks More tanks!
