Counters
New counters and bases from Warbases.

Counters
Here the counters are being painted. This is actually pretty easy, just load the brush with less paint so it's wet but not dripping and carefully paint following the surface of the counter -- the paint won't go into the laser etched detail leaving it black.

Counters
Finished counters. I did these pretty quickly, you could get neater results with a little more time.

Houses
Laser-cut MDF seems to be the latest rage in wargames terrain, so I ordered a few sample buildings from Warbases. These are from their modular buildings range. I'm going to try to see if I can keep them modular even after assembly.

Houses
A couple of clamps help while the glue dries. To be really pedantic, you'd need a couple of stiffer boards under the clamps. The MDF bends a little too much by itself.

Terrain tiles
More tiles in the works. This is going to be the final batch for now.
|
|
Skirmishers
More javelineers for the greeks.
|

Skirmishers
The obligatory overhead view.

Skirmishers
These are actually Wargames Factory Numidians. That box is very versatile, they can be built as pretty much any ancient light troops around the mediterranean.

Skirmishers
I also did a couple of hornblowers. However, I'm not too happy with how the flesh turned out. I should have touched it up after the wash.

Plasticard
My one beef with this material is right here: The sheets are not cut following the embossed design. So if you want a square sheet with aligned design, you'll need to trim the edges yourself.

New Vietnamese
Some reinforcements for my VC. I used the leftover RPGs and added some riflemen from Peter Pig.
|
|
New Vietnamese
The Peter Pig figures are noticeably smaller -- but can you spot them here?
|
|
New Vietnamese
The obligatory overhead view.
|
|
New Vietnamese
Originally I used the kosher basing with the RPG teams, but they are irritatingly difficult to spot in the field so for the new set I put just three figures on a base.
|
|
New Vietnamese
Some more civilians. These are really for the Peter Pig Men Of Company B rules.
|
|
New Vietnamese
Porters. Again, Peter Pig rules let VC use porters.
|
|
New Vietnamese
I should have gotten more standing peasents to mix with these sitting ones.
|
|
New Vietnamese
An ox cart.
|
|
New Vietnamese
King of the Jungle.
|

Another Rumble in the Jungle
The countryside is tranquil...
|
|
New Vietnamese
I really should have given these guys more attention. Unfortunately, that's the problem with 15mm IMHO. When you're doing them, you're doing a hundred of them at one which is fine for rank and file, but quite frankly I just don't have the energy to give the special figures the attention they'd deserve.

New Vietnamese
The obligatory overhead view.

New Vietnamese
The price of war.

Another Rumble in the Jungle
Americans approach the unsuspecting village.
|
|
Another Rumble in the Jungle
The yanks have dug in.
|
|
Another Rumble in the Jungle
The Iron Dragons are on the prowl. I need more ack ack!
|
|
Another Rumble in the Jungle
The crafty Charlie creeps through the ravines.
|
|
Another Rumble in the Jungle
Another ambush in the works.
|
|
Another Rumble in the Jungle
An almost successful assault. Unfortunately, the American firepower prevailed yet again.
|
|
Cargo stack
Another stack of cargo. You have no idea how much white glue this one took and how long it took to dry. Still, I'm not very happy with it...
