15mm BEF

[fred.]

Having read the rules I can see no reason why 30x30 wouldn't work. There is some explanation in the rules about so many this to that in measurement, but it simply boils down to one mm = one metre, so that it looks right with 12mm figures, so I guess 10mm on 30mm frontage would be fine, or 15mm on a square 30mm base. I just went with their suggestion because I was starting from scratch, and to be honest, their 12mm figures are at the top end of 12mm. I also have my 8" squares cloth, so even on bigger bases I can still use them for Square Bashing.

Thats good news. I'd thought the photos on their website looked like square based figures, but perhaps I hadn't looked too closely. It does seem to be a game with very little information about it.

I'll start a thread on it on the rules board.

I tried a slightly different style with the second battalion, giving the flesh a GW Reikland flesh wash and the rest of the figure a ......... Sepia wash, which seemed to produce a richer tone than Agrax Earthshade (which I tried on one casualty figure). I still used Vallejo satin varnish and then magic was to finish off:



I have also done one stand of Germans, again using GW washes (or shades as they call them). I finally settled on Vallejo Light Grey as the basic uniform colour. When completed the face and hands got the flesh wash again, the buff helmet covers the sepia wash and then the rest of the figure Nuln Oil. All in all not too bad, but when I come to doing more Germans I think I will use the burnt umber undercoat rather than black. The figures were again finished with satin varnish followed by brown Magic Wash.

Still not 100% happy with them. I think I will go back to the original method I devised for the BEF. Also, I still think the Germans are a little dark and may well lighten the grey further before doing the shade. If that doesn't work I will seriously have to consider commas of light grey as a highlight over the Nuln Oil. On the other hand, I do like the flesh wash and I think the Sepia will work well with brown horses. Next up a British lancer regiment mounted and dismounted with horseholder, mounted and dismounted machine gun and casualty figure to group the 1914 morale markers round.

Been on Holiday, so belated thanks for the painting details for the (H)(M) MG

Bit slow off the mark here as I have already produced the first cavalry unit, mounted and dismounted by Peter Pig with mounted HMG and horseholder by TSS. Also first artillery battery (18pdrs - again by PP). will try and get those photoed and posted later.

Those are rather good Leman.

Lovely stuff, Andy.

Most impressed !

Like the looks of 'em, Leman. Love the lancers, makes me want to read Forester's "The General" again.

Very nice work and I love the bamboo look to the lances
