A Saturday Evening          


very nice work there Nikaroo 

I think I just need to fly you out to my house for four days and you could finish painting my entire lead pile      

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Interventionist forces ?

Definately a Saturday evening well spent . It's amazing how everything comes together once the magic wash goes on. Now time for these dastardly chaps to make short order of the Broadwood Farm Brigands, unless they are in league together .

[Raider4]

Most excellent, as always.

/sob

How are the infantry based? 40mm x 20mm? And I presume you're using BKC for rules?

Cheers, Martyn.

BUF...well-equipped from Jellalabad barracks, itself receiving kit from overseas.

I reckon they'll be scrapping soon...

Infantry are on 50mm x 25mm; yep - BKC with the lists I put together [here: https://sites.google.com/site/avbcwstormcloudsgather/ ]

nice again Nik. a question if you dont mind ....
looked with envy at the work youve done on the lists. well done ( saved me a lot of time ) 

Do youre bases represent a squad or platoon ! Im going towards each base representing what it is ie 5 men. 2 bases to a squad.

Which leads to my question, im giving a squad 1 lmg, hence 1 lmg per 2 bases. how would you do the stats for the base withe lmg ! Im thinking just upgrade the attacks.

Suggestions 

[nikharwood]

Thanks - glad you like them 

For AVBCW I'm definitely thinking of these as 1:1...for your LMG I'd add in an extra attack dice I think [keeps it simple - bit of a fudge on range maybe but I could live with that]; alternatively, you could do the LMG as a separate, single base? [like I've done here with the anti-tank rifles] - and then stat those appropriately?

[snafu]

cheers

I think Il go with the extra attack dice, keep the range the same as the majority of the squad is rifles. I want to stick with the lewis been an integral pert of the squad. Now must go sculpt one for the BUF

Now must go sculpt one for the BUF 

Coolio - except I'll have to add 'em in to mine now 

Base edges & decals done, matt varnish drying now...on-table pics soonish.

how many points is there !

Im working on some vehicles at moment. Unfair to put pics on leons site as for vehicles i use 144 scale. vehicles that leon doesnt do. just ordered 12 vehicles from Japan in resin, not cheap but there vehicles nobody else does, inc some luvly arm cars, french and italian home made arm cars too. spot on for AVBCW.

Very nice painting Nik.  What I am still amazed at is the speed at which you can turn out painted minis that look soo good!!!

Keep up the great work and keep amazing us with your speed techniques
