SITREP – Enforcers (Part 4)

14/11/2020

Another Monday hangout (chatting with a fellow friend about how to make some more cultists for his Necromunda gang) but also, we got into the final week of assembly for my Enforcers! Yeah, I’m shocked as well. With a total of 16 plastic figures (and a secret additional set that arrived this week), this project is already a chunky one, giving me a sizeable group I’ve poured my ideas into. But enough of that, let’s take a look at this weeks work. First step, the last two chunky boys. Sorry “Subjugators”. These two were both designed to be the backup…
SITREP – Enforcers (Part 3)

02/11/2020

First Monday in November so I spent it building some rather large lads for my Enforcers. The Subjugators are the rather large gentlemen who will be kicking in some doors, taking the lead (and the incoming lead) when it comes to breaking into the gang hideout. After working out a rough list, I needed to assemble two more figures for my starting gang – a Subjugator with a grenade launcher (but no shield) and then the Subjugator champion with his beating stick. And then I decided to have some fun. Objective number 1 – grenade launcher man. Due to the…
November Projects Update

02/11/2020

It’s time for a new month! And with the UK about to re-enter national lockdown (not that I’ve noticed much different), there is probably going to be a little more hobby time. As you’ve seen, I’ve really enjoyed posting my little updates, helped especially by the Monday painting sessions with my Dastardly Regular Opponent among others. But one thing I have missed is talking about ongoing projects, using a post as a sort of summary/catch up/reminder of how things are going. Project Space Marines The big boys first – I actually painted a squad worth of dudes last month. These…
News: Anthalonica Wargaming

01/11/2020

One exciting thing about Modern Wargaming is seeing a new company coming online doing something new. Anthalonica Wargaming is one such new company, coming out soon with a release of brand new range focused around police action in the UK. They have already shown off a few sculpts and I have to say, I’m pretty interested in seeing the final product. Based off some of the Facebook posts, I think the 28mm range is (in part) done by Anton at Flytrap Factory. There are definitely some similarities to the Contiki guys done by him in the past and he does…
News: Spectre Halloween Releases

30/10/2020

Well it’s the spookiest time of the year, and with things coming back to life, what a better time for Spectre to release it’s new figures! Following on from the previews earlier this month, we now have all four of those releases as well as a special halloween release! This fighter is wearing basic and outdated off the shelf CBRN kit. Unlikely to give meaningful or long lasting protection from hazardous environments, what ever job he is doing, he must do it quickly. He is armed with a stripped down MILKOR grenade launcher, intended for use in relative short distance…
SITREP – Monday Construction

28/10/2020

Another Monday in quarantine, another hobby sessions with people. As well as my opponent (still in Marine land), two other wargaming friends jumped in to work on some projects (tiny Knights and yet more Space Marines). I of course was working on something totally different… Space Marines! Wait… Yeah, I’ve finally finished assembling all the Primaris Space Marines I suddenly seem to have collected from various places. They still need to be undercoated and then painted but I seem to have enough guys for maybe a small force for 40k. I don’t intend to play 40k but I might end…
Chain of Command – Attack on Al-Papsi: Part 2

27/10/2020

Back in the heady days of September we actually played the second mission in the campaign set in North Africa. However, before we get into the battle, I finally rolled up the details of my command team, using the details from the At The Sharp End PDF book. Name Background Age Origin Description Senior Leader Thomas Fuchs ex-Doktor of Engineering 32 Berlin Tall and Thin Zug 1 Claus Haber Sturmabteilungsmann (street fighter) 28 Koln Short and full of fight Zug 2 Manfred Braun Ex-Gamekeeper on a large estate 23 Eberswalde Average Sort Zug 3 Horst Günther Inner City School, Ex-Hitler…
SITREP – Enforcers (Part 2)

20/10/2020

Another Monday, another long-distance painting session with the Dastardly Regular Opponent. While he started work on some more armour for our chain of command games, I decided to take a break from painting Space Marines to assemble some more of my Enforcers. Remember them? Well, I have managed to start putting the basic list together so might as well put a few more cool guys together. As in the first SITREP, the idea is to make some Sci-Fi Mercs ready to act as enforcers in the Underhive. First up, we have the Captain. One of the McNespy boys, sent by…
