This week’s post was finishing off the Foxhounds<\/a>. I’m really happy that I have finally got these vehicles done – they have been sat on my desk for over a year at this point but now they get to go into the completed project box. Hopefully, they should be out on the board the next time I run a game featuring the ADF but I’ll have to work something out to really show them off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, I updated last week’s battle report with some post-game analysis. Seeing as people really liked it, I’m going to try and expand what I do with battle reports, as well as getting more games in. Go and take a look at the updated write-up!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEWS<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First up with have a double bill of news from Tiny Terrain Models. Last weekend at Colours, they were there with a brand new terrain board for their set of rules focused on the First Chechen War. As you can see in the picture above, and in the gallery on Facebook<\/a>, it’s rather beautiful. Tinned Fruit<\/a> helped to assemble it and you can see his skill in just how nice the buildings are. Overall, this is another occasion where I’m annoyed that I’m up in Edinburgh and so can’t really make it down to Newbury to attend Colours. Luckily, Tiny Terrain should be at Fiasco in Leeds in October so fingers crossed I should be able to lay my eyes on it there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But that’s not all for fans of Russians and Chechens clashing. Tiny Terrain also announced the date for the upcoming Kickstarter<\/a>. This is the second part to the very successful original Kickstarter, adding even more figures (including a few more Chechens with AKs to balance out the vast number of RPGS) all from the sculpting hand of Igor. Ignoring my distaste of prone figures (i’ll get over it) I think some of these sculpts are fantastic. If I was more interested in this conflict, I’d be putting money aside for this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kickstarter will begin on the 1st of October, keep a close eye on the Tiny Terrain Facebook page for more details<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One of the MDF Wizards I have contact with, REDVectors, has just announced the completion of a recent commission<\/a>. It’s a 28mm scale cargo ship suitable to play over. Stretching around 6ft long, the ship has interiors letting your team of operators clear it deck by deck. It can also be broken down into smaller parts for storage and transport. There are plenty of cool details so I recommend taking a look at the gallery I linked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I mentioned when the news came out, this style of ship was what we had in mind when writing Cargo Inspection for Plausible Deniability. So if you want to play that scenario and don’t mind dropping the cost, this is perfect for setting up the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

White Dragon Miniatures are back and showing off more of their Afghan Insurgent range<\/a>. These guys are some really cool new poses, including some you don’t see very often (when was the last time an insurgent pulled a sidearm in your game?). It’s going to be really cool when all the various poses are available – one thing that was apparent when talking to them at shows is that White Dragon is using all the benefits of 3D sculpted figures to allow for a huge amount of variety in the range. Keep your eyes peeled to see what’s coming up next

(Also I really need to get my British Infantry rebased and painted :|)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PURCHASES<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Nothing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOBBY<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As you might have guessed, most of the work for this week was getting the Foxhounds finished off. For full details, check the post<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My weekend tasks has been assembling more Humvee Weapons from the latest order. I’ll be taking a look at these in Friday’s post so stay tuned for more details on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve also started looking at how much work it would be to convert the turret ring of the Empress M-ATV to fit the Spectre weapons properly. It would be ideal if all my US vehicles shared the same turrets, letting me swap in the various versions as they were needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
