We've had a lot of talk about Stargrunt II recently, a game I've loved since way back in the 90's, having sold and reinvested in 15mm, I was suitably inspired to crack out my figures and get em painted and on the table.
First 20 NSL, GZG figures. Suitably Teutonic looking Germanics.

Another piece finished, Inquisitor Greyfax, a cracking figure, and a lot of fun to paint.
Now if I can do all of my SoB like this I'll be happy!

My first attempt at a 1//72 biplane.
Roden Sopwith Camel Comic
Still needs a pile of work on the paintwork, and a tweak here and there. Decals, weathering etc.
Be gentle 😂

Finally got some decent tracks for this resting project.
With those assembled and fitted, it's on with the figures, they fit the scene and tell the story better than expected!
Onto the support vehicle next.

Just prepping this figure I picked up at Scale Model World Telford.
An Imperial Guard Marine Drummer.
Such a superb pose it was impossible to resist.
28mm Russian for scale.

Cheering myself up with a purchase from Saturday, as a terrible start to the morning.
A WW1 German motorcycle dispatch rider, from Copper State Models, 3d printed.
As you can see the details are incredible, just needs a little tweaking here and there.

Visited the IPMS Scale Model World show in Telford yesterday.
First port of call was CSM where a small sum of money was exchanged for some rather fine products.
The 1916 4hp 2-cyl wanderer MC....... 🤯 stunning!

Working some proof of concept colours and effects on my undead, the way GW have painted them to my eye looks too bright and shiny for dead that have lay rotting.
Thus, dirty fabric, rusty and moulding armour.
Any feedback would be great.

Over the years I've been resistant to buying into GW, but since my son has dived in feet first, apparently so have I!
After months of cajoling I've planted my flag in AoS undead! Beautiful miniatures and strangely addictive. Stands alongside my SoB 😐

Work continues on the T-54 Tiran.
Enamel wash to form a base layer of grime on the engine bay, acrylic chipping on high wear areas on the fighting compartment, followed by a raft of oils to add wear and filth.
Let this dry and then take stock for round two

I've circled back to the T-54 Tiran, fiddly shit.
Completed the basic colours of the interior, including the engine. Added some weathering with the first acrylic layer of rust effects on the exhausts, then added the wiring loom. A quick dry fit, and she fits together beautifully.

A bit more progress on the Königsberg today.
Railings, primary and secondary armaments added, cranes squeezed into place.
Finish off the paintwork, lifeboats to be completed and then added. Weathering, and rigging...... nearly there.

Still very much WiP, a shelf queen that I needed to circle back to.
Flyhawk 1/700 Königsberg as she was before loss at Narvik.
A productive afternoon, repainted the main deck colour, wooden decks, added details etc, not too much further till completion. He says optimistically.

A 'little' interlude to the modelling and historical stuff with prep work on my NetEpic Sisters of Battle.
Had the very first original Epic combined with the first Adeptus Titanicus, so a bit of a memory lane project.
Vanguard figures combined with various 3d prints.
Approx 5000 points.

....... sides are on, and we're off the ground!
That's a milestone out of the way, now to complete the interior whilst avoiding tracks.
