All finished! ‘He’s on me!’
‘I’m on him’ all finished for my dad. A trio of fighters from tumbling dice models.
Light isn’t great in my house, but waiting for a break in the rain in daylight outside means… March.

Rohan Royal Guard. Tricky figures to paint I found. I’ve never been great at doing all the shimmering metallic stuff and the notion of spending 50 hours in purgatory doing NMM on scale armour isn’t for me. Green cloaks have come out well, though fighting in something that long is ill advised!

Finished these last night. Arguably my favourite models GW ever produced. Eowyn the shield maiden, and Eowyn in the battle for Helms deep. I’ve painted them loads of times before, but these are specifically for MESBG next year. No surprises, im doing Rohan.

WIP of my dads Xmas present. It will have 3 aircraft fighting over the South Downs far below. Rookie mistake of not ordering enough Perspex rod, but that’s an easy fix that I can get more by next week.
Me109 chaser is complete and the saviour spitfire ready too. Not long now!

With a voice like a Melodic Siege engine that crushes ancient walls in its wake. Nina lead Lowen last night into an astounding set of Sumerian doom metal.
Life affirming shit. Felt the emotion and sound wave push into the pillar behind me.
Incredible music.

Recently, one of our players completed a campaign with her first character. During the game, her characters Mentor was slain in the final battle in a moving scene.
I comissioned @carnaby.bsky.social to make a stained glass window of him as a Birthday gift for her.
Absolutely amazing.

Rapier Missile systems. I’ve done them in a park in Berlin to give a bit of colour. The cables are made from pipe cleaners I removed the fluff off. Lovely models!

Berlin Brigade air support thundering in at 0 feet.
Blackburn Buccaneers in 1:144 scale for team Yankee. Game wise, these will be stand ins for Harriers.
Fantastic 3D prints from Quentin, a chum who was with me at Warfare today in Farnborough!

Wolfgang and his Bratty wagon! The absolute staple and legend of Soltau. Master of manhandling his Mercedes’ grill van across the tank rutted training grounds of west Germany. Supplying enough Sausage and cold Pils to the soldiers of the BAOR that he paid for a caravan park for his daughter!

On patrol with the Tigers, as the Royal Hampshires support the 14/20th Hussars down the Berlin Wall line.
Berlin Wall prints from Patrick Miniatures. Painted largely by my daughter with some copies of original designs in there too.

Immaculate last post from Alice Boileau today at the Chailey war memorial. Her brass playing remains an absolute triumph and the students taught by her are extraordinarily lucky to have such a talent.
A quiet and moving small local ceremony.

Awaiting their L6 Wombats on Tuesday, but otherwise this platoon of British Mechanised infantry of the Berlin Brigade is all done. One more 432 for them and those will be finished as well. These have been a joy to paint in parts. Can’t wait to play them!

Proof of concept for basing these Berlin Brigade infantry. Roadside kerbs with infantry crossing them. I’ve got some bins and other street detritus on the way to make the bases pop as well. I reckon this could work!

*visible sweating* Gad damn what a game! @leeparnell.bsky.social and I locked horns in an absolute slug fest. Right down to the wire. The very last roll of the die of my Cheiftains not getting back into the assault was absolutely incredible.
Cracking first outing for the Berlin Brigade!

The phantoms will be replaced with Buccaneers in the future, and adding an infantry platoon and some 432s with all the trimmings!

Things i now regret.
Right, Berlin Brigade camo actually compresses on smaller vehicles. Which makes it way more complex.
And jesus wept. This sucked ass to paint. I've got three more to do, and i'm looking forward to it the same amount as getting a lobotomy. Ugh.
