Some swapping and some painting...

 

 

When I bought my Minifigs SYW collection it came with a load of unpainted figures included (or should have done - took 2 months to get them from the seller). They turned out to be mostly Old Glory FIW figures so they are going off to Colonel Bills for credit and in exchange I am getting 2 units of WOTR men at arms and 2 units of Scurrers to round out my WOTR forces.

This continues trying to keep my hobby cost neutral.

 

I have also been slowly working through some stuff on the workbench.

Finished texturing all the Dendermonde defences and managed to undercoat most of them - when it stops raining the rest will be done and then I'll start the dry-brushing...

I have arranged a Rapid Fire Reloaded game at the club tomorrow with my 20mm collection based on a scenario in the Blitzkreig book.  I am having to sub in some figures (mostly MG34s for MMGs and 2pdrs for 25pdrs) - I have got a ton of unpainted and part painted SHQ and some EWM figures so it has prompted me to dig out some stuff to paint:

2 x Quads and 25pdrs and crew

3 x Boyes AT teams

4 x Vickers MMG and crews

I will probably also order some proper MMGs for the early war germans (I am using paratrooper ones at the moment) and some early AT rifles to replace the Airfix panzerfauste figures!

I also need more CO figures for HQ sections - so need to look at Raventhope of someone, I think.

I was actually running the game to encourage me to think about getting my French WW2 army that I bought from Eric Knowles estate rebased and sorted (including the colonial elements)...
