And I'm off on another painting frenzy. Shoulder better, fingers covered in paint. 02hundred is a new game to be played under night conditions. We are playing on 28th and so I need to paint the figures today and tomorrow before I go away for Christmas. As it is entirely night time scenarios I was always going to paint them in grey scale. The figures are from Wargames Foundry's very small but excellent WW2 range
They have come out a little darker than I wanted. The only colour are cap badges and the torch
and the dog's tongue
Love the dog
Officers look good
Now I have to paint the commandos
Scores on the doors
10x28mm infantry = 50 points
Black and white bonus = 20points
total = 70pts
that will do for now.
Have a good Christmas one and all
Martin
______________________
That is a great take on greyscale, Martin, and, like you, I particularly like the dog. I agree, the Foundry WWII range (Perry sculpts) really is terrific, more than holding its own against newer ranges. I saw '02 Hundred Hours' when were in Arnhem this autumn, and I'm kicking myself for not picking it up as it looks like good fun. Maybe I'll snag the digital version to see what it's like. I look forward to seeing your upcoming commandos, but until then have a great Christmas Martin!
A great choice for black and white minis, they should fit the aesthetic of the game very well.

DeleteYes very useful for night manoeuvre gaming, very evocative, nice touch of accent colour! Hope my B&W entry looks as good.
ReplyDeletethanks, sure yours will look fab
DeleteGreat use of greyscale, love the flashes of colour.

DeleteA great choice of subject matter and well executed Martin. The small flashes of colour really make them pop
ReplyDeletecheers mate, the little bits of colour help, I think
DeleteCurt, don't get the digital version, it is incomplete. I complained and got my money back
ReplyDeleteGood to know! You know, I wish the game had a coop mode, where the players ran the commandoes and there was an AI for the baddies. Something to think about modding...
Deletesmart idea, he germans are somewhat programmed so should be possible
DeleteMartin, that's just so well done! I tried greyscale but failed miserably and no avoid it as the proverbial Covid strain. Great stuff!
ReplyDeletecheers, I do like how it looks
DeleteThose are wonderfully done, Martin! The pop of color certainly adds to them well. I really like the effect you got with the soldier holding the torch...very well done!
ReplyDeletethanks, the torch a bit of a fluke - just painted the light yellow!
DeleteThose are very cleverly done
ReplyDeletethank you
DeleteWow, that looks very good indeed! Very atmospheric, great job!
ReplyDeletecheers
DeleteThose came out nicely! The scale grey painting is a nightmare to me, should use your models as a reference
ReplyDeleteTa, it's actually quite easy. paint the whole thing black, look at a colour picture and work out which are the darkest colours and paint them the darkest grey shade. carry on working up the grey shades until you do the face in your lightest shade - medium sea grey is mine. then give a black wash and pick out the face highlights. You need lots of shades of grey or be good a colour mixing - I'm not
DeleteGreat looking greyscale finish, smart idea!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
cheers
DeleteGreat effort. Love the foundry sculpts.
ReplyDeleteCheers, they are very good figs
DeleteGood job on the greyscale, Martin! :)
ReplyDeleteCheers Tamsin
DeleteNice black and white sentries. Glad your shoulder is better and ready for brush twirling.
ReplyDeletecheers, noce to be relatively healthy again
DeleteLooking good matey - looking forward to the game
ReplyDeleteta, they do work well, brits only undercoated
DeleteVery nice! The little pops of red are nice. I look forward to the raiders.
ReplyDeleteCheers
