This is my third submission for the challenge as I needed to get a really solid base before going back to work in two days time where things will slow up considerably. This time I have continued with the Armies of Man theme and painted a Regimen of Foot Guard as well as starting my 15mm force with some German Hanomags and finally a solitary Dwarf, just because he was there and looked sad without colour.
Foot Guard
These guys are a mixture of 28mm GW and Fireforge plastics and includes 17 miniatures in total. This regiment will close with the enemy and hold them while units such as cavalry maneuver for flank attacks.
Hanomags
I have always liked the look of WWII forces in 15mm and this year I have decided to paint a force and start playing FoW with the release of V4. These Hanomags will support a Normandy force and provide some armoured cover and fire support for German Grenadiers.
Dwarf
This Scibor Dwarf was obtained in a trade and looked pretty sad unpainted. I quickly colored him in and will probably be a member of an adventuring group for D&D.

Absolutely lovely brushwork Anthony.
The Foot Guards are lovely in their Renaissance-esque garb. There is one chap in there, who, by the looks of his sword, is compensating for something. I really like the spattered shields and dynamic poses.
I like the diffused cammo and weathering of your Hanomags. FoW is okay (which is another way of saying I don't like it), but if you really want to try WWII gaming I strongly urge you to try Battlegroup or CoC as well. Good rules that give great games.
Scibor is getting a lot of attention these past few days in the Challenge and for good reason. This dwarf is terrific! His face is wonderfully done and I like the texturing on his leather jerkin and axe-haft.
138 points for your fine efforts, Anthony. Well done!
more great work love the Humans great looking Regt
ReplyDeleteEvery piece is great, nice mix of subjects
ReplyDeleteIan
Great work as always mate. You should try a proper WW2 game like Bolt Action ;)
ReplyDeleteAh, Scibor Dwarves strike again! But they are lovely figs! reat work on the guard and those 251s as well!
ReplyDeleteI have some 1/56 Universal Carriers on the desk for next submission Malkav!
ReplyDeleteWow love the foot guards, especially the shields.
ReplyDeleteStunning. Foe me the highlights are the shields on the foot guards. and the hanomags camouflage. But everything is really good.
ReplyDeleteLovely work Anthony :)
ReplyDeleteThose shields are ace! Really make the unit. Nice hanomags too, one of my favourite vehicles.
ReplyDeleteGreat painting work. I like a lot the Dwarf.
ReplyDeletevery very nice, I specially like the Foot Guards but the other mini's are grand too!
ReplyDeleteThe foot guards are particularly nice cracking job
ReplyDeleteWell done! Really like your take on the Hanomags!
ReplyDeleteThese are excellent!
ReplyDeleteAll of it looks very nice Anthony!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Lovely work all around, but my faves are the foot guard. Well done!
ReplyDeleteSuperb, especially the foot guard unit.
ReplyDeleteThese are brilliant. I have quite a few of those Fireforge plastics and quite like them. You've one a lovely job with them. I second the thoughts on FoW, though if it's your cup of tea then more power to you. You models look great though. I'm jealous. The Dwarf is my favorite however. That's a great sculpt and you've really done it justice.
ReplyDeleteI second Curt's comment about the shields, very nice look and effect! That extra bit really makes them stand out as an amazing entry to me.
ReplyDeleteI love the dynamic poses and spattered shields on the foot!
ReplyDeleteA very very strong entry all around, with much to like.
ReplyDeleteThe Hanomags really do it for me. The muted colours and inking of details work well.
Very nice work on all of these, Anthony!
ReplyDeleteThe dwarf is a fantastic mini with really good brushwork, and the German vicks are outstanding too!
I really like the fantasy regiment, they have a lot of really fine animation and the wear on the armor really sells em as veterans! ;)
