Something tasty for Samwise?
Continuing in similar vein, some dinosaur descendants:
The bunnies and birdies are 28mm from Warbases. as the individual critters are quite small, I think 2 points per base would be reasonable.
These will be used as jump off points or objective markers for Chain of Command, or simply as scatter terrain.
And finally my Uncle Joe
Well, an IS-2 tank...
The turret isn't glued in position, so that it can be rotated for "What A Tanker!"
This is 15mm from Plastic Soldier Company. For the base I decided to try something new - layering the static grass. I think there are something like five different layers (and three different grass mixes) on this one. It definitely looks much better than the standard "dab on PVA, apply static grass, shake off excess" technique.
Scoring:
Bunnies - 2 points
Chickens - 2 points
IS-2 - 8 points
Total - 12 points
Now to start on my next entries....
_____________________________________
The bunnies and chickens are great additions for almost any tabletop while that IS-2 serves as the brutal counterpoint to this submission. I like the effect the extra steps provided for your groundwork Tamsin. The multiple shades and lengths adds some nice texture and colour depth to the base - well done.
12 points for you to break your duck. Now you're off to the races. :)
Great stuff. The chickens and rabbits will look great on any table. The IS-2 looks suitably imposing too.
ReplyDeleteso that's a pretty eclectic start. cool
ReplyDeleteVery cute Tamsin!

Well done Tamsin! Love those bunnies and chickens. Would you mind elaborating your gras layering technique? Quite intrigued by the look you achieved.
ReplyDeleteLayering technique -
Delete1. Apply first layer of static grass as normal
2. After shaking off excess, dab PVA (or whatever glue you are using) in spots over the first layer
3. Add second layer of static grass (normally a different colour/length)
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you are happy with the look.
I used 3 different grass mixes on this base:
2mm Patchy with 4mm Dead (War World Scenics)
2mm Spring (Noch)
2mm Summer (Noch) - that was my final layer
Brillantly done, the extra effort really looks good!
DeleteVery nice work now next you need to paint Samwise some 'taters'
ReplyDeleteI’ve been thinking about getting some bunnies as well. Nice work on the tank #notatanker
ReplyDeleteCute stuff, Tamsin... eh, apart from the tank obviously, which looks deadly dangerous :-)
ReplyDeleteVery nice entry Tamsin, good to see you back. Those little critters would be useful so so many things, you are just adding to my lead pile.....
ReplyDeleteGreat start Ms P! Love those bunnies and chickens- they also make great objective or loot markers for ancients or medieval scenarios.
ReplyDeleteThat Stalin is a brute!
I love the stands of cuteness. And the bunnies and chickens
ReplyDeleteGreat fluffy start to the challenge Tamsin!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! Glad you all like the cuteness :)
ReplyDeleteThe Stalin may be a brute, but it is a cute one ;)
Nice bunnies,chickens and IS2!(nice IS2 does sound weird though!)
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Excellent work! I really like your flocking ~ the extra work looks great! Thanks too for the extra steps info.
ReplyDeleteGrand work, Tamsin! Uncle Joe does not approve of lurkers from behind I see. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe animal bases are very well done!
