"The Path Of Infinite Sorrows" is the title of a book about the Kokoda Trail and Buna-Gona-Sanananda campaigns in Papua New Guinea during WW2, but unusually focusing on the Japanese side.
I bought these figures from The Assault Group to bulk out a different order. I decided to base them individually on 50mm bases so that they can be used as more easily transportable jump off points for Chain of Command (the ones I did in AHPC XII aren't so easily transportable).
<<<adding back in the stuff that went missing>>>
4 x 28mm prone figures @ 2.5 = 10 points
1 x studio @ 20 = 20 points
Total = 30 points
<<<end of adding missing stuff back in>>>
Friday Minion: a bleak take on Jump-off Points here Tamsin, but will serve to keep your points ticking upwards. Half points for the prone figures is 10 for all four, plus the location bonus. Is the basing the old mixed herbs jungle debris trick?
Now where's that spaceship at?
Edit to reply - yes, it's the mixed herbs trick; spaceship will hopefully be next Friday - just bits to go with it to paint, plus decals and weathering on the exterior to do on the ship itself.
Nice painting, Tamsin! Love the bases too.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteGrim but effective. Great basing
ReplyDeleteCheers! :)
DeleteI like the tie-in. Well done Tamsin.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteThat's weird - it seems that most of the post that I drafted and saved has disappeared (pics of the individual bases missing, map missing, a load of text).
ReplyDeleteI'll edit the post to add them back in.
Grim but cool and well painted
ReplyDeleteCheers! :)
DeleteGreat work Tamsin. Love the basing too.Bet it smells nice as well?
ReplyDeleteThanks! The herbs smell nice going on, but it soon fades [or gets locked in]. :)
DeleteGreat work as usual Tamsin!
ReplyDeleteCheers! :)
DeleteVery grim markers, Tamsin. I do like the tones on the figures though and that basing is very evocative of jungle/ forest debris. Did you tint or paint the herbs or select for color? It is very nice basing!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I did mix in a little bit of brown paint with diluted PVA to fix them. :)
DeleteNicely painted. Well done.
ReplyDeleteCheers! :)
DeleteLovely work. Excellent choice of basing details
ReplyDeleteThanks! I've been using the dried herbs on jungle bases for a long time - just right for leaf scatter. :)
DeleteI love the smell of oregano on the wargames table. It’s the smell of victory
DeleteNice work on those Tasmin
ReplyDeleteCheers! :)
