I actually forgot who the manufacture is - they could be AB or Eureka and I bought them maybe 4-5 years ago.
One of my friends at the wargaming club is doing an "AK-47" Republic project and these lads will see table top service there in his make believe African Nation.
The group has some heavy weapons in the form of a machine Gun, Bazooka and mortar but since these are super simple no points for them.
I used army painter SpeedPaint 2.0 for thses and I'm still trying to figure out if I like it or not.
Anyway, I'm finally on the board with 84 points!

SPECIAL EDITION - Hello everyone - Wednesday Minion GregB here with a Thursday appearance! Thursday Minion Teemu has kindly allowed me to drop this in today, as it was intended to be Miles' opening post for his AHPC XV run, but ended up delayed due to a misunderstanding on my part. Thanks Teemu, and apologies to Miles!
Very nice Miles, and I have to admit I experience an extra layer of intrigue around "AK-47 Republic". These are the Peter Pig rules, correct? They seem so...well, kind of mysterious, kind of understated. I think this is a system that divides the table into squares/sections in some way? They seem to have a whole suite of rules for different eras, but I confess they are a mystery to me and have not tried them.
So with all of that in mind, I will be keen to hear your thoughts on "AK-47 Republic". I'm sure the imaginary regime involved with these French Foreign Legion soldiers will be completely upstanding and face no complications at all...
84 points for you - and apologies for the delay!! Great opener Miles! We'll get you back to standard Wednesday timing next week!

Fantastic to see some 15mm historicals :) I've also just gone from Speeepaint 1 to 2 and so far am loving the extra colours, and the quick drying. Haven't tried any over panting yet, but overall I think I'm sold. A few more muted colours would be great, but wil have to try some mixing to tone down some of the vibrancy. Looking forward to seeing more of your pile.
ReplyDeleteThe Vallejo Xpress range has military colours.
DeleteNice work Miles. Just to be clear they are figures from the 2010s representing 1980s era troops, or are the figures themselves 40 years old.
ReplyDeleteTop job. You can never have too much foreign legion
ReplyDeleteNot been kidnapped then Miles ? Nice start
