DaveD and other always rib me over Sandbags, so as for the fist time in any Challenge I've painted WWII figures, I thought I'd have some sandbags!!!
I only bought these last week on Etsy, from The Forge Hub. They were only £3.41 plus postage. So I can't complain about the price at all.
They were very easy to paint up, firdtly with a stone colour, the drybrush white.
I wasn't going to base them, but last night thought again. I used artists card and cut out the shapes needed and them based them up in my usual way.
I'm very pleased with them and can't wait to use them in a game.
Once again I'm not really sure how they'll be scored, so I'll leave that up whichever Minion has the job.
From DaveD … who me , who me!… well yes me . I do of course refer you to the end results of very early challenge young Raymondo! Of course you need winter sandbags . These are of course excellent , the basing helps for me / You will thank me in the end as Lee’s Soviet hordes advance and you have extra cover . Good lad - 15 pts it is .
Can we have a interview with the sandbags? What is their condition? Are they in good shape? What do they look like in summer? .... 😁
ReplyDeleteLooks very good Ray! Nice addition for the gaming table! 🍻
Glad you like them, Peter.
DeleteThey look good Ray, I like the basing. Only to be expected given your expertise in sandbagging.
ReplyDelete😆.
DeleteI knew I'd get a nice comment from you, Peter, lol!
DeleteSplendid sandbags, to be expected of you at this stage of the challenge!

DeleteFemale bear, sandbags, expecting to play a game... What else there is to tick? 🤣
ReplyDeleteAnyway, well done Ray, very fitting for Winter War
Thanks Teemu, I am ticking all the boxes, aren't I?

ReplyDeleteCheers Matt!
DeleteWell played Ray. Wonderful and practical sandbags.
ReplyDeleteHopefully they'll get a lot of use?
DeleteWouldn't want to shovel frozen earth into those...
ReplyDeleteMe neither!
DeleteRay it seems you took sandbagging literally!:-) Well done!
ReplyDeleteYes, I did, didn't I?
DeleteGood to see Ray going meta and literal with one of his final posts for the Challenge...
ReplyDeleteAnd why not too, eh Greg?
DeleteThat's brilliant Ray, I must find some of those
ReplyDeleteThey're nice figures, Kerry. A little on the small side, but great to paint up.
