From Richard P - 10mm Iraq 1941 Project IRAQI POLICE

Another of the 2020 projects is a 10mm WW2 project using the wonderful book by Alan Hamilton "A Wargamer's Guide to the Campaign in Iraq 1941"


The plan is to have the entire project finished by November this year ready to begin a series of campaign games as detailed in the book. The rules I will be using are Blitzkrieg Commander IV from Pendraken Miniatures.

First two units complete are both Iraqi Police using the 10mm Pendraken British from their Colonial Zulu War Range as a proxy as suggested in the Guide. A total of 18 bases (16 rifles and 2 HQ) giving a total of 54 miniatures.

What a unique little project!  That region of the world has certainly seen its share of challenges, but yours will be quite a different take on it to what we usually associate with Iraq.

54 figs for points points Sir!

From RichardP: 28mm War of the Roses/Medieval (120 Points)

Managed to get these finished just in time!

My main project this year is a 28mm Medieval theme focussing mainly on the War of the Roses. First up 24 figures making up two units (6 bases) of archers for Lord Roos. Figures are mainly Front Rank with some Crusader Miniatures and a few plastics.








Time to get cracking on the rest!!!!

Ah the War of the Roses. I can never understand it, but wow, does it look cool on the table. Even if the (relatively) lowly archers are colourful and impressive.  They look great all ranked up here. That will be a 120 point kick off, we look forward to seeing more.

Richard P - 20mm Costa Verde (92 Points)

One of the aspects of this hobby I enjoy the most is Fictional games as it's a great opportunity to use those unusual figures and vehicles in an environment that they may not ever appear together. A group of us have been fighting over the fictional Black Sea country of Andreivia for over five years now. I have been working on the background for a fictional Central African (although it may turn out to be Central American, not sure yet) and have started painting up forces for this project.

First up twenty 20mm figures that will be used as a Local Militia force. Figures actually Portuguese Bush War figures from Enfilade Miniatures.






Next a die cast completely repainted to join the Costa Verde Highway Patrol.



ByronM - Some good looking figures there, I like the poses of the figures as they look ready to get into action.  Nice clean paint job on them as well, and neutral enough to be used for many different theaters. I like the police car repaint too, however you may want to try a little variation on the windows, I know it's really hard to do windows right so I understand why you did single colour and its perfectly fine to leave it like that, but adding 1 or 2 darker or lighter shades along the top or bottom to give it some depth may help break up that large area of solid coloured flat surface. 

I like the idea of a self designed background as you have complete control over what you want to do with it and freedom to change as you go, and if your group has had enough fun with the last made up place that they are all willing to start a new one, that makes it sound like you have a great gaming group going.

92 well deserved points for your local militia force.
