Soviet 57mm Tank Killer Company
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
To think I'm less than half done with the non armor elements of the army... thank goodness I'm just 3d printing everything
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I do appreciate the base to model ratio FOW infantry offers, so much modeling opportunity for fun little dioramas

45mm Soviet Anti Tank battery
Tumblr media
In formation as part of the Hero Rifle Battalion, to provide basic light AT
Tumblr media
They're going to be paired up with the in formation 82mm mortars and a pair of the 57mm guns for a decent mix. Honestly not a fan of the 76mm given the abundance of it in T-34s and KV-1s already
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sadly in late war I feel like these are almost a waste, better to drown cars and APC in PTRD or just bring real guns for big guys I think

Hero Soviet Rifle Platoon is complete
Tumblr media
I cannot believe that this is only 5 points of guys... I'm not sure how I'm going to survive this. I'm not sure how anyone fields full sized battalions of these guys either!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The command elements, including kommissar
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Flames of War definitely leans on Hollywoodisms and vibe with their rules, which can get a little annoying and dehumanizing, but the appeal of little guys in more traditional back and forth wargames is alluring and nostalgic to me

Has anyone here had any experience with Battlegroup? I've heard it's a good alternative that's more crunchy

T-34 was promised, T-34 is delivered
Tumblr media
I'm not sure I love the snow effect on the armor, but uh, it's not gonna come off soo
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I keep throwing out lists I'll never play, but I'm fond of a 2 formation list for the double bubble of rerolls v4 flames of war gives you, so this will probably be a member of a standard T-34 battalion accompanying my hero rifle battalion
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I've got some KV-1's too, but I think the sheer point efficacy of field guns in formation with the hero rifles is gonna have to work, since the KVs were just trundling along with the infantry anyways so the T-34s can get their zoomies out

I've been sitting on some printed Flames of War Soviets for a while, and decided to knock out the first team in my Hero Rifle Battalion
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Not really focused on being mega historically accurate, just having fun with it. I've been painting a t-34 at the same time, but she's not quite done yet
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Haven't been doing a whole lot lately, kinda getting married soon, started a new job, things have been a little busy, but I needed to do sooomething paint related

Helldivers 2 is pretty great. I'm a really big fan of (Verhoevan) Starship Troopers, and I feel like I could write a whole essay about how "seen" I feel with this game. I do love that this game has resurrected the old discourse about the film, some things never change
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
My friend got me the game after he found out I hadn't been on it yet, declaring it "made for me" and "wtf are you doing", and yeah he's right. Thanks Gman

Kitbashed this Everest together for Lancer a while ago, and having recently played through Titanfall 2 again, decided on the basic BT look after I couldn't decide how to paint him
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tried to mimic the official Everest design I've seen floating around, but I'm partial to the blocky style head so I stole that from a Battletech Highlander
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Actually a lot is from Battletech, the legs are an Assassin and the Torso is a Black Knight. I love the Vladof guns from Borderlands so I found one of those for my assault rifle, and the arms are from the free mech set Filamentio released. I think that's most of it...

Oh shoutout to Death Ray Designs for their shark mouth nose art and industrial decals, they're great

@kaffykathy I did! My reddit account should have a link to my tumblr on it, I don't post there too much anymore
A fun project I took on after I realized I didn't have the shelf space for all the gunpla I would like. I'll just make em battletech scale instead. Here's my 6 standard Zaku ii I printed n painted

I really want to commission somebody who's like, wicked good at repainting figures to paint me a godzilla in Kaiju colors. I think that would be a very nice thing to have.

Fodder finished!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Whipped up some movement trays to tie them together, I'm pretty happy about how they came out. These have been sitting on my shelf for a while now, so I'm glad they're finally done with. Maybe someday I'll actually clear my backlo... nah who am I kidding
Tumblr media
That one on the left will have a flag on that pole eventually, I just need to finish designing them first

Your canopy work is absolutely breathtaking. Amazing work. 10/10 glass: would smear grubby fingers all over.
I sat on this for a while and forgot about it, sorry
Thank you so much! It took a lot of space marine eye lenses to get here. And be sure to varnish first before grubbing, so we can just wipe that off afterwards

Sorry to bother, but where did you find that model you used for the Ronin NPC back in September? It looks fantastic
Not a bother at all, it's on thingiverse as the AH-KU MKii uploaded by filipturz

The ping ponging between projects continues, I got some paint on the Fodder I've been putting together using the official Turnip28 torsos that dropped a while back, mixed mainly with the free medieval infantry kits made by Ilhadiel and some other free bits from online

I'm thinking of going with the Parsnip Pistoliers for my regiment name

Getting some work done on the Macedonians, going fast and dirty with them for a fun "break" from more intense projects

Works been rough and my car is having a time so a nice repetitive calming exercise like this is nice

What? Tyranids? Why would I be posting tyranids? Clearly my next, most important project was printing a full 256 man Macedonian Phalanx. Historia Civilis binges will do that to you, unfortunately

A little Art vs Artist to end the year. I'm pretty happy with how much I got done this year, and at how far I've managed to come. I've been helping a friend get started with miniature painting, and finding some of the old Starship Troopers minis I painted almost 15 years ago has really put into perspective how much experience I really have at this point. I think my main goal for 2024 is actually finishing a whole army for myself. Usually they end up being sold or were commission from the get go. Maybe videos? Idk that's a lot, and I'm lazy
Here's to another 15
