At the weekend I managed to paint up some more heavy weapons teams from Armies Army- The Rusks. They were a little rushed, so the painting is probably a bit untidy, but I do enjoy these mini dioramas!
First of all, a manned gun crew, with a weapon pinched from a GZG set because that's what I wanted in my set-up.
Reverse view
These are all mounted on their own 30mm bases, but for a little bit of interest I've posed them in one of my terrain hexes (also knocked up this weekend).
Rocket launcher/heavy laser doohicky....
Obverse view.....
Plasma Gun or similar (help me out Keith!), with loader and spare power pack.
And here's the other side.
All bases are from Warbases, in fact I also took delivery of some of their destroyed buildings last week, also made of MDF, and I'm really pleased with them. Pics when painted.
I also would like to mention the Armies Army Kickstarter that has commenced recently. Keith has some great ideas in the pipeline, and a good level of support already, so I wish to put in a plea on his behalf for a little helping hand, and we'll all benefit from another range of figures to add to the lead pile, or better still, sneak to the front of the queue! Details on the Armies Army blog.
Thanks for looking in!
These look superb and those hex bases really set the scene, great work sir!
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly Brummie! I put them on the hexes to draw your eye away from all the untidy bits on the minis, but I don't want you to go back now with a magnifying glass!!!!
DeleteThose are really awesome.
ReplyDeleteI like the glow on the plasma weapon.

Thanks very much Eli! I'm hoping to get around to painting some of your fabulous sculpts from 15mm.co.uk before too long!
DeleteVery nice work The bases have spiffy cover! I can almost here the weapons' fire.
ReplyDeleteThat's very kind, thanks Jay! By the way, I hope your wife recovers quickly from her surgery, and that all returns to normal sooner rather than later!
ReplyDeleteThanks much, Sir.
DeleteVery cool.The figures look great and I'm inspired to do some more work on my "brown" hex layout now that I've finished the concrete one. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteOkay then, I'll have a ton of sand and a gallon of PVA sent round directly! Thanks for the encouragement Spacejacker!
DeleteYes yes yes yes
ReplyDeletereally nice!
It is indeed a plasma gunner. A sort of futuristic RPG of sorts
Thats how I use them anyhow :)
Glad you're happy with the results Keith. I've just a few more of the new batch to paint then I'll have done the full set of new releases (as well as the mule of course!)
DeleteVery ncie looking results! Wot rules are they based for?
ReplyDeleteWell, we're using SA5150 rules at the moment, tweaking them a little and using the weapons teams as assets or using our own reinforcement tables. I have a copy of Tomorrow's War (we have previously used Force On Force), and also had a dabble with FUBAR for a quick skirmish, so don't mind trying different rule sets. I haven't yet had a look at Gruntz, but hear many good things. Do you have a preference or recommendation?
