Today we have 4 more Anglican league. I say Anglican league as the man with the flag has a sky blue sash which is of course one of the colours of the AL. The guy on the far right of the first picture is "Foundry" and I am told the rest are Great war miniatures. The flag is by Pete Barfield and sold by "Solway". The figures are all for Matt and his VBCW collection all in 28mm and he has already expressed his pleasure so I am sure he will like them in the flesh. There are of course more on the painting table so I would expect some more again soon. Just give me a couple of days.Overall they have been fun an easy to paint and I will of course welcome more from him if/when he chooses.
Other News:
My Secret Santa stuff has arrived from the manufacture and will be repackaged and sent to the appropriate person slightly closer to the time. Very swift service (2 days) so I am quite impressed but needless to say I cannot tell you which manufacture as that may give it all away! But then again it may not.
Other Non wargaming news.
Yes I do play computer games and have been playing "World of Tanks" on the PC for a few month now. I do not play for long just 1 game every now and again and then I go and do something more productive. So Imagine my surprise when I was playing a Leopard Light tank (VK16.02) a tier 5 tank and was awarded a medal. The description of the medal had the words "New Record" at the bottom. Yes I nearly fell off of my chair! It turns out that driving that tank (and that tank only) I achieved the highest score that that particular vehicle has ever achieved in the game. Well I was flabbergasted! 
For those that do not play world of Tanks (probably most of you to be honest) The Light Tank (VK 16.01) "Leopard" was based on the Panzer II Auf J (VK16.01) and the Panzer II Auf M (VK13.01) An experimental tank that never went into full production although over 300 were planed. The 1st Prototype was built in September 1942. And while it never got into full production the turret did. The turret was produced and fitted to the SDKFZ 234 (2) Puma. These last two pictures were taken from my computer to show what the vehicle would have looked like if ever produced.
Right that is my self important waffling over, now back to figure painting.
Thanks for looking and I hope you have a great weekend. All the best Clint
Lovely work on the Leaguers Clint and I am sure the the Archbishop of Canterbury will be approving of the new unit. I have been getting into the World of Tanks for a while but never of the time as it does seem a hoot.
ReplyDeleteThanks once again for the kind words about the flag.
Thank you Pete. The Flags are very good and I would be happy if I could paint that well. Another of my friends will be doing Russian sailors and Kent Miners of which the Archbishop most likely will not approve!
DeleteI should coco about the Archbishop not approving, damn reds on the doorstep. Just to let you and your friend know Sloppy Jalopy are releasing Miners should including two banner bearers to carry a larger miners banner.
DeleteWill do Thanks PK
DeleteNice militia.
ReplyDeleteThanks John 13 more on the painting table as I type this. So expect a couple more blog posts.
DeleteAll good stuff, the AL forces are building quite rapidly now and with 13 more to come, i feel a combat with the Nationalist is imminent.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joe. I feel that any combat might have to wait until after Xmas as In a Frostgrave campaign at the club and we play next weekend.
DeleteSplendid work Clint, world of tanks looks fun too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael. WOT is like any MMO game there are good people as well as idiots.
DeleteFine work once again Clint! Love the flag bearer and the chap saluting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob. It has been a struggle to get any painting done today. But the others are slowly coming on. Today though real life got in the way.
DeleteWell, congratulations on the World of Tanks record - even if it is for a very obscure vehicle :-) !
ReplyDeleteThank you C6. I got very lucky and it was luck and not skill I am sure.
DeleteClint "Tank Ace" Wittmann!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lee. To be honest I only fired the tank gun twice in the game and realise I should not has as it drew attention to me. I would have been better off not firing at all (IT's gun is only a 50mm and will not penetrate most armours at tier 5 and above) by not firing I could have moved a little more and stayed out of trouble. But it is tempting to shoot at things!!!
DeleteGreat brushwork Clint!
ReplyDeleteCheers Mate, more on the way, but they are going slowly.
