Yep I am still working on my armies for the Spanish Civil war.... Although I must admit I am running out of steam.
These are all Pendraken 10mm figures. Actually the Anti Tank gun is old Skytrex Action 200. Which n longer seem available. And that just shows how old I am. These are all nationalist troops, but that said there is no reason they could not be Republican troops. It really was not as clear cut as we would like to think. The Antitank crew are actually WW2 British Navy, but does that matter? I think not. There is no point in playing the SCW and getting fussy about which is which and what is what. Everyone used anything they thought was best.
I was lucky enough to be asked to playtest some SCW rules. And they should be commercially available before the end of the year. I will not at this stage go into detail as that would be very improper. I will just say they did work, but from my point of view (not having seen the final draft) they did not seem very different to WW2 rules and the Spanish Civil war was very different. SO I will need to wait and see what the final draft is like before saying anything more.Just 4 more stands 3x Light MG's and 1 Anti tank.
Not a lot more to add. Thanks for looking today and back to 28mm for Sundays post... (assuming they get finished today.)
Great job Clint, as 10 mm scale can so easily just look like blobs of paint, but you have captured some real character
ReplyDeleteThank you Dave. I think I am alone at my club in liking 10mm, but it really does have a lot going for it. One person only has 15mm figures (he will say other wise)but week after week that is all he plays. Nothing wrong with 15mm of course but seriously 28mm is better for skirmishes and 10mm (I think) is better for big battles (or 6mm)
DeleteVery nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil. I should stick more to a set scale. As mentioned above I like 10mm but I think I am the only one at the club who does.
DeleteAlways pleased to see you painting Pendraken miniatures, Clint, my fave 10mm range. And as an aside you're far from old, simply an above-average experienced wargamer ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon. I really do like 10mm figures. BUT the rest of the club seem to prefer bigger scales.
DeleteStill never mind I don't think I will change
Cracking work Clint.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael, some 28mm figs on Sunday. I shall finish them tonight. (Only 3 though)
DeleteNice additions mate. Look great considering how small they are!
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon. I am sure they will make a difference in a few games.
DeleteNothing wrong with 10mm figures imo, especially seeing what you've done with yours.
ReplyDeleteI also think that it's a bit pointless writing a set of rules for the SCW if it doesn't reflect the period (and it is a very dfferent war to WW2.
Thank you Joe. I agree with regard to the rules. I was looking for something different from WW2 not just a re-write with some cosmetic differences.
