Hi Steve,
Great work, these will look fantastic on the table in September. Like the wall and tree on the HQ base.

Hi Steve,
They look great! I especially like the way they have all those nice bright red aiming points for my Schutzen. GrinGrin

Very nice Steve - I do like the on-base scenics as well Grin

Just a quick question - what base sizes are you using for your Infantry Support Weapons - also your Infantry Upgrades?

Cheers

Hi Mark,
I use 20mmx20mm bases for my supports. As for upgrades I don't base them separately as I tend to give each stand/platoon an upgrade and pay the points accordingly. If points are tight 1 in 3 of the bases are marked red to indicate which stands have the upgrade.

Thanks Steve - I might do a bit of re-basing as mine are/were on 40mm x 20mm (same as my Regular infantry) so take up a lot of space in the box & on-table.

Cheers

And of course as we all know ... "what do points make boys & girls? Points make .... for mamy hours of frustration & general annoyance + a host of expensive army-list booklets cluttering up the book shelves!"

I see your Parachute Bn and raise a Parachute Regiment.
The 357th guards order of Suvarov VDV Regiment to be precise.

Hopefully that works lol

Hi Hman00,
I try to. Rather than using a single colour I add random flecks and splodges with an old brush which seem to work.
Cheers
Steve
