After walking round Norman villages last year realised I needed lots of high walls!

Finally finished off all the vehicles in the Tank Park!
Allied armour - Corgi Shermans, Blitzkrieg Miniatures Firefly, Warlord Cromwell and Carrier.
Corgi Panthers, Blitzkrieg Miniatures' Stugs and 250, Tamiya Citroen Staff Car

May add some foliage to the Stugs.

Then can't put off finishing the houses and church any longer!

LotR Army of the Dead

Finally got round to finishing these, after them sitting on the side for ages.
Easy to paint - just wash and drybrush!

The way is now clear to finish off my Chain of Command armour.

Germans in greatcoats and WIP

Finished off the German infantry bought at Hammerhead - including MG42 gunner for SdKfz250.

Loot from Hammerhead and ongoing WIP

Went to Hammerhead in Newark - loot mostly stuff for Chain of Command, but did get some Perry Napoleonic Landing Party.  These are being put aside for summer painting!
Warbases - chicken coop, cold frame, compost bin, church pews and some wall columns.
Ainsty - gravestones and slabs and a couple of water troughs.
Blitzkrieg Miniatures - SdKfz 250
Artizan  - some german infantry in greatcoats (easy to paint!)
The book was my only purchase from the Tabletop Sale.

WIP Pictures
Some barbed wire/minefield markers and a birthday pressie Sarissa farmhouse.

 A few more germans - a sniper, LMG team and some 'crew' figures - mix of Artizan and Warlord.
Tank Park in the background - Shermans are next on the painting list.

Work in progress - St. Germain-du-Pert

Church and village buildings all tiled and some high walls made.

All set up for scenario three in the TFL pint-sized campaign '29 Let's Go!'
Unfortunately my German defenders suffered a crushing defeat - two sections caught under a mortar barrage did for my Force Morale!  Have rethought my defensive tactics for the next game in the mini-campaign.

The buildings are all Sarissa and the walls homemade with Warbases' pillars and gates.  Next job is adding some texture to the walls and houses.
