Tank Park - WIP

Camo on the Panzers...

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.

Present work in progress - Tank park, British engineers and Army of the Dead!  Hopefully clear this lot in the next month and then on to finishing the Normandy village!

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.

The Games Bunker is too cold!

The Games Bunker (aka the garage) is too cold for gaming so have had to use the kitchen table for some 'block action'!  Command and Colours Ancients - The Battle of Zama set up for a game against gaming buddy Pete.  After initial success with the elephants, my gallant Carthaginians were defeated 8:7.

Have braved the Bunker for some shorter sessions working on the Sarissa Church and some of their houses - photos of WIP to follow.

Blog Resurrection

I have not abandoned Block Games - just never got posting.   I am planning to resurrect this blog and record my wargames activity in the New Year.   Over  the last 12 months or so I have been mostly playing 28mm WW2 using Chain of Command - hence today's activity detailed below!


Christmas Eve Church Building

My daughter was not feeling too well today so we spent the day at home, this gave me chance to sneak out and work on the Sarissa Church that I treated myself  to - bought with some Christmas gift money from my parents.

Flat Pack Church

The kit went together very easy - if only real flat-pack was as easy!

Now comes the trickier part of adding details/ rubble and then painting.  A job for the New Year.
