Pooch's March update

On to March, and this year is now a third gone. This is getting ridiculous. But luckily, I have painting to keep me sane, right?

1. Paint a platoon for Flames of War

First up this month is more for my Late War US army. 

Finished up this month, we have..... 4 Tank Destroyers, with turrets for both the M36 Jackson, and the M10 Wolverine.

The platoon, equipped as M36 Jacksons

Comparison between M10 and M36 Turret

But not only those, I also finished up two M8 Greyhounds!

Meep meep!

In both cases these platoons were updates to platoons I had already finished- I'm very glad to have them all done now however!

Next month? Shermania!

2. Add something to armies I have already painted

First up this month was to finish up the last figures for my ADLG-R Imperial German Army, including:

3 Generals

Four Reiters

And one more cannon, seen here with my already painted one!

Which means that now the entire force is ready, aiming for a game in the coming months!

The whole army is now done!
Continuing on from my vauge plan of finishing up one Marvel Crisis Protocol miniature each month, trying to work through the back log of miniatures I have sitting there, I've finished another one!

This time it is the trickster god himself, Loki!


Such a great colour scheme, and such a cool character in the MCU


3. Finish up a piece of terrain

This month's terrain is actually a commission piece, a 3d printed 15mm Tractor Factory from Stalingrad.

The building is huge, and I am super happy with how cool it looks!

The interior detailing

Next up? I have more of these commission buildings, but probably should also paint some more of my own too!

4. Play a game a month, that was different to the last month

This month's game was Kings of War! 

The mighty Goblins took to the field fighting McB's newly acquired Kingdom of Men army.


Gobbos, gobbos everywhere!

The goblins claimed victory, but more suprisingly when the incredibly cool Giant charged a legion of sharpsticks....

So. So. Cool.

It ended up defeated by them!

Victory!

All in all, I really do love that Goblin army, and would dearly love to play more games with it. I forget how much I enjoy Kings of War, and it was a crime that I didn't play it at all last year!

5. Paint a Hundred Years War French Army for ADLG

The slow progress on this army continues....

Paint one Knight for ADLG

Another knight done, this time with a sandy yellow and red colour scheme!

Chaaaaaaaaaaaaarge

Paint one base for ADLG

And a distinctly less noble unit for my one base this month, Peasants!



I painted up the peasants in a set of muted browns and greens, which really reinforces the contrast to the bright vibrant colours of the knights.

Next up, more of the same I think!
