Pooch's June Update

And we are back, with another scheduled update that is actually pretty close to on time.

What is this madness!

1. Paint a platoon for Flames of War

I said last month that I was keen on getting some infantry to add to my Late War US army. The slight problem is that the US infantry platoons are huge!

So to make a start, I have finished up the Company HQ, and a few small base teams. I used the very cool plastic rubble bases to really tie my infantry together with my very wintery tanks.

5 small bases, still counts as a platoon!

The bazooka over the wall is one of my favourites

2. Add something to armies I have already painted

I wasn't sure where to put these models, so I'll put them here!

These US Cavalry come from 3d Breed, and were beautifully printed by Potbelly Miniatures. I've always had a soft spot for Cavalry, and these miniatrues were brilliant to paint.

The Officer, Sgt and Bugler

Pistol, Winchesters and a shotgun. All of the things a cavalry unit needs!

And the sub-goal continues, this time with Daredevil, painted in his distinctive 'mustard' suit, last seen on the She Hulk series!

I put the photobooth away before taking this photo, oops!

3. Finish up a piece of terrain

Painting up some Wild West Cavalry was enough to inspire me to get out some of my "to assemble" 4ground kits to go along with them!

A caboose!

It has a ridiculously detailed interior. Words were spoken about it......

And a whole lot of railway track for it to run on!

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

I finally managed to get my Imperial Germans out for a game of ADLG-R against their mortal enemies, the Swedes!

The game was super fun, I am going to have to play more!!

My cavalry wing!

An aerial view of the battle

A highly successful unit of Dragoons, with the two units it held up for the entire game!

Next up? Flames of War!

5. Paint a Hundred Years War French Army for ADLG

More ADLG painted!

Paint one Knight for ADLG

Yellow and black makes for quite the striking combination!

Paint one base for ADLG

Ok, not more peasants.... this time it's Crossbowmen!

Paint up an army of 15mm Celts

This is a new section for this month, mainly because I am mad, and have decided that I want a 15mm ADLG army. Knowing that I am playing a bunch of games, I decided to make my life easier and instead of learning to play another different army, I instead opted to talk to Potbelly Miniatures about getting some 15mm Celts printed, with the added bonus of because it's 15mm, I can have a LOT of chariots!
