More British....but German?

 Another two units march off the painting desk as my painting momentum continues.

First up: 5th Battalion of the King's German Legion

5th KGL marching out of the valley.

And marching back again.

Then the 8th Battalion of the King's German Legion.

8th KGL front view

and rear view.  I need to tidy up the flag.

A mixture of contrast and normal acrylic paints.

The last of the Line units completed.

3 units to go in 8 weeks! Actually about 70 figures to paint so it looks like I will be done well before Christmas....famous last words

Second Surprise

I went to the local wargaming convention and came away with some unexpected purchases.

First up     Vikings:   Fjord Serpents

I had seen this last year and was tempted as it is an Australian company and is 10mm and I had been to Sweden and Denmark that year, both hotbeds of Viking activity and history 😁But my sensibility intervened and I decided not to get it. This year my resolve crumbled after seeing a game played on Sparkers Wargaming so I indulged myself in a new project.

Lots of toys, 4 ships, 322 crew, rule book, etc. A good increase in the lead mountain after finishing off the Napoleonic's.

Extra Kings and Heroes plus a building.....bugger I am going to need more than one building 😂

I did start thinking about how I could expand the project with some peasants to raid, but I am trying to resist until at least I paint the starter box and play a few games

Also got a blue paint pen to test out..... so at least mildly sensible

Finally there was a bargain that could not be resisted. Half price cold war American army figures to extend my existing 1950 American army into the 1970s

10 M60 tanks and 8 M113's.   So a simple addition, bit of glue, spray olive green, black tracks, add decals and job done.  Although I might need to get some extra ATGM for the infantry as I think I only have bazookas 😂

British 1st Battalion 28th Infantry Regiment

 Another British line regiment marches off the painting desk.

Here they are:

Readying to repel a French charge

Another view

Deciding they will repel the charge from over there on the hill.

Up to my usual wargaming standard, using the three foot rule. Maybe a bit too much flock. 😒

A mixture of contrast and normal acrylic paints.

So two weeks and two units done, still on track for Christmas 😂

7 units to go in 10 weeks!
