Confrontation Miniatures: Arkeon Sanath.

Thanks for looking.

What have I been up to so far.

Hello blog-followers.
First I like to thank all people that kept following my blog in my absence.
With the return to my blog the first thing I did was going through my list of blogs that I am following and remove all blogs that no longer exist and those which the last post was more then 2 years ago. I also removed some blogs with subjects I don't have any interest in. Later this month I hope to change more things about the look of my blog.
I played a few games of Battlegroup Fall of the Reich. I like the Battlegroup rule-set more and more while I start to loose interest in Flames of War. Gladly I can use most of the Battlefront miniatures I have with the Battlegroup rules.
Recently my eyes also fell on SAGA. Not that I have a warband or have the rulebook yet. I borrowed the rulebook from a friend to read what kind a game it is. And I first want to see if their are enough players. Don't want to start an other game which will end up in a box collecting dust.

Painting.
I didn't do any real painting, what I did so far is:
-Repainted all base-edges of the painted Confrontation miniatures.

Later on I will replace the old pictures with new ones in the different post on this blog. Also I will place new posts with pictures of painted Confrontation miniatures witch I never posted on this blog.

-Undercoated all Confrotation miniatures which never have seen any paint and which were stored in boxes for 7 or 8 years.

But now I want to start paint them. Not for gaming, the game is already long dead, but just because these are great looking miniatures and I am getting a little bored painting army green for more then 7 years.

-Undercoated a platoon of EW Canadian infantry for my ongoing Infantry Tank Company from the MW Dieppe PDF project. Plus stretcher bearers and medic that can be used with Battlegroup.

Thanks for reading.

A post explaining (a little).

Well finally new post. But not a post about new painted miniatures or about games played. This post is more about a little explaining why I don't post that much anymore. I am not going into details too much. Enough is to say that I have a lot of problems in my life that need to be solved first. Something that is way more important then this blog at the moment. How long it will take I can't tell. Also I don't have any idea when I will place a new blog-post. One thing is certain there probably won't be many blog-posts this year.

Until later.

Easy Company.

Painted just before 2013 comes to it's end. Easy Company.
It took me ages to paint these miniatures but they are finally done.
Not my best painted miniatures by far but it has to do. I didn't paint the tags on the helmets for now because every-time I tried to paint them it became a blurry mess. Maybe I will try it again in the future.
They are pained so they fit in with the rest of my 101st Airborne Division and not in winter theme.
Painting these miniatures made me realise that I no longer can paint without glasses.
The pictures aren’t very well. Somehow I can't take pictures at the same standard as in the past.

Thanks for looking.

Churchill I OKE platoon painted.

After the tanks were primed black it was time to paint them. The only things missing are the decals and the names on the tanks. To write the names on the tanks I am going to use a white fineliner pen (if these exist). The decals is another problem because there are no decals for this company so I have to paint these on the tanks or print the decals myself. Already found a site with a few examples of the markings that I need: 14th Armoured Regiment (Calgary Regiment)
To paint the tanks I used Russian Uniform as basecoat. Then I highlighted them using Russian Uniform mixed with a tiny bit of Iraquian Sand.
The tracks, cables and shovels are painted with German Grey and I used a 2B pencil to highlight them.
Note: the tanks may look little shiny on the pictures but that is because they don't have a layer of matt varnish yet.

Also painted are the Churchill I (CiC) and Churchill II (2iC) needed for the Company Headquarter.

Thanks for looking.
