And there we go. All finished. I'm a big fan of alternate history projects and game systems, so I've really enjoyed painting these @WarlordGames Konflikt '47 Miniatures. And with the recently published army lists, I'm looking forward to putting together a couple of armies! 👍

Two more @WarlordGames K47 US Fireflies finished. Two more to go. I'll post a group shot with the Linebacker, once they're all done. More tomorrow. 👍

Another Firefly finished. I'm flying through these guys at the moment. I've got 4 left to go, but two are in the latter stages of painting. They just need their bases finishing and some highlights. More later. 👍

Another Firefly finished. This guy is a slight conversion. The legs are supposed to be for a chap, running on the ground, however I positioned him to be landing on top of a piece of debris and in the midst of throwing a grenade. I'm really enjoying this process. More soon.

I finished another two US Fireflies. I'm particularly chuffed with how the chap with the flamethrower turned out. 6 more to go. 👍

Another 2 @warlordgames.com Konflikt '47 Fireflies finished. The Lieutenant with his trusty map & the guy reloading his BAR. I'm really enjoying painting these guys. 8 more to go. As usual, I may post over the weekend, but if not, I'll be back on Monday. Have a lovely weekend. 👍

Last month @warlordgames.com asked me if I'd be interested in writing an article for their website regarding how I go about painting the Epic scale Revolution range. I can proudly say the article is now live! Big thanks to Warlord Games and Jim. warlord-community.warlordgames.com/iain-madelos...

I've finished building all the US Fireflies. I like the various poses and combination of loadouts. The last photo is a slight conversion; I cut the magazine away from the BAR and added it to the guys hand to give the appearance of reloading. Good fun. Now to paint them. 👍

Rewatched The Office recently. It's reaffirmed my belief that it's the greatest comedies ever. Everyone plays their part perfectly and Ricky Gervais cracks me up with the looks to camera. 😂 Also the fact that it's 14 episodes proves the quality over quantity theory.

I added a little Captain insignia to the platoon commander's helmet and another on the reverse so he's easier to recognise from behind. It doesn't mean anything in terms of the game, but I'll know it's there, and I think it makes a nice bit of extra detail. 👍

The Konflikt '47 Linebacker is finished. A very nice kit, easy to assemble and not too much clean-up required either. I'm not sure if the actual kit comes with a base or not, as @WarlordGames sent me this one. But the small base was good enough for my needs. 👍

Poor fella. There's not much wiggle room! 😅

Great Coxwell Barn, Oxfordshire. The barn was built in 1292 for the Cistercian Beaulieu Abbey. In 1538 Beaulieu Abbey was dissolved & its estates were seized by the Crown. In 1540 the Crown sold the Barn to William Morys. Since 1956 it has been in the care of the National Trust.

WIP: I'm having a blast painting the @WarlordGames Konflikt '47 Linebacker. Still lots to do, but I'm in no rush. I'm giving it a heavy weathering and mid-campaign look, which I personally enjoy doing. I also added some old transfers from a 40k kit. More soon. 👍

It's that time of the month where I sit down with this month's issue of Wargames Illustrated. Great articles, including one on the Battle of Verdun. For those undecided on Konflikt '47, check out @warlordgames.com freebies for next month's issue! 😲👍

I've always been fascinated by tanks and their involvement in WW1. Imagine being an infanteer and seeing them for the first time. These slow lumbering metal boxes, moving toward your line. It must have been unnerving for the those on the receiving end.

The second @SarissaPrec North American cabin is built. Again, easy to follow instructions and quick to build. Although I've seen hobbyists talk about their kits before, and I'm late to the party, I'd definitely recommend them if you're thinking about It. Painting next. 👍

Post a mage.

WIP: I added flesh tones to the recessed armour. I was going to add either gold/gun metal to the black, but I think I like it how it is. Just need to highlight the claw, teeth & spikes & do the base. My partner has said she wants to try painting the second Greater Possessed!

WIP: Spikes, teeth and eyes everywhere. That's a dead giveaway for a baddie! 👍 I've decided I'm going to add a load more flesh tones on the armour and then brighten it up with some pinky/red washes. It looks great in my head! 😅 More tomorrow. 👍

I've been painting one of my son's baddie warhammer men. You can tell he's a baddie warhammer man because he has spikes. Goodie warhammer men are blue. Some warhammer men aren't men, but women! As you can tell, I'm an expert in warhammer & all the men and women. #warhammermen

Just built this 15mm Sarissa North American cabin, for use with my @warlordgames.com AWI miniatures. This is my first Sarissa kit, and I have to say, first impressions, I'm very happy with it. Easy to build with simple instructions. I've got another with a porch to build next.

WIP: The Konflikt '47 US Linebacker is built, primed & ready for painting. I've also made an urban base too. However, I've not picked up the paints I need. So it'll have to wait until I can get some supplies. In the meantime, I'll crack on and build the rest of the Fireflies.

WIP: Konflikt '47 US Firefly armed with a BAR. Need to do the highlights and finish the base. More soon. 👍

Men of the 137th (Staffordshire) infantry brigade resting after the Battle of St Quentin Canal. It consisted of 32 British Empire Divisions and 2 US Divisions facing off against 39 German Divisions, and resulted in the allies punching a 17km hole in the German Hindenburg Line.

My Mum found this odd stone whilst doing some gardening. It looks like it has a cat or other such animal carved into it and the edges appear to have been shaped. Ok boffins, Any ideas?

And the first @warlordgames.com Konflikt '47 US Firefly is finished. I'm going to give them all urban ruin bases. It's a bit more interesting to look at than grass. I'll start building the rest, once I've finished the Linebacker walker. More soon. 👍

My partner, Louise, wanted to have a go at painting something. I was on hand to offer advice, but she was adamant she wanted to do all the physical painting herself. So here is her first ever miniature!! And I think she's done a fantastic job! One of us! One of us!

The Konflikt '47 US Linebacker Walker is now under construction. All the poses I've seen so far are quite rigid looking, so I'm going to attempt to give it a more dynamic looking pose, if possible, even if it means giving it a base. More soon. 👍

WIP: Painted the first test miniature of @WarlordGames Konflikt '47 US Firefly Airborne Infantry. I absolutely love these miniatures. The variety of dynamic poses & possibilities for builds, not to mention conversions, is excellent. This cigar smoking chap will be the Officer.

Warlord Games sent me out some Konflikt '47 Firefly Airborne Infantry and an M2A5 Linebacker walker. I'll start building them this weekend and begin the painting process next week. Exciting stuff! 👍

The 23rd (Royal Welch Fusiliers) Regiment of Foot are finished. This one took a little longer than the Grenadiers, but was just as fun. I'm finding painting Warlord's epic scale quite addictive at the moment. More next week. Have a good weekend. 👍

While the British bases are drying, I decided to paint a Colonel for the Continental army. I still need to highlight the horses mane and tail and then finish the base. It was a fun little detour. 👍 (Mini from @WarlordGames)

WIP: The command base for the 23rd (Royal Welch Fusiliers) Regiment of Foot. I just need to get the base edge painted. This is a small unit, so will only have 3 bases worth of troops. More soon. 👍

The Hessian Grenadiers Regiment is finished and ready to join the British on the field of battle. The command base didn't take that long as there are no flags or fiddly angles to get to. In total, this small regiment took about 3 hours. I'm happy with that. More soon. 👍

Two bases of Hessian Grenadiers are finished & now ready to reinforce the British. These were a lot of fun to paint and actually very quick too. These guys took about an hour and a half, not including drying times of the washes etc. Command base next. More later. 👍

I'm making some good headway with these Warlord Games Hessians. The first 2 bases should be finished by tomorrow, with the command not far behind. More in the morning. 👍

I've had the British flag in my bio for years now as I'm a proud veteran of the British Army. Recently however, I've had a few follows on the other platform, from accounts I certainly do not support, who have taken the flag to mean "he must hate foreigners too". I do not. So the Flag is gone. 👍

I love the way Tom has based these Warlord Epics. Excellent work. 👍

The command base are done, and with that the New England Militia are finished and ready to take to the battlefield. These guys were lots of fun to paint. I'll certainly do some more militia in the future. Next up, a Regiment of Hessian Grenadiers. More soon. 👍

Two @warlordgames.com rebel Militia bases done today. I enjoy painting militia units, as I'm not restricted to a particular colour palette. Which is great when your painting base after base of red uniforms! On to the command base next. More soon. 👍

Just back from our 1st visit Portsmouth Naval Memorial. We were looking for my great uncle's name, Alexander Mackay, who served aboard HMS Ascot during WWI. Unfortunately Ascot was sunk by a Uboat (UB67) on 10th November 1918, the day before the war ended. All hands were lost.

More lovely looking Warlord Epics! Great work here. 👍

It's a must if you're having a Tunnocks Tea Cake. I don't make the rules!

I remember opening White Dwarf as a kid and seeing all these fantastic photographs, with all the bright colours, hoping one day to own terrain like this. I like the grimdark approach to painting these days, but man, nostalgia is such a powerful emotion!

If you see this, quote with a (tiny) tank.

Barely any progress today. Just starting to block in some colour on a second militia unit. I'll see if I can get more done over the weekend. Have a good one everyone. 👍

Question for hobbyists: What's a project you'd love to start, when you have the time? For me, I've been looking to start a Wars of the Roses project in either 6 or 10mm. It's the period that fascinates me, hence me posting about various battles from time to time! Maybe next year 🤔

@WarlordGames Major General Charles Cornwallis. I've really enjoyed painting the British Commanders. The poses are great and the faces have their own individual character. Lots of fun. I think I'll move on to another Militia unit next. More soon. 👍

@warlordgames.com General William Howe, Commander-in-Chief of the British forces in North America. I love the poses on these characters. I think it's probably the Warlord Resin, such great details and the paint goes on very nicely. More soon. 👍
