Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!! You’re all doing great!! 👍

Fallout project: For units like the 7th Rangers, comms is an essential way of providing sitreps with command, as well as calling for support/resupply. As well as energy weapons, standard ballistic weapons are also a mainstay & vary in order to deal with any given eventuality.

Fallout project: I’m currently making a medic for my NCR Rangers and made him a stimpak to carry in his gear….. then I decided to make a second one for the sniper’s position. Now he’s really got a decent setup. Ammo ready. Stimpak for emergencies. And caps to spend later. 👍

Fallout project: The 7th Rangers take full advantage of the New California Republic’s impressive arsenal of high-end weaponry, in particular the .50 calibre rifle, which has the ability to shoot the wings off a bloatfly at 1000 yards!

Fallout project: Currently working on the NCR Ranger heavy weapon chap. In this case, it’ll be a Ranger armed with a .50 Calibre sniper rifle. The base is pretty much finished. Complete with some nuka cola bottle caps! Just need to paint the chap. Really chuffed with this!

Fallout project: Major Don Reeves is CO of the New California Republic’s 7th Ranger Battalion. They’re a specialised unit, whose primary purpose is long range reconnaissance. His unit is currently investigating an unmapped sector of the Wasteland for possible NCR expansion.

Fallout project: I’ve built a leader for my NCR Ranger faction. I gave him a magnum revolver, like the one on the “Fallout: New Vegas” box art. I followed it up with a quick black prime coat, and then a zenithal highlight, ready for painting later. More tomorrow. 👍

Fallout project: I’ve discovered, if I utilise some of my Konflikt 47 spares, I have enough parts to make a “New California Republican Rangers” faction (1 leader, 7 infantry & 1 heavy weapon), to go against my other factions. 👍

I know everything dies eventually, but I find this quite sad… 😔 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Rattenkrieg project: Managed to get the final squad to the “wash stage”. Once it’s thoroughly dry, I’ll crack on with the uniform highlighting, skin tones and finishing the bases too. More soon. 👍

Waterloo, 18th June 1815. 211 years ago today, a combined Anglo-Prussian army would end Napoleon’s campaign for European dominance once and for all. With a combined 50,000 casualties, Wellington would describe the battle as "the nearest run thing you ever saw in your life!”

Great start to the campaign. Well done England!

I don’t know what it is, but I’ve discovered that I bloody love a garden centre! 😅

Rattenkrieg project: The second veteran squad are now finished. I like the customisation options with this set. Especially the option to have wounded veterans, as it really helps sell the idea that these are battle hardened, mid-campaign units. (Miniatures from @warlordgames.com )

Finished a Sd. Kfz 222 this evening for the late war Germans, and that’s day 886 of the #HobbyStreak #Warmongers #BoltAction #SdKfz222

Rattenkrieg project: WIP on the veteran MG team, for the second squad. I really like the pose with this pair. It’s very dynamic and gives the impression that they’re having to improvise on the move. I feel sorry for the chap at the front! 😅 (Minis from @warlordgames.com )

Love the addition of a pace stick on Ed’s RSM. Fantastic! 👍

Gotta make sure the eyebrows match the hair!

Rattenkrieg project: The veteran heavy weapon platoon is now finished. I’ve got two infantry squads left to do, which I’ll finish this week. After they are done I want to crack on and get the 5 Leagues buildings finished and painted and then after that, maybe more Stargrave. 🤔

Sneak peak of the Inn’s doors. Still got loads to do, but enjoying the process. I’m out and about today, so I’ll post progress once I’ve been able to work on it a bit more. Enjoy your Sunday! 👍

Awesome!

Nothing better than a Red Leicester and apple sandwich on a hot day. 😋

Quote with your badass woman!

I can’t finish the buildings completely until I get some foam board, so in the meantime, I may as well build what I can. This’ll be another smaller house, with a ground floor and first floor. I’ve also got an idea for an Inn, but it’s a bit more complex than these houses. 👍

More building progress. Some windows for top floor and some shop signage. As well as some extra support beams and finishing off the edges too. I’m going to get some foam board and make the foundation level and stairs, stone. 👍

I’ve decided to make a start on a second building for my Five Leagues campaign. This will be a shop. Lots to do still, but I’ve decided to leave all the roofing tiles until the end. Previous experience has taught me that tiles take the longest amount of time, so worst ‘til last.

Just looking through my Fallout Wasteland kitbashed factions and scratch built scatter terrain. I really need to crack on and make some beasties too! So much to do and so little time! 😩

Progress on the fantasy house for use with 5 Leagues. I’m really happy with this one and so I’m going to make a couple more, as well as an inn and maybe a gatehouse for the entrance to the town….. ……and as usual, I’m getting carried away at the possibilities! 🙄😅👍

Rattenkrieg project: The veteran platoon commander and platoon medic are now finished, as is the last of the barricades. I gave them all a light dusting of snow effects, ready to fit right in with the winter project. (Miniatures from @warlordgames.com )

Decided to try the gallery with more than 4 pictures (didn't choose 10 but 7 for now), so I am uploading some of the pictures of my fallout rooftop diorama with some furniture. Part of these pics were uploaded here in the past, but not all. #miniatures #tabletop #nerdlings #minipainting

I’ve started making a Tudor-style fantasy house for my 5 leagues from the borderlands project. Happy so far. 👍

Rattenkrieg Project: I’ve finished the first couple of barricades. Really nice resin sculpts with plenty of little details. Also, if you’re looking for the perfect brick colour, I thoroughly recommend Army Painter’s Camo Brown. It’s just the right balance of reddish brown. 👍

Fun fact: The bearskin headdress worn by all Guards Battalions, is actually a battle honour. The 1st Foot Guards were awarded the title Grenadier Guards and the bearskin headdress after breaking Napoleon’s Imperial Guard at Waterloo.

Drop something black

Rattenkrieg project: I’ve finished painting the medium mortar team. I’ll varnish them tonight and then move into the command team or possibly the barricades. (Miniatures from @warlordgames.com )

Drop some armour.

Some of the comments I’ve seen regarding Dday and the “Allies fighting for the wrong side” during WW2, are completely sickening. I’m certain my Grandad wouldn’t have wanted anything to do with the Nazi persecution of the Jews! This trend is deeply concerning…

6th June 1944: 82 years ago today, soldiers, sailors and airmen from multiple allied nations worked together to pull off the largest and most daring amphibious assault in history. Their sacrifices provided us with the freedoms we enjoy to this day. Lest we forget.

Rattenkrieg project: The two MMG teams from the heavy weapon platoon are now finished. I’ve got the medium mortar team left and then I’ll crack on with the command unit. More soon. 👍 (Miniatures from @warlordgames.com )

I’ve been rereading The Lord of the Rings and just got to the chapter where Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin get lost on the Barrow Downs, in the mist and fog and are about to be captured. There are over 10,000 barrows in the UK. That’s a lot of barrow Wights! 😅

Fire! Finished this French cannon from Warlord Ganes. Pretty happy with it though I think my blue is a bit off. Hope you like them! I’ll do some more infantry next. #warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #miniaturepainting #blackpowder #28mm #napoleonics

Rattenkrieg project: I’ve now finished the first squad of German veteran infantry. I used The Army Painter’s Historical range, namely the WW2 German set for these minis. The paints are quite smooth and give good, full coverage. Two more squads to go and then the command unit.

Tragic news. RIP Mr Blanche.

Rattenkrieg project: I’ve now finished my Sd.Kfz. 222 armoured car. It’s a really nice vehicle to build and paint. Plenty of stowage options and various accessories that can be used, or not. Next up, the heavy weapon teams. (Minis by @warlordgames.com )

My workstation today: sat in the living room, painting minis and watching “Endeavour”. God, I love UK murder mystery programmes. 😅👍

Rattenkrieg project: I’ve now finished my Panzer IV Ausf. D. As with my Soviet army, I’ve given them a dusting of wintery snow, just to tie them in with the setting. I really enjoy this process and will be doing the same with the armoured car. (Miniatures from @warlordgames.com )

Rattenkrieg project: The last 2 squads of infantry are built. I appreciate that you can built the machine gun teams in completely different poses. I just need to build the Sd.Kfz. 222 armoured car and then I’ll start painting them all. 👍

I watched the first couple of episodes of “World War II with Tom Hanks”. I was left asking why we need this documentary series when “The World at War” was so comprehensive and thorough. It’s omits an awful lot and seems very watered down. Bit disappointing to be honest. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Rattenkrieg project: The German heavy weapon teams are built, 2 machine gun teams and a medium mortar team. I’ve also built a Panzer IV Ausf. D, which is a very easy kit to put together. I’ll build the remaining infantry and then start painting. (Minis from @warlordgames.com )

Rattenkrieg project: Almost finished this German machine gun team. I just need to tidy up a few bits and then paint the base rim. A nice mini to paint and I particularly like that the infantry sprues also contain brick walls and some loose bricks too. 👍
