20mm Modern Australian Platoon

So over the past couple of months I have been painting some 20mm Moderns.  I have decided to go with Elhiem Figures and their terrific modern range.  The range is excellent and there is loads available.

I really like their Australians.  I did a very quick photo shoot as its been ages since I show cased anything!  I really love 20mm.  Such a sweet spot between size and detail!  I can get far more figures for cheap and I dont have to worry about the storage woes of 28mm.

Up next some Taliban... Stay tuned.

I'm back... Preparing for the AHPC IX

What is the AHPC IX? Well its the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge 9!

After a much needed break the timing of AHPC IX couldn't be better.  I am in team Monday so what I manage to paint during the challenge will be posted on a Monday on the challenge website and then 24 hours later here.

This year I am going for 1000 points!  Follow the link above for a breakdown on Points.  Last year I managed to paint just over 800 Points exceeding my 750 point target! Challenge accepted.

I am hoping to focus on the following:

  • 20mm Moderns (a big focus) - and anything else 20mm
  • Frostgrave/Rangers of Shadow Deep
  • Project Waterloo (another big focus)
  • Warhammer Quest
  • Middlehammer/Oldhammer
  • Lots of terrain and anything else random that tickles my fancy!







Looking forward to much more updates! Also I have a brief backlog of stuff I have painted but have yet to put on the blog.  I best get assembling some stuff to paint for the challenge.
