Basing, lying down on the job.

I have been basing all my WW2 figures on washers, well the standing ones anyway. I do like the low profiles of the washers. The dilema is that the bases/washers are not big enough for prone figures or support weapons. At the moment the other options I have end up being as thick as the Warhammer stands. I did buy some Russians on ebay who were based on Warhammer bases (squares for standing and horse bases for prone.) and they do seem to bulky beside the washers.

I liked an idea the another site uses for his scenery. "Black Primer" uses old cd/dvd discs to base his terrain. I did think possibly using those mini cd (if I could get my hands on some) for at least the support teams if not the prone figures.

Apart from that I have limited options at this stage.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

d8!!!

logo's for the local leagues

For the past few years I have had a couple of project that I have not followed up due to timing and family issues and of coarse being lazy. One was customising fields for local BB leagues. I have also done some logos for these teams as well. I have lost some of the art between computers but here are a couple. I have some more as well that need to be finished.

Pinky swear!!!

Well I made a promise to myself not to spend any money on anymore miniatures. Mainly due to the fact that I have hundred of miniature that are unpainted.

That lasted about a week...

I have found that I seem to collect more than anything else now. I have tried to traded off or sell some over the past few months. But yesterday I bought a Warhammer 40k Imperial Sentinel. Not because I have a 40K imperial army. Well I don't! I bought it for a Weird WW2 project, in the vain hope that I might play it at some stage. Due to a large amount of 28mm WW2 figures I have got.

The Sentinel will be an American War walker of some type yet undisclosed. I have also been trying to get some AT-43 Mechanoids for German and Russian Walkers. I have seen a lot or Weird WW2 stuff out there but Dream Pod 9 with their Blitz Krieg game was the influence for me.

Movies that have influenced my gaming....

I have always been a sucker for a good war movie. Some of the older classics are still my favourites.

There is no particular order and the what I can remember:

Kelly's Hero's.
Where the Eagles Dare.
The Eagle has landed.
The Bridge to far.
The Battle of Britain.
Battle of the Bulge.
The Dirty Dozen 1 & 2.
The Great Escape.
The Guns of Navarone

I'm sure there are many more and happy to have some to be added.

A touch of WW1

A couple of more pic's from the phone.

These guys are hopefully for a range of games. A friends has talked about some zombie related skirmishs. So the top picture are SWAT, the next are miniatures from Eureka, Some Russians in Chemical suits and some German Bundeswehr. So hopefully they will get a bit of use one day.
