Firstly, I finished
up my Bolt Action German Hetzer tank hunter. Probably could have done more, but
just wanted it off my paint queue and it at least doesn’t look rubbish. Bit of
weathering, bit of mud and snow and it’ll do schwein, it’ll do. (Thus my WW2
German project is officially kicked-off.)
Next up are some of
the farm animals I recently picked up from Warbases in the UK. Very affordable
and some nice characterful sculpts to add some flavour to my tabletops. I’ll
mainly be using these in my Dark Ages and fantasy games. Simple paint jobs and
also got a gloss varnishing as well as a flat coat for durability.

Moo. |

Moo too. |

These geese are having a barney. Clever chap on the right is getting the heck out of the way as he's more about love than hate. |
|
Chap at the back right is officiating this fight - seconds out, round one! |
Also got a pair of
zombies I call the “Tuppences”. Whilst Mr Tuppence was off out jogging in the
neighbourhood, Mrs Tuppence was dutifully playing house and baking cookies.
Unfortunately for Mr Tuppence, he was set upon by zombies as he rounded the
corner to Foxtrot Avenue, then proceeded to stumble home, turn and bite his wife, causing her to join him in Unlife as well.
A love story for sure.
|
Mr Tuppence has a bit of a derp affliction whilst the good missus seems to be remembering she had baked cookies and yet somehow forgot to place the cookie tray in her outstretched hand prior to "outing and stretching". |
Lastly, some crates
scatter terrain pieces. Nothing special about these, but they’ll add some
interest on the table during games. I also got a sand-bag emplacement finished
up, but ran out of Dullcote so will have to wait until next post to show that.

Yeah, these are boring, not even know why I included them here to be honest... |
Hetzer looking awesome!!! beauty work. I love animals too.
ReplyDeleteGreat great sir!
Thanks Michal, pleases me to see you like them so. :)
DeleteHetzer looks great Dai, and clearly the start to a great-looking WW2 German Army. Nice to see the animals being painted too. Lovely posting imho.
ReplyDeleteCheers Simon. Will try to stick with the German project in a more disciplined fashion. It's the camo uniforms though.... they intimidate me rather a lot.
DeleteI agree with Simon, great post with loads of character
ReplyDeleteMany thanks good sir.
DeleteGreat looking Frau Hetty, more Germans please.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chico - I'll get right on 'em.
DeleteWhat a fabulous post, I just love the weathering on the Hetzer and I must get some of those geese.
ReplyDeleteKind of you say so Michael.
DeleteI think youd do a great job on a gaggle of your own.
Quite a variety! Lovely weathering on the Hetzer (as with all your tanks), and I loved the various animals as well. Great!
ReplyDeleteHeh, thanks loads Ed.
DeleteGreat looking hetzer, I like the livestock too and not forgetting the very useful crates! Where are they from btw?
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers Iain. Those crates came in my pre-ordered Project-Z set by Warlord Games called "Lock and Load". Nice crisp resin pieces.
DeleteLooking good, man! I'm imagining a scenario which includes all of those models... :D
ReplyDeleteThe geese attack the tank, disabling it's treads, meanwhile the cows stampede over the zombies faces? :)
DeleteThat Hetzer looks incredible. I just love the way you do weathering, Dai.
ReplyDeleteThanks Matthew! It's all very simple techniques that I found on the interwebs, everyone can do it.
DeleteMoo.
ReplyDeleteExactly.
DeleteGood to have stuff coming off the table. I like the crates.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is mate. Though the mojo is sputtering since, so we'll see what if any work gets done in the near future...
DeleteHEY! Amazing work dear friend! Awesome weathering on Hetzer! Keep Painting! ;)
ReplyDeleteGood of you to stop by mate. Cheers!
DeleteLove those highland coos, mate, and Hetzer's gonna Hetz!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris. Hopefully I can get those Bovines out on the table soon!
DeleteGreat looking hetzer, I like the livestock too !

Glad you like. I really need to get back to those Germans. One soldier painted out of an army is not good enough!
