SCW Chain of Command

[Nosher]

I have finally got around to basing up the SCW I bought years ago for Chain of Command.

A Republican Militia Platoon with EPR Support and a Bando Nationale platoon to pit them against. Depending how I go, these may feature in the 2015 Painting competition

Just need the weather to hang out for one more day.

Ran out of undercoat spray and the good lady has buggered off to work with my card in her pocket!!! anyone would think i have money in my account and she's developed a cunning plan to stop me buying new shiny shinys!!

A lazy Sunday afternoons progress.

I hate the Macro function on the camera. I was really happy with the result of these figures until I saw them through the camera lens

would a wash improve the figures??

Nice work Nosher

Its always hard to tell with washes when looking at photos

I am sure I have commented before on this site and others that such and such figure would look better with a  brown wash only it had already been  done but the camera flash had ( pardon the pun) washed the photo out

They look good to me.

As you have left black bits as shadows, I don't think a wash will make much difference, and may blend in the highlighting you have done too much.

They look good to me. (...)

Yes !

I'd get the basing done and then see whether they need a wash or not. Sometimes a wash can dull them down a bit too much IMHO.

Look good.   

Wouldn't worry about how they photograph; naked eye is how you and everyone else will see them.  I almost think there's a "style" of painting for photography (which mine just doesn't suit).

[Nosher]

Managed to get half of the People's/Workers Militia done this afternoon.

Sticking with the 'style' I've had for years and will try to ignore MACRO!

MACRO always makes the highlighting on minis look too harsh IMHO.

Hal;f a dozen more Militia and half of the Civil guard done tonight.

Cant wait to get the Civil Guard into action - they get Tear Gas!

On the downside, I ran out of bases so tried the lollystick method of basing prior to painting. Hated it, i think because i am so used to handling individual stands. it felt very clumsy!

[Nosher]

Another 10 militia knocked out this morning.

another 10 militia to go and the remainder of the Civil guard. If her indoors doesn't find some jobs for me to do on my last day of leave i might even get the lot done today!

Finished off the Civil Guard unit today so just a handful of militia to finish before I move onto the Bando Nacional.

I've just ordered loads of vehicles, artillery and odds and ends which I hope to make a start on soon after. By then the CTV will be out and that will be my next SCW Force.

[Nosher]

Militia done and an impressive start made on the Bando Nacionale.

Finished the Nacionale HQ, Support MMG's and the first squad. only the second squad and a few points of support to complete

once the forces are done I will make a start on the basing. Sadly I ran out of bases for the Civil guard, but these are on order.
