Nearly there with the first Brigade of British Infantry. These are all from BP2 and BP37. I will get them varnished and flocked this afternoon while watching the Rugby

Looking good Si 8)
Love the figures, but the bases need some wire or roughing up I think, most shots of WWI battlefields are churned up, especially 1916 - late 1918, otherwise it's all a bit:
General Melchett: Where's my map. Ah.... God, it's a barren, featureless desert out there, isn't it.
Captain Darling (whispering): Other side sir.
Yep,
that's the next stage. I paint the figs first then the bases Not completely sure how these are going to end up. I had seen some flowers that looked liked poppies but I have some reluctance.....
I have the Wales Ireland match to formulate a plan (and paint 15 bases of infantry)
Wales, Ireland ? ;)
S'funny...That's not I've been watching....FOR THE GRAND SLAM !!!
Cheers - Phil.
I had meant two matches.......But I will leave the interpretation to you.
Congrats to Wales thorougly enjoyed the first match :D my Half Welsh sons were winners which ever way today went 8)
Second match on with first 6 battalions done and trying to get the last 3 battalions and support weapons based.
These look great, nice mix of poses. Looking forward to seeing which way you go with the bases.

These have the "simple" bases which is straight flock. I have undercoated the "interesting" ones but am waiting for the postman with some nice bits from Antenocis' Workshop

Really look the part, I for one like relatively uncluttered bases.
These are the intermediate bases which I did this afternoon (five variants)

I am only doing one base per Battalion and using that one base to try out different ideas.
I do like those bases with the bits of wire. Are you going to try some with some craters?
These figures are looking really good. Its also interesting to see the much lower figure density for these figures, compared to the 20 or so I'd be putting on a similar base for Fantasty / medieval.
They look really good....
What paint colour are you using for the uniform?
Cheers
These look great, the little snips of wire for shells is a nice touch as well.

QuoteWhat paint colour are you using for the uniform?
I use thinned Vallejo English Uniform over a white undercoat and then GW Devlan Mud over the whole figure once I have done the weapons, webbing and faces.

The shell cases are the first attempt. The problem with snips is that you get the "cut" end. As these are the first of three Field Regiments worth, I am going to saw the next ones.

Not too sure on the craters thing just yet. These will need to fulfil 1916+ Offensive as well as 1918 Defenders and 1917 in between so I want to keep the bases generic as possible. I might do the odd one or two as a special to see how they look
I have now finished (90% level of detail) the 1916+ British in this phase of my project

I will add some more detail to these IF: Time is available and my next project lets me. If not good enough to game with
great stuff!
Necromancy of sorts....Unloved Artillery and odds completed prompting a new order into Pendraken hopefully all over by Christmas

Good to see an update on your force Si :).
Beautiful work
What did you wash them with?
In the old days Devlan Mud...Now it is the Agrax Earthshade thingy from GW
Looking good!

Really Nice
Love em, excellent work! Think this might be my next project being a fan of Charlys War from the Battle comics in the 80s. Would casualty figures be a bit too close to the bone as my vision of WW1 was men falling all around and a sense of urgency to get to the enemy trench as quickly as possible. Is there any casualty figures?
I love the motorcyclist
What rules have you based them for?
QuoteCharlys War from the Battle comics in the 80s
How strange I was only talking this morning about that very strip
QuoteIs there any casualty figures?
Not found any yet and I am using single normal figures to represent that element for SB. I could do with some though
QuoteWhat rules have you based them for?
They are based for Great War Spearhead and Square Bashing
I am going to but SB in the new year as I am getting a little bored waiting for GWSH2
Very nice indeed Si 8)
Excellent stuff - let me know when you fancy a game
Very good indeed. The despatch rider is particularly attactive. 8)
Great stuff !!
Cheers - Phil.
I really like these, well done indeed! :)
Very very nice. Particularly like the wire on some of the bases. Keep thinking about "Square Bashing" as a ruleset... you've added to that temptation :'(
Hi
Great stuff, I especially like the post with a barbed wire attached.
Take care
Andy
I have added some shell holes to a couple as an Idea for updating the project

Great troops! Craters have come out well!
Ohh, missed these the first time around - splendid work. :)
These are looking very good, nicely done. 8)
Your miniatures are great.
A thing I've noted is that the grass is glued on a very regular pattern. I don't know if you know what I mean, but it looks unnatural.
Maybe more noticeable on the previous batch.
