Following Dougie's painting guide, here is my first platoon of Falkland's War British Marines.
Photos taken shortly before a storm hit, hadn't realised how dark it was getting!

Hi there

Thanks gents.
Dougie, the praise is yours, you were the inspiration on the paint scheme. :D
Dougie and my 'What to paint next?' vote have inspired me.
First Argentine platoon assembled, need to order some bipod LMG to supplement them.

Getting along nicely!
Are you planning on vehicles too?
Yes, many just need to sort them!
Just need to sort the bases now. Wish iPads had a bløödŷ macro lens, better pics when done. :'(

Don't know why, but that picture got a weird way of making it look like one of those black and white pictures of storming the beaches in 44...
Just call me crazy but It looks cool

What's the 'definition' on an ipad Will ?
If it's 'squillions' of megapixels....you can probably get a decent enough image from a bit further away and just crop it....
Might work ??
Cheers - Phil.
Will do proper photos when they are based up, with my camera and macro lens, this was just a quick progress snap. :P
Look forward to it Matey !
Cheers - Phil.

Ace job Lemmey!!
Very nice job, love the basing
Paul
Excellent Will ! :-bd
The bases look terrific !
Cheers - Phil.
Great job, Lemmey. What rules are you using?
very nice Will 8)
Thanks chaps.
As far as rules go, either tfl I ain't been shot mum Falklands special or I'll cobble something together loosely based on the good bits of Flames of War (very very loosely)...
Very nice indeed Sir 8). Somehow missed this post today but glad I've found it as it were :).
Love the "squad marching in moonlight". ;D
They look great well done
take care

Ace, Matey !! :-bd
Cheers - Phil.
Splendid!!
I do like these - the bases have a very wild look to them, very atmospheric.
Excellent work once again. I look forward to seeing these and the Argies in action in the New Year. Have you started on any specific scenery yet Will?
I have two sets of Timecast rocky outcrops.
Think I'm going to need more. Unfortunately whatever rules set we use it will be an infantry scrap...
:D
Yeah, Tumbledown Mountain in 10mm might set you back a bit. Nice figures, though, Lemmey. :-bd But you've come up against the wargaming paradox - the better the job you do on the camouflage the more difficult it is to pick out the figures. :(

Hold on a minute... They have AA!

Great stuff!!! Dougie

I really like these. I think the bases and the way you have done the grass is ace.
It just says cold and wet to me, just like when I see a photo of the Falklands.
Cheers, Rob :)
Terrific work, Will. :-bd 8)
Rob's absolutely right. They do give the impression of a cold and wet landscape.
Cheers - Phil
OK, Lemmey. I have to ask. What are the whip-aerials made of?
They look a bit like Jewelery head pins
Brush Bristle
ianS
I mention pins because of the whip on the mortar observer
Bracing myself for the laughter here...

Excellent work once again. These should make for a stunning looking game when you have everything finished :).

Just found this thread. Those bases are the dogs for representing the Falklands..never been but seen loads of pics and they sum it up. The iconic image of the soldier with the Union flag is well done.
Very very nice :)

Love the observer on the bonnet :D
Also like the three dots on the back of the stands to help identify the platoon, functional but doesn't interfere with the scenic look of the base :)
Dammit! Realised I've missed the clump scatter off the bases, will apply tonight.
Grrrr.... :(
Great job, the observer on the bonnet does makes the base look realistic,
kev
The 'other Falklands' vehicles look very nice, too. :-bd

Love the LVTP :-bd. Want one
It's an absolute beast of a model! Weighs a good 150g and is nearly 35mm tall!
I'm going to have to get more...
Btw chaps; anyone know the 'rough' composition of Argentine Marine/Special forces squads or platoon?

Found this for Argentine Special Forces from Sapper Joe's Orbats...
Argentine Army Commando Platoon
Platoon Headquarters
Senior ranking officer w/ SMG
2x Assault Sections
5x Officers or NCOs w/ SLRs and SMGs
1x Support Section
3x Officers or NCOs w/ SLRs and SMG
1x NCO w/ FM FAP
Notes: The Army Commandoes were made up Argentine officers and NCOs only. They should be treated as Regulars and some units being considered Aggressive. Up to one section can be treated as Diehards.
Sounds like a great way of offloading your naff officers and NCOs. A sort of modern-day Gendarmerie. ;)
There were Gendarmes as well.
They had a nasty reputation for throwing nuns out of planes without parachutes... :o
Nicely done, Will 8)

Those work extremely well, Will !

Those have come out very nicely, and a really useful bit of terrain to have, not just for the Falklands.
HaHa, the jeep base is great!
the jeep base is a lot of fun. thanks for bringing these timecast pieces to our attention - they look like a necessary buy.
3 Milan posts and command, 4 snipers, 3 British blowpipe teams assembled today, and a Barrie! ;)
Two weeks to their first game. :D
Lemmey,
I can't believe you've been working this long to get to your first game!!! :P
But I can't wait to see when you do. What rules are you going to use?
V/R,
Jack
Excellent bet you can't wait to get them on the table
Take care
Andy
Playing Genorm, no idea as to the rules, but it will be a lot of fun!
Yes Jack, over two years in the pipeline, I hope they are worth it!
I heard real war gamers play 5Core Company Command. I even heard there's a guy on this very forum that has posted around 60 batreps with it ;)
V/R,
Jack
Don't think I've ever noticed those. :P :D
Cheers - Phil
"Don't think I've ever noticed those."
Not surprised ;)
They're quick and easy to play, with the ability to add as much 'chrome' as you like (I added with Team Whiskey, subtracted with Cuba Libre), and they're quick, easy, and cheap to pick up (via PDF at WargameVault).
V/R,
Jack
A few additions before this week's game!
Yes, that's right, finally, a game!
