Building hills - 1

After the completion of the gaming table (part 1, part 2, part 3) it is time to get going with some terrain. I felt some smaller hills would be nice to have.
For the build I am using:

• Left over styrofoam
• Hard board (I think that is the name for it, used in drawers and as back plates in bureaus )
• PVA glue
• Filler
• Acrylic paint
• Woodland Scenic's flock and grass

First, I started off by cutting out the shapes and beveling the edges a bit. I decided to try to build a four-piece hill that can go against the edge of the gaming table or all four pieces together to form a larger hill.

More assault marines

A proper army for Flesh Tearers should have a lot of assault marines.
So here are some more to join the fray. Basing is not done as I am saving up a good bunch of minis and base them all at once.

Gaming Table - Finished

A month later and it is now finished. 
With the two boards in place, the folding legs are working as expected and it was a quite simple solution compared to the other ideas I had.

Gaming table - 2

After a few smaller building sessions, the table is almost done.

Mounted the legs first.

Gaming table - 1

Today I started building my gaming table after having discussed it bit with the old man.

It will be a middle part of one 2' x 4' which will have two fold-able legs on each side that will support the side boards which will be just two 3'x'4 MDF pieces with a locking/supporting piece in the middle. My first plan was to have hinges for the side boards but that will make the whole table a lot heavier so I decided to just have them rest on the fold-able legs.

Totenkopf part 1 done

The progress on my Totenkopf company has been quite slow, the main reason has been a pregnant wife and the fruits from that: my lovely little son. Quite a project in itself.

This weekend I managed to put the final touches of part one of my SS Panzer Kompanie. 

The force so far consists of my fictional SS-Hauptsturmführer Ernst Braun and his second in command Victor Hauber.
Forming Zug 1 are another three Panzer IV (one with magnetized barrel).

Zug 2 is formed by five Panzer IV G.

Zug 3 is made up from five Panzer III G, shown behind the recon platoon.

All tanks are from Plastic Soldier Company and the recon platoon are Zvesda's SdKfz222 (one slightly modified with an antenna made from a paper clip), this made the cost of this core for my German force quite low at about €60, resulting at about 40 points per euro. Of course it adds some time when it comes to building the tanks but I find it OK in comparison to the prize.

The force has gotten the basic colors, a gloss varnish and a wash to black line them and I consider them battle ready. Next step is to add highlights, weathering and the final varnish but that will probably have to wait a while.

Explosions everywhere!

Put together some destroyed markers, here together with a Sherman M4A3.

Almost done with some Panzer IIIs and a SdKfz222, I need to order decals for them before I can put the final touches.

Been quite busy around the house and at work, but hopefully things will calm down a little bit so I can continue with all the little miniature projects I have started. Panzer IVs for my panzer company have been primed and base painted, camouflage and details left. Will post some pictures later on.
