Microarmor Polish: T72s

Banged out a quick 10x T72s for my microarmor collection, since the upcoming Team Yankee doesn't seem to allow my horde of T55s. Five normal, and five with reactive armor.

Bolt Action: Polish AK Captured Panther

Won one of Warlord's new plastic panther kits at a tank battles release event. Figured I'd paint it up to go with my Polish AK. (which, coincidentally, haven't seen the table in about a year now).

Bolt Action: Polish Shermans

Some Bolt Action Polish Shermans.

Itty Bitty Tanks: More Microarmor Cold War Polish

Finished off some more Microarmor Polish...gotta clear the painting table for the Resistance!

Itty Bitty Tanks: 1:285 Microarmor Cold War Polish

A new scale and a new era. Bought a ton of these guys at Historicon - super cheap at this scale. It's my first experience with 6mm/1:285. I didn't really do a lot on the tanks - basecoat green, airbrush highlight lighter green, drybrush even lighter green, and wash brown. Picked out the tracks and weathered (simply a drybrush - wasn't going to burn powders on this stuff at this scale) and done.

FoW: More Polish AK

Finished off a HMG platoon, Kedyw Assault Platoon, and added armbands to all the assorted piats.

By Fire and Sword: Polish Dragoons

Picked up a box of Polish dragoons at Cold Wars. These sculpts look awesome!

FoW and Bolt Action Polish

Some random EW Polish projects in two different scales. Picked up some armored cars at NOVA last year - finally got around to painting them up, along with six more 7TP tanks. Going to try to run Polish armor in the next EW league using my 10th motor as support rather than the core.

By Fire and Sword: Elite Cossacks

Painted up a squad of BFAS Elite Cossacks. They're just standard cossack figures with shields to let them stand out. This gives me almost 30 stands of cossack style cavalry to play with for BFAS, and lets me field some smaller end division level forces as well.

By Fire and Sword: Polish Cossacks with Spears

Short and sweet - just doing a bunch of small projects while waiting on my BA Bersaglieri to arrive. The Polish skirmish force I've been fielding for BFAS can take these spear and shield armed cossacks for free, but I didn't have the models up until now. Should add a bit more punch.

Bolt Action: AK army complete!

Finally finished off my Bolt Action AK army. Was waiting on bases for the last eight figures. For those not familiar, the Armia Krajowa was a Polish resistance army during WW2. The underground force worked to provide a lot of intel to the allies, and were a major combat force in various operations, including the Warsaw Uprising.

Painting Update: FoW T35s and BFAS Polish Volunteers

 Was suprised to see Huzzah got in some T35s - I quickly grabbed them off the shelf and painted them the same night. Sadly, haven't used them in a game yet - having only two limits my options.

Some Markers and Project Updates

These can be used as pin markers for BA, wound markers or turn counters for any game. Nothing too spectacular - quickly done up and will be used as "giveaways" at the next BA tournament.

By Fire and Sword: Polish Skirmish Starter Box(es)

Well, I completed two Polish skirmish starter boxes. Took two days - painted one per day. 

Bolt Action Army Update: AK

No pictures. Just updates.

Horses, Horses, Horses, and Not Horses...

I guess you could say I like painting horses. I did grow up on a horse farm. Maybe that has something to do with it...

EDIT: You know, I always find things wrong when I post up pictures. Blowing the pictures up to the size shown on the blog really brings some things out that I totally did not see early. It appears on some of the 15s, static grass and flock had gotten on to the figures before varnishing, so now I get to work on remove that...hooray!

First up we have some Polish Lancers. These are the Forged in Battle models. Some folks may remember that I already have (had) an EW Polish Lancer Army. Well, I sold that at the last swap meet because I couldn't stand the fact that the arms were separate pieces and kept breaking off. So here's to round two!

Bolt Action "Polish" Sniper

Just a quick sniper for Bolt Action. I picked up this figure back when I had BA Soviets after seeing CBax's review on BoltAction.net. I've sense sold that army, so I shaved off the Soviet insignia, painted a slightly different shade of brown, and she'll be joining my Polish.

Some Random Game Pics: WFB and BA

No real content here today - just a few pics from some games I played today. Not enough of either to really make a batrep.

First I played Jay in a 1000pt Fantasy game. Jay was playing Chaos and I brought the Skavens. It ended up really close on VP with Jay eeking out the edge for the win. Apparently table quarters aren't a thing anymore..oh well!

Lucky Warp Lightning Cannon shot takes out half the unit of warriors

You got this, rat pack. You got this.

Fleeing wolves also scare off the warriors.

Before...

...After.

Hold the line, Slaves!

Warpfire Thrower explosion gone bad.

Slaves still holdin' the line.

Then I played a 1000pt Bolt Action game with John. I played my Polish Black Brigade and he played Germans.

I squeezed out the win in this one. Can't stop the Tankettes!

Tankettes take out the halftrack on turn 1.

ALL the TANKETTES

Tankette passenger.

A line of Poles

Some Germans advancing on the other side, hiding behind trees like the cowards they are!

Gorgon Studios 28mm Polish Black Brigade Figs

From Gorgon Studios

Still need to do something with the bases...

(apparently these got supersized at some point. sizing fixed)

Polish 10th Cav Update

Well, gotta kick this in to gear as I need these done by this Saturday.

First, the trucks more or less assembled. I left off the front bumper and the gear shift.

Plowed through the boots last night. Two platoons of boots w/ AT rifles, and 3 platoons of guns.

Still not sure what I want to do with the basing at this point.
