Been painting up the third squad for my US Infantry. Painting 1 model at a time instead of batch painting. Each model takes roughly 3.5-4 hours. 3 out of 12 finished so far.

Now with added buildings… The next terrain build project needs to be adding those items of scatter terrain that make the world look lived in.

Slowly slowly building the terrain collection. I’m setting up a take for a game tonight.

Just added this MMG team to my US platoon. Wonderfully characterful sculpts from W3 Wargaming.

I love how expressive the @warlordgames.com faces are. Many other companies could do woth taking note of this. Heroic proportions are good for adding this sort of character.

Built this wonderful model kit today. I do love a Rubicon kit! Tank Commander is from Trenchworx.

David Robotham @david-robotham.bsky.social · 01/06/2025

I’m getting real “drive over there I want to hit it with my sword” vibes from this tank commander. A 3d print from a Trenchworks STL file.

Finished off these 6 chaps. Now for their LMG support and another 6 men, to make a standard rifle squad or a mechanised infantry squad.

David Robotham @david-robotham.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

I built up 2 LMG teams for a mechanise Infantry Squad. I didn’t want them prone like many so many MG teams, so I kitbashed the new Warlord Airborne LMGs onto GI bodies. I scraped the elbow patches off and filled gaps around the arms and now they look the part despite also looking very “Hollywood”.

Played a great game of Bolt Action on Saturday evening. British attacking into the Germans, Normandy, Normandy, June 20, 1944. Despite ultimately being caught out in the open by a deadly artillery barrage, a well timed German counter attack was able to wallop the British advance.

I’ve been a bit remiss about posting any hobby updates. Truth be told I’m flitting between projects and floundering a bit. I’ve been using different projects to avoid burnout but I need to finish something to feel like I’m achieving… So today I finished the skin on these GIs.

David Robotham @david-robotham.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

Even more ruins on the way. These are all far more ruined ruins…

Building number 2! A Charlie Foxtrot Models kit embellished with grit, bricks and tiles.

David Robotham @david-robotham.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

The first ruined building is finished. A #charliefoxtrotmodels kit based on pvc foam board and covered in grit and bricks then drenched in mix of watered down PVA and IPA and painted up with spray paints, various acrylics and pigments. The posters are free from the @sarissaprecision website.

What a great game of Bolt Action last night. Thanks chaps. It was a bloody draw, with neither side able to secure and retrieve the central objective by the end of the game. #boltaction #ww2 #wargaming #history #warlordgames #historicalwargaming #miniaturespainting #miniatures #wargamingterrain

I also started painting a few more infantry today. Riflemen and mortar crewmen.

Ruined buildings sunning themselves. Undercoat is drying. Tomorrow I crack put the spray paints…

David Robotham @david-robotham.bsky.social · 21/03/2025

I’ve done some more work on my ruined houses from #charliefoxtrotmodels. Lots of corse sand, tiny bricks and gobs of watered down modpodge and IPA.

David Robotham @david-robotham.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

Another officer finished up for my US Infantry. He’s a 3D print from 3D Breed. He is scaled at 105% and fits wonderfully with the modern Warlord Games plastics.

David Robotham @david-robotham.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

I’ve designed and manufactured a set of printed MDF blast markers. Perfect as Shock tokens for #ChainOfCommand or #SharpPractice, or Pin Markers for #BoltAction. Also great for any game of #epic40k or #battlefleetgothic. www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1...

Working on some ruins. Kinda making it up as I go. I’ve got a ton of bricks to add next, and then some bits of wood… Let’s see how it all goes.

David Robotham @david-robotham.bsky.social · 04/03/2025

I’m going to put out a full guide in a few days, but I basically use the colours in this photo. I start with a base of Brawny Flesh and highlight up then shade down.

5 weeks and squad 1 alongside a few supporting elements is ready. @warlordgames.com plastic and metal models.

David Robotham @david-robotham.bsky.social · 24/02/2025

Rifles/muskets/bows/guns always rank up there with horses as my least favourite thing about painting historical miniatures. Anyway, that’s the recipes/process sorted for the rifles and helmets. Now to finish off all the other models in the batch. Models are @warlordgames.com plastic US infantry.

David Robotham @david-robotham.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

Only a few bits left on the first tranche of GIs. Guns helmets and bases.

Let the batch painting begin! 8 jackets left to paint, then it’s onto the webbing and trousers.

Dialled in all the colours for my US infantry. Now for the rest of the platoon. Hopefully the Fighting First will be table ready soon enough.

A bit more building today. The Rubicon models are just a joy to assemble.

It’s a classic missile launcher, resculpted for the new kits, but based on the very first Rogue Trader designs.

Going to practice the banner for my High Elf Spearmen. I also have some embossing foil to glue the paper too. Then paint it all up…

I built some High Elf Shadow Warriors last night. Really like the look of them! And I’ve still got enough bits for another five, which I may well build as the alternative Sisters of Averlorn.

Rebasing continues, and now I’m just reminded how much there is to paint…
