Blog Redesign

The Flames of War Blog is undergoing routine re-designing, hand tough and it should be finished/working properly in about a week.

January Challenge: Failed!

Technically I could still complete my January Challenge, but it would mean ignoring my family and my responsibilities for the rest for the day and going hard out painting and basing. That's just not going to happen. I'm confident however, that before my birthday rolls around, I'll have my airborne army complete, and will be eager to start a late war German army.

I did however purchase a storage container for all my finished scenery, but when i decided to transfer my previously completed pieces form the cardboard box to the new plastic bin, I discovered that two of them has not been given the grass treatment!

I'm happy with my progress regardless of the missed deadline, and am pretty sure I'll have a decent enough gaming table if we decide to play FOW this Wednesday, with a little bit of luck I'll even be able to introduce the guys (or at least my opponent) to a little something that we've never gamed with before...

Of course, there is plenty more I want to do for my gaming table, but they will be projects for the rest of the year.

Small Stand of Trees

Some shop bought trees, some MDF, paint and flock. Tutorial coming soon!

Free Stuff From Battlefront

On January 4th I emailed Battlefront asking for a replacement Gun Barrel for my Brummbär, which was a little deformed. In the same email I inquired about how I could go about getting an Observer Rifle team, Staff team and Command Rifle team for my Airlanding Battery, Royal Artillery.

As you can see from the photo above, Battlefront neglected to answer my question, preferring the easier option of just sending me stuff for free!

You just gotta love Battlefront.
