Clearing up another missing piece for my Airborne platoon is this 0.30 cal Machine Gun team for Chain of command. This is a Warlord games sculpt, and I opted to just base the entire crew as a single element rather than my typical individual bases. I go back and forth on this when it comes to skirmish gaming, but I am starting to lean toward putting all of my crew serves on a single base. It makes organization easier, and I dislike fiddling with prone minis anyway.
Once again, I used the Warlord 101st Airborne decals for the models rather than doing my 'impressionist' patches by hand. They work a little better on these models, though I haven't added any flags yet.
I am looking forward to getting CoC back out on the table. I just received some tokens and a hard copy of the rules in the mail, so I will now have to see if I can convince my son to have a go. With that in mind, I am already working on expanding the collection to include a couple of British platoons as well.
Nice work, Jake! Hope your son enjoys or at least appreciates the game. I pushed a bunch of crates into the painting queue this week to use as Jump Off Points for CoC. One day, perhaps, we can get a FtF game in?
ReplyDeleteBeing out on the bike in the afternoon heat today, I was thinking we really out to rendezvous at Plummer for a trip down to Harrison and back. That is a safe activity, don't you think?
I have finally gotten back on my bike as well. I am pretty sure we should be fine on a ride as the the UV light is rather lethal to the bug in question.
DeleteA gorgeous LMG vignette, well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil!
DeleteI agree that gun crews tend to look better when integrated - you get that vignette effect.
ReplyDeleteIt does look nice, but the trade off is always the modularity on the table.
