I broke down awhile back and picked up a physical copy of Chain of Command from TFL to go along with my digital copy. I also picked up the token and jump off point sets they produce for the game. The resin jump off points are rather robust and are essentially 3 oil drums with a tarp and some equipment on them. I went with the unique methodology of doing an image search for WWII German signs and picking three at random. The last one is just the top of a C ration case.
They look rather nice and are a bit more three dimensional than the custom ones I did a couple years ago.
The patrol marker sets come with four large and four small etched tokens for each side. The MDF soaks up the primer like a sponge, which made painting them a little more of a challenge. (Cohesion would overcome adhesion to prevent the paint from sticking.) I solved the problem by putting a layer of dullcote on them and then re-spraying with primer.
The large tokens are supposed to be the patrol markers, and the smaller one denote the Jump-off points. I really don't see a need for both as I also have the models, so I plan on leaving at least half of them behind at Jon's if I ever actually get out of my house.....
These look great! I made up some JoPs last week from a bunch of stacked crates.
ReplyDeleteCool, looking forward to seeing them. You now have a set of Patrol markers if you want them!
DeleteNice work ...always good to have more bits....and they work as scatter terrain as well
ReplyDeleteI was thinking that as well. Part of the reason I opted to pick them up. That and my civic duty to support small businesses in these troubling times. :-)
DeleteI just picked up some MDF terrain and this time remembered to base them with clearcoat before painting. The initial coat of color spray turned out much better than previous kits. Great minds... :)
ReplyDeleteIf only I had known earlier...
DeleteIt's always nice to have the hard copy, and the markers turned out well!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I guess I am still old at heart, that even print outs of PDFs don't quite feel as complete or useful as a well bound rulebook.
