"Red Devils Jeeps and infantry for Bolt Action" Topic

Hi all!

Somewhat inspired by the painting tutorial on the latest Wargames Illustrated I finalized the last infantry squad and jeeps for my Red Devils! After powering through 2 squads and support weapons in less than a month in April these last s took about two months to finish of.

I tried to use quite a bit of weathering with paint chips, dirt and streaking effects. Worked out quite nicely, even if the dust on the wheels is maybe slightly too light coloured.

I'm going for a Arnhem themed force so lots of rubble etc. on the bases.

Few more pics can be found from my blog: engineered-gaming.blogspot.fi

They look great. Especially nice job on the Denison camo. Just the right level of color diffusion and can still be clearly seen.

Very nice!

Nicely done, the bases really make them stand out

Thank you guys! It's been quite nice to do the rubble bases as it's very different from anything that I normally do and it's actually really fast too.

Not a fan of Warlord or Warhammer 1944k, but your painting is solid.

Thanks! Bolt Action does have it's issues, but when used with more or less historical unit compositions, and not the over optimized tournament lists that people build, it actually gives semi-realistic results and real life tactics work quite nicely. And being able to play a game through in one or two hours is a big plus.

I also managed to finish some armor support in the form of a Tetrarch. Historically these didn't really prove too useful and I doubt that they will perform any better in the game either. The piece is tiny when you have it sitting next to anything else. More along the size of a tankette than a real tank.

Still a nice mini to paint and to practice weathering on. I did have some issues with paint coming off the tracks as they were more rubbery and quite flexible eventhough they are made of resin too. Still I managed to fix it quite well without leaving any clear marks. Hopefully the paint won't start coming off during gaming then.
