Warzone: Afghanistan

If the interesting looks from the in laws in response to my WW2 Germans wasn't enough, I have now done sixteen Taliban.

Me and Zed have had a couple of games of Skirmish Sangin with proxys, and with our new selection of 'middle easten' buildings almost ready for the table, this was the perfect time to get these guys done.

I have a selection of weapons which should cover the majority of scenarios available in the main rulebook and dispatches supplements.

 

Compound - Finished

Not much more to say really.  It has come out well enough.  I need to pay more attention to filling the gaps for future buildings

Afghan Compound - Work in Progress

I've added a layer of paint to which I added some PVA and some sand.  I will put on a brown wash when I have a moment.  While I am waiting I will do some work on some doors.  More pictures when I have done some  more.

Afghan Compound

Binx and had our first game of Skirmish Sangin last week.  I had some modern troopers and Binx had some world war 2 Germans.  We fought over some Normandy houses.

As a game it was great and very lethal.  As a spectacle it was weak.  Not as weak as Cortez suggesting up turned rhinos could be drop pods but then again what is :o)

So Binx ordered some Taliban from Empress, I have everything in the recent Empress Kickstarter to choose from when it arrives any day now.  So we will be sorted for figures next game. 

So I started some terrain.  I saw a post on 15mm terrain and eventually it lead me to another blog; so I used it as inspiration and came up with this.

Still some bits and pieces to do and of course paint but it's a good start.  I will post again once complete.
