Update time.

So with the addition of some plastic US infantry (painted as Airborne) that I bought from Tadhg, a 30.cal LMG team and a 50.cal HMG team, I've basically doubled my force.

Having a better idea of the rules now, I realise the LMGs have to be part of an infantry squad. And squads have to be at least 6 men. So the previously posted 2x 5 man infantry squads and 2 man LMG team, are now a 6 man squad with 5 rifles and 1 SMG. And another 6 man squad with LMG, Loader and 4 Rifles. They can be played separate like that or combined to make a single squad.

I initially intended to do a single reinforced platoon. But I've decided to have 2 Lieutenants. So the previous Lieutenant I promoted to Captain. The 1st Sergeant I promoted to 1Lt and I painted one of the plastic figures as a 2Lt. This will allow me to field more of the back up units.

Finished Pics of the Dreads in the Comments. 8th May

Having finished my SR, I'm starting a Librarian Furioso and a Death Co Dread. For the DC Dread I am using the older metal Furioso model that I got off ebay and stripped the paint off. The Lib Furioso is basically the kit with a few alterations, like the 'hands' are off the Venerable kit. The book on the banner pole is a GK icon from the SR kit. And both banners and banner poles are home made.

Finally found a model that I liked the look of and was the right size.

Scibor Miniatures - 28mm Chaos Master

He actual stands more like twice the height of a Space Marine.
Perfect as a Pre-Daemon Angron just after Istvaan Massacre when he is starting to devote himself and the Worldeaters to Khorne.

Have added some wire to represent the psycho-surgery and put a number of Khorne brass symbols from forgeworld to replace some of the chaos icons; also changed the Mace end for an Axe (more khorne like).

Now to spray him up...more to come

So finally got round to adding some colour to Rasputina and her crew



Really loving painting these guys, taking my time adding layers of ink washes and highlights.

Still plenty to do...

What do you think?

Welcome to my blog here. I hope to have it cover my SPACE:1959 project in one place.

This has been ongoing for over a year now, but with interuptions like moving etc it has progressed in fits and starts.

Firstly my latest additions:

Building is directly lifted from the wonderful Matakishi's site. http://www.matakishi.com/afghancompoundbuild.htm

I have borrowed his Afghan compounds to use for villagers living near the Fire Zone on Venus. It is currently unpained as I intend to make several more of them and then batch paint them.

The base is 300mm square MDF, and the Orks on the roof for scaling are GW ones.

Also in the shot are 2 of my wip vehicles, a Saladin APC and a M113.

On the roof is also a BAOV Dragon Team and the Brig overseeing the building with the thought of using it for his new HQ.
