Operation Squad AAR

I actually got to play a game – although its a while ago now, So thoughts here will be general recollections through the filter of time..

I will say that it was very good fun, and the table, and miniatures looked pretty good. it was refreshing to play a smaller scale game with a lot of cover, and I think my next few 40k games will be the same, mainly because i still haven't got the 6th ed rules down. a shame as i think there's a lot in there for me to like.
anyway, Operation squad

A German Mortar Team eyes up my foe..
He brought British commandoes to face my Heer.
 
Tree lined roads make for lovely fire-and-manoeuvre terrain
 
Sneaky Britisher Commandoes using a big building for cover
 
 
almost a “panoramic” shot
 
German MG support on the hillside

Its a good, fast game where each model is a single man, the lovely sequences of intention, then initiative feels fluid and intuitive and it plays well.

I’ll definitely play this again, if i ever get chance :)

An Update? Can it Be?

Indeed.

Rising, Zombie like form the grave once more... Apologies to all who have kept this blog languishing in their "followed" list, - a New term always brings challenges and this one has been no exception. It is my hope to return to updating, but I wont fool myself into setting a schedule or any expectations. I will however share some pictures of some Germans I painted before the hiatus, and I've enough content for a few more posts I think, If i can find the time to both Paint, and Update...

So, some Germans for you then..

 
Weapon Team..

The Army needed a few more SMG users, as troops but also to fill in as NCO’s

I Did say a few, right? :)

I may also have bought a few in smoks..

And a few with Panzerfaust

Oh and maybe some more riflemen…… This is a problem isnt it?

It’s an ILLNESS..

OOooo a FLAMETHROWER….. how could I not?

AHEM, so yeah, I recovered form this German infatuation, although i do have a few Americans lurking in a drawer.. I may even also have a test fig waiting for paint for them. but that’s by the by..

I enjoyed these simply because they were delightfully easy to paint, that said they aren't my best work by far, but I think the pressure I've put on myself to try and get the Wolves looking god has been a major demotivation, in terms of time taken to get any progress made.

So what’s the plan? number one, progress on a certain Titan I've now had for such a long time, it isn't even funny… then progress on the wolves. I may also paint some Americans as its fast and motivating,

Lastly, the release of the Inquisition Codex may be the incentive I need to dust off some minis form my old DH army, see what can be salvaged and compose a roving Inquisitor to use with my Wolves and IG both.

Thanks for your patience.
