Nordman Mercenary Journeymen¶

I finished the last ten models:

As mentioned in earlier posts, I saved all the horned models' horns to be painted in one group. I placed stripes of lighter colours above each other towards the tips, leaving the last colour to show through the bottom part of the next.

[15mm IABSM]¶
South of Cherbourg¶

The Army force is done. I now have an infantry company of 3 platoons each of 3 rifle squats (1 SMG NCO, 1 BAR, 8 rifles), 1 platoon of 3 60mm mortars, various big men and of course the company command with 5 bazooka teams.

The company is supported by a battallion level machine gun platoon of 4 MMGs; and is accompanied by a Forward Observer Team.

Rifle Company Rifle Squad II

Some spare models that do not fit into the rifle company organization, but will certainly be of use at one point in time.

I washed the models in Army Painter Dark Shade. Here are two comparison models before and after the goo applied.

And the whole lot, drying.

[15mm IABSM]¶
South of Cherbourg¶

The bases are ready painted, the brown highlighted with a lighter brown and an ochre drybrush in my usual style, then individual stones and pebbles picked out in a medium grey or grey blue and drybrushed stone grey.

All that needs to be done now is adding some static grass and then the final varnish.

[Tools]¶
Plaster Vibrator¶

I ordered some new molds from Hirst Arts. As the castings for my Frag board surly, albeit unfortunately very slowly, are depleting my plaster supply, I ordered a new bag of plaster. The current 25kg bag lasted for about 4 years, the new one hopefully will last as long.

While shopping for the plaster, my eyes were again catched by a vibrating casting machine, that helps removing and/or preventing air bubbles in the casts. I wanted to have such a machine for quite some time, using a pounding board so far.

As I plan to do quite some castings in the near future, I finally invested in the SILFRADENT VIB15.
