Looking for colour guides to paint your WW2 miniatures? I do have a few of those over on my blog and am constantly *ahem* adding new ones. If there's a particular uniform you're after which I haven't done yet, just let me know in the comments. moitereisbuntewelt.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.ht…

OK, I'm particular to Free League stuff anyway, so I know where my next paycheck will go

You mean analogous to a murder of crows?

Glad to hear! I think they're a bit of a throwback too earlier times when GW didn't take itself so super serious

mOiterei_1984 🇺🇦 @moiterei.bsky.social · 3d

Thank you! That was exactly what I was after. I find static poses on multi bases a little boring sometimes

mOiterei_1984 🇺🇦 @moiterei.bsky.social · 3d

They do look a little bit superb 👌🏻

mOiterei_1984 🇺🇦 @moiterei.bsky.social · 3d

Thank you, James!

Yes, in his first novel he fled through one. You should give 'em a read, if you're not too fixated on your Grim Dark. They made me chuckle a lot

Thanks Victor, glad you like 'em!

mOiterei_1984 🇺🇦 @moiterei.bsky.social · 3d

Thank you very much, Andreas!

Some of their Late Roman range. I especially like the kneeling figures as they work very well with some of the A&A poses thrusting their shields up in the air. And yes, Footsore and Victrix get Aventine Niederbiber type helmeted heads and, if I feel like it, the broad balteus sculpted on.

mOiterei_1984 🇺🇦 @moiterei.bsky.social · 3d

Danke Daniel!

All set up for the big weekend. Hope to see some of you tomorrow at the Hartenstein Airborne Museum in Arnhem.

I've just seen a certain Commissar Ciaphas Cain heroically charging the other way, screaming what might have been a mighty warcry

Another entry for #FinishedFriday with yet another base of 3rd Century Romans for use with #Midgard. Figures are yet again a mix of A&A, Victrix, WA and Footsore with some conversions and hand painted shields. Backdrop by John Hodgson

That sucks! I'm feeling so sorry for you, mate!

mOiterei_1984 🇺🇦 @moiterei.bsky.social · 4d

Looking good, Andreas! The underspray has given them a very nice colour shift

You're a 100% right in pointing out that German historians are rather bad in getting their stuff translated. I found that also true the other way round, especially when it comes to WW2, with very few apart from Beevor being translated into German. I just happen to prefer to read in English anyway 😂

I don't begrudge you your history, I just wish there were more continental European rules writers focusing on continental European history. Why can't we have both?
