*Changed to Moderns Miniature Paint Pile* Vietnam US figures (catching up on my paint pile)

and finally caught up to what im painting now…

not done yet but theyre generic police armed response and one insurgent (from infinity) again for when we play more pulpy rainbow six siege style games

I also wanted to add some insurgent types which are a bit like the rainbow six aesthetic so I have added a few of the infinity models i had lying around for ‘characters’ within the insurgents

vaguely based on solid snake and the kilt man I have tried to do a kilt in cornish colours!

This project changed alot in the time it took me to do nothing. In that time i have a large pile of moderns to paint. I want to get my brother into playing some moderns so would like a varied mix – above are the modern military types, which I believe are canadian however initially they’ll play the gap for most western nation state forces. I think we will end up going more down a rainbow six route as this is the sort of aesthetic that he likes…

I ended up getting the rest of the miniatures which were partly primed and a bit of green was painted on them.

I followed the pattern of painting below and quickly painted the rest, i like the weathered – rained on look it gives them too

1. i liked how these turned out, i have 6 left which i might paint a little differently, some are downed airment2 im not sure i am a fan of the cartoony faces, think i would want something a bit more serious next time3) the bases look great, i used herbs pva’d down, ink washed the top then varnished them – which seems to give a good wet ground look. Downside they vaguely smell like bolognese!

   and a last few group pics!

I bought a load of miniatures which I never got around to paint.. below are the first few and to be honest i made some mistakes. The things are like are some of the faces on the miniatures, I’m not very good at painting darker skin tones, so i have been playing around with these miniatures, however on future ones I’ll try and refine my technique somewhat. my favourite was a hint from mel the terrain tutor – using herbs on the bases to create jungle like conditions (with a wash over the top! love it!)
