About the Project
I felt that its more useful for me to use a common Projekt channel since I switch projects very often. So I will post all the stuff I come to work around here.

The poor bloody infantry
Semper fi! I finished the first USMC platoon except for the SMAW weapon attachments.
These guys will thfn be cramped into the tracks and rush to were the action is.
I will at this point go all in and expand the force to a full 105p army. Adding some M109 and LAV-25. M60 and VADS will join from my Israeli forces as I dont want to buy these multiple time while just playing them one at a time.
UsMC tanks and tracks
I managed to finish the M1A1 abrams tanks and the first transports for my marines.
For the abrsms I went with a modulation and tiny amount of streaking. The Amtracks got painted as usual in 2 Tone camouflage but thfn got a heavy oilwash to make them look really dusty.
Overall Im really happy with how they turn out.
Modern USMC
My current project will be a small USMC force roughly in the 2003 era for Team Yankee.
Since TY is set currently more in the 80s and 90s using battlefront miniatures I have to made a lot of modifications.
The 3 main components of the force will contain:
3 M1A1 Abrams tanks
1 Marine Platoon riding in AAVs
1 CAAT Hummer platoon
I started modifying the M1 by sculpting a lot of extra parts in Blender to 3d print them and add them to the vehicles. Despite the stowage this included APUs for the bustle racks, a bustle rack extension, deep wading adapters and a mine plow.
The AAVP7 just got stowage stuff. At the moment Im waiting to recieve some custom decals for the m1 to add some names to the barrels.
The marines were a bit more complicated.
Here I used green stuff to add flag vests (which cover the 80s webbing too), hoods for the MOPP suits and goggles and NVG attachmets for the helmets.
The combined anti armour team or CAAT will be represented game wise as a hummwee scout section.
The only thing I added are some field modifications I found on pictures.
This little force is for Team Yankee not a playable army but we will use some home brew szenarios which forces players to use more modern equipment, stay away from Spam forces and are a bit more specialized and story driven.
LotR black rider
This is one of the models which stood on my painting table for ages so I decidet to finish it.
Ignoring the Blood Bowl miniatures this is in my opinion one of the coolest GW models out there. I always liked the design from the movies. I still had to change the hood to made it perfect.
US tank company done
The armour part of my us list is done. Next up are infantrymen.
Im quiet happy with the dirty used look of this veteran Company.
Parallel im working on my King Tigers hoping to finish both forces by the end of the year.
US tank company wip
I started working on an us cavalry squadron for a v3 fow project.
The project changed since then and I now went with an veteran tank company.
There are a few nice options of units I want to combine in one list wich was not that easy in v3 like the super pershing and the m12.
For now Im done with the dcals and now varnish, details and weathering are left.
The Lord of Montigny and his knights
The first unit is done. Elite infantry representing my leader Robert, Lord of Montigny and his highest ranking knights.
To represent this I choose a second livery from agincourt of a french knight to break the amount of generic ones. Pierre “the one eyed” de Noailles with yellow stripe over Red.
The rest just got the white cross of St Denis over plain livery 2 of wich I painted green to go with the colour of the lord

Lion Rampant french knights
Some years ago I got my hands on a single frame of Perry foot knights (agincourt). I really like the sculpts and thought about painting 2 of them in non metallic metal.
Now since I started those two guys the question came to mind what shall I do with them. Diorama? Over some more days I decided that I will build up a small french warband around the timeframe of agincourt. So I ordered a box of french infantry and decided on the Lion Rampant ruleset.
The last two knights wich I start painting were a test of how effective I can apply nmm without slowing it down to much. Still pretty slow with 3+ hours for two guys but there are not that much guys in full plate armour.
I will finish the unit of six knights and then I will see how fast I can do those normal foot dudes.
Big Kittens and tank riders wip
For the King Tiger platoon i went with two zvezda ones. The unit will be of the 511st (ex 502nd) heavy tank company.
The riders got some pea dot camo to bring in some interesting camo.
A cat and some wierdos
I finally managed to paint something again. This time a Panther G and two Sdkfz 234/4 for my germans.
Those were an absolute joy to paint and I already got some King tigers to finally get back to v4.

6mm Napoleonic - main part done
Im done with the main part of my 6mm napoleonic french army.
Another project wich is now of my pile of shame.
I rebased the guard regiments to represent attack columns.
I think I will add some lancers of the vistula uhlans someday but for now I have to get back to 15mm
Reducing the pile of shame
Starting with my 6mm napoleonic project erlier this year I decidet to finally work on my pile of shame. The napoleonics now nearly done I switched to 15mm Samurai.
- Recently I got my hands on a speed paint box from army painter and these colours are a joy. For the mass of ashigaru I was searching for a fast way to get the red done and those colours really nailed it.
The final warband will consist of 2×8 ashigaru with spears, 2×8 ashigaru with teppo, 7 hatamoto samurai (the decals with the japanese slogen for their flags came from miscminis) and a mounted warlord.
Victory at Seas IJN fleet
I have painted a french fleet using Navwar miniatures in 1/3000 scale a long time ago. Now recently I wanted to build another fleet in the same scale but this time I just sculpted the ships by myself using blender and printed them afterwards.
The only thing missing now is a lot of flight stands for the carrier air groups and one more destroyer.
6mm Napoleonic French
Im currently working on a bigger napoleonic army in quiet a small scale.
The goal is to build up 3 brigades as the following:
Guard:
1x old guard grenadiers
1x fusilier grenadiers of the middle guard
1x fusilier chasseurs of the middle guard
1x guard artillery
Line:
1x grenadiers of the line
1x voltingeurs of the line
4x line fusiliers
1x line artillery
Cavalry:
4x husars
For the rules we will go with Black Powder but I will use marker for Formation Chancen.
Blood red Skies over the pacific
I redently finished some 3d printed squadrons for the pacific theatre.
For the japanese I went with J2M raidens as I prefer these over the zeros everybody seems to own. For the US I choose my favorit plane of all time, the P38 lightning.
600pts of scots
I finished some FoW brits for a v3 army building campaign.
