Ken and I are supposed to play Volley & Bayonet this weekend using
Keith McNelly's excellent scenario for Teugen-Hausen, 1809.
We had been meaning to play this game for quite awhile but for various reasons had not gotten around to it so this weekend we should give it a shot. I had prepped the large Volley & Bayonet bases weeks ago but today figured we should game in style and decided to flock all of the bases I had prepped weeks ago.

31 brigade bases, 34 linear bases (those are mostly for Lobositz, hopefully one day) and 29 skirmish detachment bases |
Well one thing led to another and I decided to flock everything that needed flocking...Soviets, skirmish stands, SYW Austrians, AWI British...you name it. hours later here I am! My fingers have grown a few ring sizes thanks to the extra Mod Podge also, I may have ingested a ton of green flock as well....it has to be high in fiber right?
|
Bolt Action squads now fully flocked and ready for action! |
|
Not Imperial Guard and Not Space Marines! Eventually Im going to paint and drybrush the sand and grit on the space marines' bases. |
|
Surprise! A "Trencher Mk II" Not Leman Russ Battle Tank! He's almost ready for the first layer of camouflage. |
|
An unusual bunch of lads for sure.Not all of them are flocked...yet. Before I go to sleep they will all be done! SYW Austrians, Hale's Continentals, PA Militia, 55th Foot...you name it! The gang's all here! |
Anyways that's all. not much gaming or painting going on tomorrow as I'll be up hiking in the mountains. However check here Sunday evening Eastern Standard Time for hopefully a nice AAR of Teugen-Hausen, Volley & Bayonet style. (now with nice, flocked bases).
Very nice! Where did you get that tank? It has a real retro sci-fi look.
ReplyDeleteJohn,
DeleteSomeone commented on my blog when I posted the "Not Imperial Guard" troops a couple weeks ago. (I think you commented on it as well if that helps).
Anyways here is the link. I absolutely love them. He made a "Not Chimera" as well but I think that's special order only as he's setting his sights towards different things but I don't think he's abandoned the 15mm project by any means.

Flocking heck!
ReplyDeleteWell done. I find I go through bursts of flocking as well. If I tried to carry it out piecemeal I think it would be a flocking disaster...Mentally.
Nice one.
Paul,
DeleteSometimes it's just brute force and ignorance that gets a project finished. You just have to get it flocking done!!!
All at the same time is much preferred to individually by unit!!
