Have Supplies-Will Travel

 

As Napoleon once said "an army travels on its stomach."
Here we have some the supplies of an army ready to move out.
This style of cart could have been used by a variety of European forces for almost a thousand years of conflicts.
These specific pieces were designed for the Joan of Arc game by Monolith are roughly 15mm scale.
They and the house are plastic pieces...
that I painted this month.

World War Two Wargaming When Space is Limited

Short on space for a WWII armor battle, no problem, if you have access to some 1980's GHQ and/or CinC 1/285 scale pieces.
Here are five M24 Chaffee light tanks and five Soviet vehicles four with the dreaded Katyusha rockets on trucks and a support fuel truck. All in a space less then 100mm wide. 
The Chaffee's are GHQ the trucks are from CinC all are metal pieces.

Silver Strikes

One of the deadliest markswoman on Earth, Silver Sable (aka Silvija Sablinova) is a firm believer in the maxim-"One Shot, One Kill."
In addition to her shooting expertise, Silver Sable is a master of marital arts, hand-to -hand combat,
an expert gymnast, champion swordwoman and superior
strategist. Protected by a full body suit of Kevlar armor, Silver Sable is one of the greatest hunters of those of criminal/evil intent.
Silver is a plastic piece I painted this month.

Ammo is Now Your Number One Priority

In the midst of a vicious battle with the Zulu's, Leftenant Ambrose Amber-Smyth has only two words for Acting Assistant Commissary Adam B. Goodenraddy - "More Ammunition!"
Amber-Smyth realizes that the only way to stop the brave and mad rush of a Zulu charge is the stopping power of the .577/.450 Boxer round from his men's Martini-Henry Rifles, and lots of them. Which means his men need an uninterrupted supply of these deadly rifle rounds. 
So, they separate, Amber-Smyth to support his men and Goodenraddy to organize a steady supply of ammunition to the fighting line.
Amber-Smyth and Goodenraddy are metal pieces from Pul Figures that I painted in September.
