ETC-army project, is back on, after the Blood bowl goblins took up all my time. I will be playing Americans this year, which shouldn’t be a surprise, as last I painted Flames of War I did a US Sherman company with Jumbos/76mm/75mm/M4 downgraded tanks.

I got hold of 3 blisters of metal armored rifle platoons a while back, but i haven’t been able to find metal HMG's and Mortar platoons in Battlefront metal and also not any metal 57mm guns. So once more I have bought some models from Forged in Battle. They are lovely sculpts, not dissimilar to Battlefronts old metal range, but they do come without bases.

The loader for the HMG's is modelled stangely, so no matter what I did, I simply couldn't get the ammo to reach the gun, soo while I was adding sandbags to the Mortar platoons, I added a little green stuff to make it look nicer once painted.

So now it's just painting. I haven't decided yet, on my final list, making it hard to paint. Should I go full armoured rifle? Or a Rifle Company as they can have 2x3 57mm guns and cheap mortars? Should i take the plane?

Well deadline is 9th of July so I better get decided and painting.

Tooltip of the day.

I usually paint my minis on the bases, to avoid the problem of doing the bases around fully painted minis. The problem being I often find it difficult to get the filler on the base without getting it all over the minis as well.

The solution, cheap syringes for dentists. Now I can get the filler everywhere I need without getting it on the model.

I am finally getting close to completing my Blood Bowl Goblin team from Brutefun Miniatures. As you can see I still have the Bomber to paint, but as he is not being fielded, it might take a while. I also need to paint a bunch of Star Players, as the goblins can have a ton og not too expensive ones, but that will be another day.

For now I need to get back to painting some Flames of war minis for ETC, and with both The Arnhem tournament and the Italy books release coming closer I really need to get some painting on some models.

Event calendar has been updated and it looks great. Italy, Wales, Scotland, England, Poland, Romania, France, Sweden, Belgium and Holland. Make your pick. Do you want hardcore competitive or is history your jam? There is something for everyone.

If you know of an event and it's not on the list, send me a PM or comment on this post and I will get it on the list.

Together with the Sherman’s I also painted up 2 platoons of transports for some armoured rifles and a HQ. Battlefront plastic halftracks with metal tarps from an unknown manufacturer.

Late war Sherman company for FOW. Lots of 76mm and Jumbo’s. M4 early are BF resin with plastic tracks. 76mm’s are BF plastic and Jumbo’s are BF resin and metal with plastic 76mm barrels.

The early and Jumbo’s are repainted 2nd hand models and the 76mm is fresh out of a box.

Painted using MIG US modulation set, with a final highlight of Vallejo deck tan and a filter of Russian green primer mixed with thinner 1:8.

I can see that I still need to add some stowage and maybe dust to make them a bit more interesting to look at, but at least they are ready to play with.
