A Second Blog

After some thinking and dubbing I found it is time to open a second blog.
A blog that contains pictures of other models that i painted for other game systems (GW and Confrontation) before i started with FoW.
It is not to show how good a painter i am, because i consider myself  nothing more then an average painter who just wants a decent looking army on the gaming table, but just to show what else i have painted. And maybe will paint.
The blog is still under construction but i already placed some post with painted models (Confrontation).
Take a look if you like.

Metal, Plastic and Paint!

Thanks for reading!

Confrontation Miniatures: Maneös, Warrior Beetle.

This is the last painted Daïkinee model I have. All other Daikinee models are still bare metal.
I don't like this one. It didn't came out the way i wanted it to be (I don't say I am a good painter). I  specially dislike the eyes.

Thanks for looking.

Confrontation Miniatures: Daïkinee Sylphs.

These are also models for Confrontation. And as the name already suggest these are Daïkinee too.

Thanks for looking.

Confrontation Miniatures: Urul Tribal Chief.

This is also a Confrontation model.

Thanks for looking.

Confrontation Miniatures: Meari the Protector.

An other Daikinee model for Confrontation.

Thanks for looking.

Confrontation miniatures: Mandigorn Warrior.

This is model from the Confrontation skirmish game. A game that, sadly, no longer exist.

Thanks for looking.

Canadian tanks.

Now that i got my camera i can finally place some pictures of my painted tank platoon for my Canadian 3rd Division 7 (Western) Brigade Regina Rifles Regiment.
The tank platoon is from the 2nd Canadian Armoured Brigade 6th Armoured Regiment (1st Hussars) B Squadron.









Oh and 1 day I learn to make better pictures.

Thanks for looking

Christmas Wishes

I like to wish everybody who reads my blog and specially my followers a

Battle of the Bulge.

Today it is 65 years ago that the Battle of the Bulge started (16 December 1944-25 January 1945). It was the last main and massive counterattack of the German forces during WW II. The most famous event known by most people of the Battle was the defense of Bastogne by the 101st Airborne Division. But this was only a part of the whole battle.
For more information here is a Wiki link:

Online books:

Some videos i took from You tube.

-Irish Guards Armoured Squadron
-Welsh Guards Armoured Recce Squadron
-Guards Rifle Company

As with all files always be on the look out for mistakes. I can't and will not guarantee it is bug free. If you find one please let me know.

New army excel file Parachute Rifle Company North Africa (book 2)

I up loaded a new army excel file for Parachute Rifle Company from the new North Africa book.
Someone pointed out to me it contained some mistakes.
-The major one is that the Chemical mortar platoon is changed from 125 to 135 points.
-The Ranger platoon didn't give the proper stats in the OoB as soon as you added the 60mm mortar.
-A few minor problems.

The new file can be loaded from the known (i hope) links.

New army excel file US Airborne Hell's Highway (V1.1)

I placed a new army excel file for US Airborne Hell's Highway up for download.
The box to select the Guards Armoured Platoon wasn't working properly. It didn't show the 2 Shermans + 2 Firefly's option.
It can be downloaded from the usual places.
