I've finished painting up my 15cm howitzers for Flames of War. I had significant motivation for this one since I didn't glue them to the bases before painting and the guns were taking a beating in a pretty crappy travel arrangement. I'm really glad I decided to drybrush these guys as opposed to highlighting, drybrushing was so fast and came out really well.

| The battery of four 15cm sFH18 heavy howitzers. Empty shell casings are bits of the spray-stick that comes with WD40. |

| The officer class doing some math and enjoying some ersatzkaffee. Pretty much boiled, burnt acorns. Gross. |

| My main concern with drybrushing was obliterating the detail of those rivets, but they turned out fine. |
These guys are furious in game, no gun shields is pretty much their only downside (and they're a hefty price in mid-war lists). They're easily capable of pounding infantry out of their hidey-holes from corner-to-corner on a 4x6 board provided I can range in on them...which is iffy. Thus why I clearly need like 12+ bad-ass armoured cars to go a-scoutin'...
Look like this summer painting challenge is going well for all. I'm again at the status of having all infantry-base models in FloW painted which just
turns my crank, frankly.
I love the little maps on the table! They're so fucking cute. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I wanted to spend some time on that staff team model. I also got a random, perfect little cylinder in the staff-team bin which I made a coffee cup. I actually have no idea if it's supposed to be or was just a lucky bit of sprue.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! That's one amazing thing about flow is that every base is a little scene. The artillery, and particularly those officers look so good. Not impressed at ruining a WD40 rod though, those things are near worth their weight in gold.
