From ScottM: Counterblast Sci-fi Assortment

This weeks contribution is a collection of all my remaining figures from Bombshell Miniatures' Counterblast game. All 28mm figures are either metal or resin. These figures are from two different factions. First up are the figures from the Galactic Defense Force (GDF).

From left to right: Shrinaar Sentry, Shrinaar Enforcer, Human Sentry and a Combot. The Shrinaar are cat people, hence the tail.

The second batch are from the Lancers faction. Lancers are the rough-and-tumble fringe of society types.

From left to right: Unagi (Alanti character), Shrinaar Captain, Alanti Lanceguard, Shrinaar Clipper and Ur'Zarl (Shrinaar character). The Alanti are shark people. And finally for the Lancers is this Heavy Combot.

That should give me an additional 50 points (10 x 28mm foot) for a total of 130. Next submission will probably be some French and Indian War figs.

From DaveD - Technical - for Gaslands - 15 Pts

I picked up a copy of Gaslands just before Xmas, and have got around to the first vehicle for it . A classic Toyota Hilux with supercharger and big guns . It’s roughly 20mm scale

Few more things to come for this 

From TimG - Lavochkin La-7

 When I ran a Little Cold Wars game based on Task Force Smith in Korea a couple of years ago I used  a Lavochkin La-5 as part of the NKPA air support. I happened to mention at the time that it really should have been an La-7 which earned me displays of mock outrage from the players.  Carrying on the joke, a couple of weeks later John presented me with this fine (and presumably very cheap) kit, insisting that it be ready for a re-run of the scenario. It was a simple kit to build and I opted for a colour scheme based on the box art. 

From SimonG: HYW Terrain and Civilians

My first stab at making terrain. Concerned about storage but wanting something that looks good I decided to go for the Sally 4th Terra-Formers modular system. This can work out as pretty expensive (at least £10 per piece completed) and time consuming but I think so far the results look good. I've done two pieces -- a cottage enclosed by a wattle fence and a medium sized hill. Unfortunately I've now run out of raw materials (paint and filler) so I'm not sure I can work on any more but ultimately there will be 30 of these 12" square pieces allowing for a variety of table layouts. I've also scaled things like the fence so that they work for 15mm as well as I'm inclined to give this size a try in a future project. On order are trees so I can do a forest with a pull out centre to allow a unit to be located in the forest.

The cottage is a simple Tabletop Workshop plastic kit -- odd how I can do fine detail work on a 28mm figure but working on a house it all goes sloppy! The fence is simply cocktail sticks interwoven with strips of thick paper then coated in PVA and roughly painted -- a little time consuming but looks pretty good I think. Only trick is supergluing at start and end and making the strips as long as you can so as to avoid need for double posts at the ends.

The farmer and his wife and children are Wargames Foundry/Perry and came out nicely. The other bases that predate the AHQC are mostly Front Rank, with a stand of Perry pavisiers and a modified Perry Jehanne (modified to hold a standard which was home printed from this source)

Next up is a baggage train with a mix of Front Rank and WGF/Perry.
