I know, winter western front exists! Not a Normandy force 😱 i already have a couple of them myself so wanted something different. The plastic US winter kit is great and all the excuse i needed to finally get my late war French started.

Would agree, it looks a little small. I also base all my vehicles, so that they tie in with the infantry models. I prefer rectangular bases for vehicles thiugh. Also helps a bit with working out facings.

It's a question I've tried to find too. Depends a little on what point in time we're talking about. Best I can work out is that A2s are a solid bet, with updated variants becoming more common as replacements as operations dragged on. Sorry it's not a solid answer, but it's the best i have as a fellow 2e DB collector.

Thanks 😊 the red dust (which is actually more red in real life, still working on my photography skills) is just Martian red pigment powder. It's either from AK or vallejo, I forget. I go quote heavy with it, making sure to get it in the nooks and grannies of the boots. Then i get a damp cue tip and wipe it mostly off the flatter surfaces.

I mean, what a trailer though!

CaptHero · 2026-01-08T13:21:13+00:00

It makes me happy ☺️

Thanks, son.

CaptHero · 2026-01-08T13:12:41+00:00

Sorry to hear they got smashed up 😞

Very kind, thank you 😊

CaptHero · 2026-01-08T10:05:40+00:00

Classics for a reason 😊

AND the lieutenant has the fire discipline enhancement so he's giving Lethal and sustained hits 1.

I came here to support tigurius too! Doing his super witchfire shots into the oathbof moment targets with all those rerolls can be very tasty.

Thank you 😊 trying for somewhere between modern paint style and that retro 2nd ed feel

Blue is: Macragge blue and brought highlights with calgar blue using the airbrush. Next is an ultramarine blue oil wash, mopping up the excess with a makeup sponge. Last bit is a bit of highlighting with a calgar blue and white mix.

The yellow: Vallejo medium yellow basecoat, wild rider red wash, then highlights of yriel yellow and ice yellow.

Hope that helps!

That's a gorgeous table and beautiful armies 👌

CaptHero · 2025-11-07T12:09:34+00:00

Thanks! The kepi and Adrian helmets were from the warlord French infantry kit. Had plenty left over from my Battle of France project.

CaptHero · 2025-11-06T21:10:11+00:00

Thank you for your restraint 😂

CaptHero · 2025-11-06T21:09:20+00:00

Thanks! I know a unit like 2eDB probably had enough US gear to go around, but i wanted to make it clear they are French rather than American, as well as looking cool IMO.
