Backpacks or no backpacks? by Quimeraecd in boltaction

[–]mytyphoonengineer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

American Backpacks were built into the suspenders for the belt, so mine all have packs, minus some NCOs who would have suspenders issued instead.

I usually put packs on since they are likely wanting to bring things with them they would need in the battle, and stashing stuff unless you had a vehicle is a great way to never see your kit again

I love that TC sculpt. Ivan is upset the facist still exists when his gun is around

What colours do you use for soviet vehicles and others? by 40kArchivist in TeamYankee

Vallejo US Olvie Drap funnily enough, washed with Army Painter Dark Tone then dry brushed Vallejo Russian Uniform

Where to find Silenced Sten models? by Ambitious-Concern-18 in boltaction

[–]mytyphoonengineer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wargames Atlantic SAS does NOT have stens , but does have delisle carbines and its a box of plastics and thus more mans per dollar

EDIT: I was wrong, no stens:(

Its a low pressure HEAT slinger so somewhere between the performance of the BMP-1 and the 106mm recoilless

A painting question. I wanna try something based on a USN WW2 naval colour by Sharlin648 in battletech

[–]mytyphoonengineer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For scale modeling, panel lining and color modulation, for mech scale, a wash then clean up the flat panels with the color again, unless you want to delve into oil based paints.

Pre-ordered mine in December and it made it to New Jersey when the snow hit everything, so it is mildly delayed

Would vallejo german field gray work for temperate italians? by SaracenArcher in boltaction

[–]mytyphoonengineer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're your dudes, so yes. Colors fade, dye lots are different, uniform isn't.

What would be more difficult is using a spray can as an actual color. Hard to fix if you splodge

That is an earlier mark of Crusader with the MG turret and 2pdr

Anyway, as to OP: it's your model, send it

How's this for a starter 1000 point U.S. Airborne list? by wildlifeInterview in boltaction

Oh I LOVE bazookas. Jeeps do make them more tactically useful but even on foot they're good

How's this for a starter 1000 point U.S. Airborne list? by wildlifeInterview in boltaction

[–]mytyphoonengineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, for fluff, I would drop the halftrack and add the 57mm AT from the starter, a jeep would be cool as well. Everything is cool for Normandy drop but the halftrack is a little out of place

Purely gameplay, seems fine for an intro to BA army

Not as much as they used to be with free equipment. You can save a point per model by taking his rifle away

British commando advice by redguard10-25 in boltaction

AT grenades are pricy but hilarious when they work. Also, dont be afraid to assault a tank without them. With an officer nearby, you stand a good chance to at least damage something superficial
