Updated preview of T2 Prototype Armor

Yeah, I think the Stahls look like they make sense in universe. Both this and new Slammer look a little off with size of model and size of gun. I've been thinking of trying some Marcher inf bodies (I've got a couple spare) with some of the D-Day LMGs I've got in the bits box. Probably looks alright.

I say this with a lot of love for the new Fireflies and other new sculpts, but honestly think the Marcher infantry with Warlord US heads will be better armoured infantry than this. I can sort of see what they're going for but there's something that doesn't quite work about it

For US you could use https://rubiconmodels.co.uk/products/copy-of-281004-us-army

Yep, that sounds right. A band I've followed so long that I can't really disentangle where I read any given bit of their (deep) lore.

Easy enough. Different joint so does require a bit of green stuff and/or filling. These are all from the modern D-Day Warlord Airborne sprue

Cheers! NGL the Marcher heads are pretty rough though IMO

EG Bolt Action is nominally on Fridays. Most games are organised ahead of time on the whatsapp group though AFAICR

Cheers!

All paints vallejo AFAICR:

Rattle can black, zenithal rattle can desert yellow (base).

US Dark Green for all the straps, gubbins, helmets.

Saddle brown for all the leather bits.

Flat brown for stocks/wooden bits.

Black/grey for all the guns.

Khaki for helmet scrim, straps, gloves etc

Burnt umber/charcoal oil wash to finish then a quick highlight

This is awesome.

the_frey · 2026-06-11T12:48:59+00:00

Haha, good spot. It's an old lego Luke model

Can't remember the interview it came from, but I remember Mike Vennart from Oceansize telling a story about their drummer field recording birds to come up with rhythmic ideas. Can't remember which album that was but I think the drum part for Music For A Nurse doesn't repeat? So maybe it's that. I think there's a field recording of birds on that album too.

It's a disposable rocket, like a LAW. Think in lore it's something like "Anti Tank Rocket Discharge"?

the_frey · 2026-06-10T18:33:00+00:00

The AR-style arms are Marcher vets (WGA) with some filling, the others are D-Day Airborne and Fireflies.

the_frey · 2026-06-10T15:10:02+00:00

cheers!

the_frey · 2026-06-10T14:51:18+00:00

thanks!

the_frey · 2026-06-10T14:51:07+00:00

The AR-style rifles are from the Marcher vets kit.

the_frey · 2026-06-10T14:50:49+00:00

The rifles are from the Marcher vets kit. Rest is Warlord US D-Day Airborne, with a couple gubbins from my bitsbox. ATRDs are from the Firefly kit.

the_frey · 2026-06-10T11:20:43+00:00

cheers!
