WIP: Black Earth 28mm U.E.F. 'Armadillo'...

...Infantry Fighting Vehicle. Pleased with the Black Earth 28mm miniatures I ordered from Nuclear Shrimp Games I promptly ordered more U.E.F troopers and an 'Armadillo' IFV. In an act over over-generosity and as a thank you for promoting their Kickstarter and posting images of the Lieutenant miniature the guys at NS refused to charge me for my latest order. They have in fact sent me even more items since! Thank you gents - I'm absolutely delighted.
On discovering that the 'Armadillo' had a hollow hull I decided to have the rear doors (actually door but I like the idea of it being split in two and it is very easy to do as the upper and lower parts of the door/ramp are seperate pieces) open and add a partial interior. Most of the interior will be hidden but at least it won't look empty if anybody peeks into the troop compartment! I will be building a small diorama with the vehicle and a few U.E.F troopers.

FLU!...

...recovering!

'Black Earth' Kickstarter successfully funded...

..by over 300%! Something to look forward to later in the year. Meanwhile I have nearly finished three of the UEF (not EUF as I've repeatedly been naming them) troopers and started prepping several more. Found alternative arms that will fit nicely with just a bit of putty work too. There are several different sets of these so I've ordered one of each to try them out.

WIP: Khurasan 15mm 'Warforce Reserve' troopers...

...I say WIP because I have ten more to paint. Number two and three are finished though.

Khurasan 15mm 'Earth War Force Reserve' officer...

...this is the first of a range of new 'Earthdoom' 15mm figures to come from Khurasan Miniatures - I have twelve more to paint. Khurasan usually like to have the minis painted and photographed before they are released for sale but it is possible they may very well be the subject of a Kickstarter campaign which will include vehicles and possibly different scaled figures. More news when I get it.

"They’re “Reserve” because the suits were retired when mankind adopted heavy power armour, but then alien invaders hugged the human cities closely, meaning the power armour suits were not able to employ their extremely destructive weaponry. Earth forces had no choice but to take the old powered carapace armour out of storage in the fight to regain the planet."

'Black Earth: Heavy Metal' 15mm EUF Trooper...

...when I received my 28mm miniatures order from Nuclear Shrimp Games I found that Yannis, much to my 'delight' had included a couple of 15mm miniatures (I DON'T PAINT 15MM MINIS!!...but these are so nice...NO!!)  they are producing for the current Kickstarter campaign. I, true to my conviction, refused to paint any...

Black Earth EUF Lieutenant...

...I just love these troopers! If this is an example of the figures I will receive from the now, well-funded Kickstarter I'm going to be both very impressed and very, very pleased!
