Flames of war. Minefields

As part of my German defences, heres some minefields  made.

Fiber Board. Cut to size.  Cheap Filler, molded into little craters.

Whole lot painted brown.

Static grass added. Little plastic discs added.

These were cut from some plasti-card with a hole punch, glued on then brushed with a little silver.

Gravel effect sand glued onto craters to create blown earth.

 Then washed with a little brown ink.

Im now considering some logs and bushes, but not convinced yet. 

Flames of War HMG Bunkers

So, after deciding on playing a defensive force of Germans, I chose a list that included HMG nests.
You can of course buy them, but I really liked the home made version I saw over on Model Dads blog so decided to try that.
Heres the outcome....

Cocktail sticks for the gun window. Extruded foam to bulk up the edges.

Cheapy filler created the slopes and shape. Then glued down the 'log' roof.

Texture paint added

Drybrush lighter brown

Finally some static grass and tufts :-)

Flames of War

So, after a break from 40k for a while, Ive recently been playing Flames of War with some friends.
Its proving to be huge fun.
Its WW2 15mm and has a Team on a base rather than a single figure.
You can play Early, Mid or Late War, or indeed WW1 The Great War.
Almost all the major and many minor Nations involved are catered for.
Take a look here.
