Now For Something................................

Completely different.



40mm American War of Independence, Front Rank Figurines.

No I am not off on another tangent this a test figure for a commission, 28mm Front Rank figures are a joy to paint and their 40mm is no different.

I have not been completely idle on my own collections, I have rebased the Goth warband units rather than have the additional base tagged on the back shown in a previous post, they now look the part I feel. I have not taken a photo as I am hoping to get them on the table for a game soon.

When I want to field a Volksgrenadier platoon in Battlegroup games I am a bit weak on Stg44 armed figures so I ordered up these AB Figures, received and painted within a week so that I could enter them in the Battlegroup FB group build for February. No prizes just a spur to get some of your plastic pile and lead lump down.


As with Front Rank, AB Figures are a pleasure to paint.

TTFN and KBO

    Phil a really nice application of muted colour on the 40mm, looks just right. The AB have come up a treat, the epaulette really sets them off.

    Good luck with the commission! Shame about the Krauts' fate though...😁

    Lovely work Phil, the 40 mm looks lovely would make a nice collection but a lot of storage space !

      Thank you Matt. Just think of all those 40mm buildings as well.

    Great looking figures and I agree with you one hundred per cent.....both Front Rank and AB are lovely figures to paint. I have been tempted to consider 40mm for skirmish level games, I must admit....but have resisted so far!

      Thank you Keith, 40mm is indeed most tempting for skirmish games and the AWI is ideal for skirmish games,
