Theres some superb miniatures in this, especially if you are wanting to start a new Viking army for Saga 2

 

Painting Winter War Finns - part 1

As I said in another post I backed the Baker Company Winter War Kickstarter

I picked up the first part of the pledge at Vapnartak & started cleaning them up a week or two ago. It took me a whole evening to clean the up (4 hours!!). All the figures that are running on one ankle have been cut & pinned (just to be on the safe side!)

They are, I think, a product of their own success. By this I mean that they had quite a bit of flash & miscasting due to the speed & sheer volume of miniatures needed to fulfil the pledges.

Overall I would rate the figures at a 7 out of 10 for historical miniatures, which I think is more than OK, especially when taking into account the Kickstarter deal.

Right now for the painting.

I have undercoated all the figures with grey car primer rather than black as on the test figure.

I have then painted Valejo panzer aces splinter cam as a basecoat, followed by winter tanker White & stencil as shown on the figures in the picture below (in the same order) figure 3 has also been edged in CDA panzer grey ready to have the equipment & face painted

 

 

I will try & get some more done in the next week or so, but life is getting in the way of painting.

Winter War Test Figure

Well I've succumbed to the Winter War Kickstarter Campaign pledging for the £60 finnish platoon deal. So i thought that I'd best have a quick go at painting a white Snow uniform, I didn't have any winter troops so i used a black undercaoted Black Tree Designs Fallschirmjager figure & here's the results:

The paints that I used are behind the figure they are Vallejo panzer aces & P3 they are:

Splinter Cam base, German winter tanker white, Stencil & some final highlights of White.

Overall I'm happy with the out come, the splinter base is a very pale green & the others are just off white, I think for Characters I would Mix the Splinter Base & Winter White together for another layer.
