The Loose Association of Wargamers

Finished off the last of my South African infantry today (barring a few bases):

Macedonians, farsands of them, and arabian nights figures!

They're nice, RMD.

They are rather.

Hannibal’s African Veterans. Painting whilst watching rugby (had to slip that last bit in just to piss Buff off )

Let's hope he remembers his catchphrase - steady, the Buff!

(Nice work, RMD. Will they be at Warfare?)

Don't have a tv I can see from my painting space. Grrrrrr.

Me neither. So I made a plan. iPad and ITV Hub

Ta! Yes, they're for the Cassinga game at Warfare.

Purists will note that they're really 1980s-vintage Saffers rather than 1970s. For the 1970s they were looking more like British Paras in silhouette, with bare green metal WW2 Para helmets, R1 (FN FAL) SLRs and para-smocks (in brown, with grey reinforcing patches at elbows and shoulders). However, nobody does suitable figures for British or SA paras of the period, so I'm just using my pre-existing late 1980s SADF infantry (which are Peter Pig Israelis) plus these additional figures.

Thanks to Peter Pig's rapid delivery, I've got some Cuban T-34s on the go today. However, they just seem to have painted them plain green, occasionally with three-digit turret-numbers in white... Exactly the same as the Soviets... How dull...

I think I'm going to have to put a Cuban flag on one and perhaps a Che Guevara poster stuck to the turret of another...
