Undercoating the Flames of War Renault FT-17
The Renault FT or Automitrailleuse à chenilles Renault FT modèle 1917, inexactly known as the FT-17 or FT17, was a French light tank; it is among the most revolutionary and influential tank designs in history. France still had several thousand First World War Renault FT tanks in 1940. Over 500 of them were still in service in independent bataillons de chars de combat (BCC) tank battalions in the front lines. Although adequate for infantry support, they were totally outclassed by German tanks in a mobile battle.
Having constructed the tanks the next stage was a white undercoat.

Dreadnought
Finally got around to sticking together the Space Marine Dreadnought that came with the Assault on Black Reach.
As you might expect the model does go together very easily, having said that I did have a “moment” when gluing the model to the base!
Underneath the Flames of War French Hotchkiss H-39
Despite having been designed from 1933 as a rather slow but well-armoured light infantry support tank, the type was initially rejected by the French Infantry because it proved difficult to steer while driving cross-country, instead being adopted in 1936 by the French Cavalry. From 1938 an improved version was produced with a stronger engine, the Char léger modèle 1935 H modifié 39, that from 1940 was also fitted with a longer, more powerful 37 mm gun.
Having made up the models, and having given the models a white undercoat, the next stage was to basecoat the models. In order to add shadow I gave the underneath of all three models a spray of Warpaint German Armour.
See the workbench feature on the Flames of War French Hotchkiss H-39.
The Dark Knight Rises
I have quite enjoyed Christopher Nolan’s reboot of Batman with the first two films, The Dark Knight
As you can see in the trailer there is a fair bit of hardware in the film and lots of ideas for gaming.

Free Judge Dredd Rules
The Judge Dredd miniatures game has been updated and is as usual free to download.
Judge Dredd is a 28mm skirmish game designed to be quick, easy to learn, and capable of handling the madness that is Mega-City One, from the powerful judges to the lowliest punk or mutant.
Players can choose from a range of forces present in Mega-City One and beyond, from the Judges of the Justice Department itself, to the nastiest street gangs from the worst sectors of the city. Add to this Klegg Invasion Forces, Cursed Earth Desperadoes, Fattie Stampedes and Sky Surfers, and the true madness of Mega-City One is set to hit your tabletop with a bang!
We are constantly updating the Judge Dredd rulebook, and it will always be available as a free download, allowing you to dive straight in and start building your forces. A complete camapign system is included that will let you build the experience and wealth of your force but at the same time there is a mercenary balancing system that permits even weak forces to play on an even level with much more powerful ones – even the likes of the Angel Gang and other well known faces from 2000AD.
I didn’t really read 2000AD when I was younger however I did go out and buy the Citadel Judge Dredd miniatures when they came out. I played a few games with them (using Warhammer 40000) and I also used them for a game or two of the Judge Dredd RPG that Games Workshop sold.
I will look at the rules, but somehow I don’t think I have the time to paint up new models…
