Terrain and Neglected Models: June 2019: Personal Round-Up

So I’ve finally got June’s stuff posted and photographed. Here’s what I got completed in that last month. A few figures, and once again scatter terrain comes to the rescue in helping me get to my personal sub-challenge of at-least-one-model-per-day-of-each-month.

Not all that many models, really. Only 9/12 28mm humanoids, one monster, and a foursome of 20mm dudes and pair of their vehicles.

Then of course, a bunch of “faceless” for want of a better term pillars and trees, capped off by a pair of slightly more interesting scenery/spell models.

A decent number of those models (most of ’em, really) do count for one or other of the two July Challenges.

The scatter stuff all counts for the terrain aspect, though I didn’t manage to finish any of the actually interesting pieces that I have WIP (and have been WIP for months, now).

 

More interesting (to me, anyway) is the amount of this stuff that genuinely counts as Neglected, for that aspect of the challenge. I’m happy to get this handful of little monkeys off my back and into the finished pile.

By the end of May this year I was up to 180 completed models. June gave me another 46/49 (if we double-count those herders and make some people angry) 😉 so at the end of June I’m up to 226/229 completed models for 2019!

We’ve got the next few models from my finally-getting-completed DAK force today – if I wasn’t so behind in my posts and I was able to post things as I finished them, these might have had two distinct posts, but it ain’t so – and as a result you get a two-fer.

The first thing on show are four more “marker” models. This time they designate “run”. And as such, I used teeny models of widdle mans doing a run. Kawaii! amirite?

This leaves me with only four more to go. The final four were only started in their most basic form, and so I’ve done their bases and have yet to get started onto their proper paint. Then I’ll be done with that particular little side project of markers.

Next up we have a paif of Volkswagen Kübelwagen – which if you’re not familiar with them, were to the German forces of WWII what the Jeep was to the Allies.

I don’t fully remember what their use or role was/is in in Flames of War, something to do with officers or command or some such no doubt, but I also figure it’s not that important right now. Once I get the army painted, and maybe even an Opposing force for them, then I’ll worry about pointing out the army, learning to play again, all that sort of stuff…
