@monroe Actually I hear that a whole turn equates to 6 months for A&A…
Some FMG units
-
very nice painting. The dark lineing/washes give them thats sence of depth/scale which makes them easy on the eye.
-
Thanks Chag - always nice to hear from a talented painter! Have a lot more pics… but this forum is a pain to upload to… can’t seem to get the others up here despite them being the same as those already posted… :|

OOrah fellow Desert Stormer!!!
Wish I could get my pieces in Playable state like yours.
I got my start with A&A as a boot Marine in 1988 and never liked the OOB units and thus began scratchbuilding for my original Game.
Great job!! -
:-D
Cheers Sgt. Eh eh eh … oh yeah… good times.
In regard to the OOB… I go back and forth with the OOB pieces man, on one end I kinda like that there isn’t a whole lot of detail - that way it leaves room for more elaborate painting (and now modding). But on the other hand… when an OOB piece still looks plain when your done is frustrating, and next to some of the newer pieces from FMG and HBG, well… But then again, I’m working with the AA50th, so I think it kinda appropriate to include a variety of OOB pieces, kinda like a tribute to the game kinda thing ya know?
BUT, I try to keep in mind that they are gaming pieces and with that in mind, I design mine so that "ease of gaming/recognition trumps historical accuracy (not that I’d stand for inaccuracies mind you ;). I don’t have the luxury of playing with folks who are WWII savvy to the level of knowing particular units… if I still lived in the states and played with one of my original crews… yeah, different story then, wouldn’t worry about easily identifying the piece. But recently been painting a couple units from each nation (my AA50th - the Italians above are with FMG now) to more closely resemble their historical counterparts. Looking forward to posting some of those pics…
-
Some transports/bombers…
-
Couldn’t fit this one on the last post…
-
Hey…uhhh… modsters. That file prob., you care that I;m uploading these or you need some breathing space? 8-)
Some aircraft…
-
My own games only see mech. infantry via tech. dev., so I had a good time painting these…
-
Too much mech. for AAorg, that last one had to be posted on its own…
-
And if you’ve glanced at my own AAA50th set, you’ll know I’m a big fan of tanks. :evil:
-
And my last one until I bother to go and recover the in-process pics…
And yeah, they’re tanks in the desert. 8-)
Add: Whew… these photos look uhhh, different. What’s up with that… going to check on reducing the sizes or something… grrr.

AWESOME! but yes… would be more awesome if I could see them properly. :lol: I guess there is such a thing as too much resolution. Hopefully you can shrink your picture sizes or something.
Love the heavy tanks.

“V”,
––Thanks for posting some more pics,…and just for me, wow! :-D
----Some really nice paint jobs there “V”. I always enjoy looking at your painted units.
----And by the way, I’m sorry but you shouldn’t expect any royalty checks for your part in naming my ‘gang’. :roll:Happy New Year Buddy,
“Tall Paul” -
Amazing painting job. Im amazed the painting detail you get on your navy pieces. If you lived closer I would have loved to meet you and show me.
-
Cheers Hoff - unfortunately, have a lot of other photos of these sets but they’re all of that funky resolution level *shrug.
Paul - dammit Texan! I deserve royalties - royalties I say! eh eh eh - and a here’s to your 2013 as well (raises pint).
Thanks Georgemak1 - would love to meet up and hell, have a game. These FMG’s are actually in Canada now though, hopefully Jeremy takes some pics of the finished ones and posts 'em.

“V”,
––I was IN FAVOR of your receiving some royalties,…but I was overruled by the Board of Directors. :roll:
@Viracocha:Paul - dammit Texan! I deserve royalties - royalties I say! eh eh eh - and a here’s to your 2013 as well (raises pint).
––And although I’ve lived/worked in Texas for 12 years now, I’m a native to Louisiana, Shreveport to be exact. So to be correct, your statement should read,…Dammit Louisianan,…or Dammit “redneck”. :-D
----Keep up the good work and stay happy.“Tall Paul”
-
Louisiana? Louisiana you say? Listen here southerner, I don’t care if you’re from the south boondocks - you get me some royalties ya hear? (spitoo-eee)
hehe
-
“V”,
––Well, I happenned to see the report by the Board of Directors and their contract they’re sending you. I wasn’t allowed to read it but I sneeked a peek at it,…something about severe winter weather in a place called ‘Hades’ or something. :roll:
----Oh, BTW, I’m a “citified red-neck”. Born with concrete under my feet.“Tall Paul”
-
I hear Hades is lovely this time of year, eh eh eh eh.
So Paul, was just taking another gander at some of your fine figs… are you going to have rules that correspond to the division/miniature stand? Or is it for pure coolness? (which it is)
-

––Sorry, I didn’t understand your meaning of “division/miniature stand”
––? Did you mean the U.S. Marines? My main reason was one of separating the
Atlantic(US Army) from the Pacific(US Marines),…I guess you’d call that a “Coolness” factor. I have enough US Army soldiers that If I choose to use them globally, I could have the Marines as a different type of unit. To tell the truth, I’ve been waiting until I had more units painted for ALL nations to enable that option.
----What is YOUR OPINION on having Marines as a different unit type with different A/D/C/M factors.
––For me, I prefer to have it available as an ‘optional’ rule if everyone agreed.
----As far as the UK-Calcutta-based Infantry “Jacks”, they are normal Infantry with different paint jobs for control/financial reasons.
––The Paratroopers would have the standard “house rule” A/D/C/F factors. Mostly what IL had mentioned with small differences. My main difference would be that
ONLY Air Transports can make paratroop drops or air transports, NOT BOMBERS!
––Air Transports that are already available are the Italian Transport from FMG,
the US C-46 Commando and now the German Ju-52 from HBG. Other than that, I really think IL’s paradrop/air transport rules are “spot on” as you’d say.
––Or were you thinking about some of the “Special Forces” types I have? I plan on having many, at least one for every country except China. IMHO, “Special Forces” units without special A/D/C/M factors would be nothing more than a waste of time and money!
––I’m truly interested in YOUR opinions on unit types and A/D/C/M factors as I respect your opinions.“Tall Paul”
