Warlord Chindits and Far East Armour Support.

Welcome to  infill June...
An attempt to clear those odds and ends which fall into various projects, which have fallen out of favour in recent months or are not core units or were part of the slowly shrinking lead pile.

After a run of Bolt Action games in 15mm I thought I would give the Far East project a make over which led me to unpack these, a birthday gift from January in the shape of some plucky Brits.
I have an idea for a jangle crawl type game, being chased by nasty Japs through jungle trails. More on that in the coming weeks.


Several years ago I painted up a bunch of US Marines and Japanese for Guadalcanal but lacked some US armour support tucked away in a draw was a Stuart/Honey Tank from Warlord.



I need some decals to add to the tank and some extra weathering but it's a useful addition to the defenders.

Now I just need to think about a scenario that combines all troops, perhaps combined operations with Merrills Marauders - Operation Thursday?

Next up Seabees which have been in my possession for less than 2 weeks is this a record?

  1. Nice to see you tidying up a few projects, or at least trying to. I have far too many projects either on the go, stalled or frankly never got off the ground!
