All of them! Yes, the entire collection...sounds quite impressive doesn't it? Or, at least it does until I admit that I only have what is pictured above...and well, technically there are more Quonsets to paint...


The last batch of seven took me a bit longer than I intended, and they did require a trip to the FLGS as I had run out of whatever long oop GW brown wash I had used on the original minis. I opted for Seraphim Sepia and honestly can't tell the new from the old so it was a pretty good match.

Okay, so there's a slight difference...but ya really gotta look for it!

Like the other three, these Quar are crunching around in the fallen leaves of Autumn, be they on the 'ground' or hung up in the tufts of grass. Speaking of the tufts, I apparently got some glue for the flocking into the grass as well. Initially I was trying to remove the flock that stuck to it (largely resulting in the removal of the entire grass strands) but decided that (1) it just looked like a different type of weeds if left as-is and (2) it was much easier to leave 'em be. 

Their rucksacks are all the same barring that of the platoon cook. His has several unidentifiable gubbins on it which were a bit challenging to paint as I wasn't sure what they were. 

With my meager collection of Quar infantry painted, all I have left is the equally sparse remainder of the Quar motor pool. They're is still out in space somewhere, consisting of a Vickers light tank coming from Blitzkrieg minis, as well as a pair of 3D printed vehicles: a 15 CWT truck and a Tilly. The latter two were purchased off of ebay and can double as terrain as easily as they can be used in an army.

I do wonder at the value of unarmed, soft skinned transports in games of Bolt Action, although the question is largely academic I suppose. Locally the game is dead (currently), not that I'm a big of a fan of it to begin with and well...this collection shaping up to be more of a hodgepodge of early war and Home Guard units that I like, rather than any sort of proper force that would be worth a damn on the table top. 

For now though I'm not sure what to paint next...Battletech? Orks? 15mm infantry? Astral Claws? Black Templars? Dunno, will see when I next pic up a brush I guess.


Photos fixed...sure was nice of blogger to wreck almost all of them wasn't it?
