Hobby Update 4/17/24

I was out of town for 1 of the last 2 weeks since the last hobby update, but was still able to get enough things done to throw together a report. I hope you’ve been following the release of the new Brushes & Bayonets Podcast (which quite frankly is a lot better than the blog). You can find it here,

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the post, let’s get into it.

What have I been Painting?

I have started on a brand new project, 1973 Egyptians for Yom Kippur War. A buddy of mine is painting up the IDF and the vehicles are on the way. I got most of the infantry done, and have a few heavy weapons squads left. I went for a grungy look that I could really get done quickly, and really relied on my washes. I’m happy with the way they turned out, but I had a hard time taking good pictures.

I need a few more bases for an upcoming Thirty Years War game, so I painted up some Cuirassiers and artillery.

Lastly I painted up a coupe War of Spanish Succession officers for a friend of mine. These are some of my better paint jobs and I’m very happy with it.

What have I been Playing?

The only game I was able to get in was a fun playtest of the operational rules Schwerpunkt. I played a scenario that encompasses the northern part of the Khorsan pocket operation in 1943, I had a great time and can’t wait for these rules to get published.
