Oathmark Revenant Infantry - two ranks of Revenants with sword and shield

 So having completed one rank of Revenant with two handed weapons, it was time to build two ranks with hand weapons and shields.

One of them is going to be a Champion, so was built with the officer arm and was given some bits of personal equipment from various Frostgrave sprues.

The bases have been milliputted and they have been undercoated.

Oathmark Heavy Elf Infantry

 North Star have just released their Elf Heavy Infantry for Oathmark.

Five figures per sprue, and six sprues.

Each sprue can build six heavy armoured Elves, all armed with hand weapon and shield or two handed weapon (or a combination of the two) There is also components to build a standard bearer and an officer.

The sprue does not contain enough swords or axes (one or two handed) to build five axe or five sword, you will need to combine parts from separate sprues.

Small Concrete Store - Warbases

 At Warfare 2024 I bought a number of Warbases' World War 2 buildings. One of them was the small concrete shed. The plan was to use them for Modern and When Nightmares Come games.

Something in the shed is attracting the attention of some vermin.

By design, the roof appears just to rest on the top of the building. Unlike many of Warbases' buildings, the floor does not have a step, it rests within the building (which lead to a mistake in construction). This, and my idea to place the building on a scenic base gave me the idea that I could use the "floor" as a plug within the building to hold the roof securely. So it was glued centrally to the roof piece.

Having assembled the building, I realised I had put the wall with the door on upside down, there should just be one concrete plank at the base of the door.

However it did lead to an idea for the buildings function, to contain a pump system. To prevent the ingress of flood water, there is a double raised lip, and the lower concrete planks are sealed with bitumen paint. Fuel is supplied in drums, but he suppliers are a bit lax in removing the empties, so they get left outside. 

The door and window are still to be decided

Western Forces HMMWV Weapons Carrier

 Civil War was a 2024 Action Adventure film written and directed by Alex Garland set in a dystopian future.

The film follows four journalists travelling across a country riven by civil war.

One of the secessionist movements is called Western Forces. 

This is a Western Forces HMMWV weapons carrier fitted with a protected turret and M2 HMG.

The model is from Empress (bought at Salute 2025).

The spare wheel carrier is made from Evergreen square and rectangular section plastic rod. The aerial is brass rod with an Evergreen plastic tube as the base.

Have you spotted the mistake yet?

The stars are five inch ones from Rubico 1/56 scale transfer sets.

This is where I went wrong.

I checked that the turret did not intersect with the smoke dischargers (from Spectre) before gluing them in place. The problem was I had missed that the gun shield is a lot further forward and will sweep through the dischargers.
