    Great job, Ste! Always glad to see the WW2 stuff. Absolutely brilliant 👏 👌. I think I'm going to follow Dom down the Rapid Fire Reloaded rabbit hole this year. I think I'm going to do Russians and Germans in 15mm. We shall see how it goes... I have never painted 15mm. If you want to buy stock in the plastic soldier company... might not be a bad idea. I'm about to pump a ton of money into them! Have a great weekend 👍

      Thansk Steve! It's been good getting back to WW2 recently and I still have lots of work to do on my 15mm and 20mm projects. The plan is to reorganise my 15mm so that it is all Chain of Command compliant. Rapid Fire Reloaded may need to be added to the list. Looking forward to seeing your progress with 15mm 😃👍

      Cheers mate! Aye, the previous basing on the French was really pretty dull so I wanted the new basing to be a lot brighter 😃

      It's a fantastic range by Warlord Games. Having not seen it for quite a few years. It has been really enjoyable giving the whole thing a bit of a makeover 😃👍

    Your basing is always top drawer. Would love for you to do a video showing your technique and products used.

      That's very kind, thank you! Great idea for a video, leave that with me as it's definitely something that I think would make for an interesting video. Cheers! 😃👍

      Cheers Andy, much appreciated mate. I've found that it can be a little daunting giving already painted armies a makeover but it can definitely be worth. Lots of WW2 planned over the next few months....and in different scales too 😃👍

    WOW, eyecandies everywhere! Splendid figures and bases, I love the French mortar team and the Australian medic with the Papoo assistance, absolutly amazing!! 👍👍👏👏

      @OnPointHQ  7 місяців тому +1

      I have a copy of the Silver Bayonet but have never got around to playing it although it does look really interesting! I'm hoping to get through a lot of Bolt Action projects this year 😃

    Aussies looking particularly excellent. Long been tempted to do British in Malaya- probably in twenty mil.

    • @OnPointHQ
      @OnPointHQ  7 місяців тому

      Cheers Martin! I had actually forgotten how good the Australian range was, really characterful miniatures. Ahh that would look really pretty cool and with current adventures in 20mm....definitely one for the list 😃

    First time I've ever seen Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels represented in models. Love it! They deserve a lot more recognition for how much they helped us Aussies.

    Ahhh, the build an army days. That's how I got my French and Italians. The metal figs from that era were a bit on the small side. You've done a great job on your French! Love the native stretchers! A great little kit!

      I was trying to work out when I got my French through the build an army deal, must be 2016 or 2017. Time has definitely flown! The medic with assistants is an absolutely fantastic kit, full of character and a great piece for the army 😃

      Thanks Rich, much appreciated! I'm aiming to have both armies fully completed in the next 4-6 weeks or so. I'm also adding a few more bits and pieces to my Stalingrad German project and will be making a showcase video about them 😃

    Happy New Year Ste. I seem to remember that you hated lying down figures Ste. Is 'Better basing' Ste new phrase fore 2024?

    • @OnPointHQ
      @OnPointHQ  7 місяців тому

      Happy New Year Leslie, hope you're well. I think prone figures can definitely serve a purpose but I don't like them in my regular infantry sections. It would appear so! I'm currently giving my Stalingrad German project an updated and more consistent basing scheme 😃

    I'm still interested if you ever decide to part with your Polish Airborne. I'm sure my last comment was only about 2 years ago 😂

      I think it was about two years ago! I'm actually in the middle of reorganising my Bolt Action army and had my Polish Airborne out on Friday as I'm trying to figure out what additions I can make to it 😃

    what are the rules for the natives with a strecher?

    • @OnPointHQ
      @OnPointHQ  7 місяців тому +1

      You can add up to four assistants and they can help if the medic is attacked at close quarters 😃

    i'm starting a Bulge German army with 30 troops and 2 squads do you think two lmgs are worth it?

    • @OnPointHQ
      @OnPointHQ  7 місяців тому +1

      Apologies, I thought I had responded to this earlier. Whenever I run my German armies, I will always try and add two LMGs to my squads where I can. This is often cheaper than taking a medium machine gun team, with the buzzsaw rule you get more dice across two teams and you get increased manoeuvrability with them not being a single team weapon. Definitely worth taking two in my opinion 😃👍
