I was finally able to get some photos of my Colonial Germans.  They are for my fictional Africa setting taking place sometime in the 1890's.  I picked the troops from what I liked from all of Germany's African colonies and put them all into my own.  They have had border skirmishes with British troops to the North, the French to the South-East, CSA renegades to the South, and the Sudanese basically everywhere.  They are based individually on washers in groups of 20 for The Sword and the Flame.  My Germans are mostly Old Glory, Brigade Games, some Foundry, and West Wind.  While most of my colonial troops are historically based, I can't help but add a few elements of VSF.  Well, enough talking and on to the pictures.

Well here we go.....
I made this blog because I'm a very slow painter and I hope this will motivate me to paint a little more.  Another reason was to get feedback form other people, it's always nice to hear something looks good.  I hope to get some pictures of the figures that I have already painted up soon.  I just need to work out how to photograph them correctly. 
I currently have Colonial British, Germans, some Americans, and a lot of Sudanese painted for a fictional Africa setting that toes the line with VSF.  I have quite a few Space Marines painted up.  Never played with them, I don't even own the rules.  I just like the figures.  I have some Bretonnians/ knights painted with a lot more unpainted.  I just started to paint up some Empire troops just for fun.  One of my latest kicks is Greek Mythology.  A few Greeks against some skeletons, beastmen, and monsters.
Now I just need to get some photos....
