Postscript

Finished did I say? Oops! I'd forgotten that I bought some farm animals from Pendraken at May's Partizan show to give a bit of life to my farm scenes. Old age at play I fear! Anyway, I was sorting through the Lead Pimple, sorry, Lump and found the two packets stowed away out of sight! Cleaned up and spray undercoated PDQ and on to the painting desk they went. I doubt they'll be much interest, but for completion's sake, here they are ~

Some pigs! German diet seems to have been big on pork from what I've found looking around. Sadly all searches threw up nothing more than the run of the mill pinkish piggies, so here they are. Base colour is Foundry Terracotta Light, washed with the same company's Rawhide Midshade. Bases are from Warbases and ground texture is Basetex applied thickly to crack on drying out for some suggestion of summer grazing.

I had more luck with German breeds of cattle. These are German Black Angus, a cross breed from the 1950's and fine for my second farm scene. They are painted with the Foundry Equipment Black triad and lightly dry brushed with the same's Slate Grey shade. The bases are two larger Plastic Soldier Company's plastic bases I'd left over, painted with Games Workshop's Steel Legion Drab and liberally covered in static grass and a few clumps of taller vegetation. 

I suppose I should source a few farm vehicles, equipment and suchlike, but...well, we shall see. Hardly a priority in GHQ I'd have to admit.
