As some of you may have noticed I have just released the new Gear Krieg book (http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/496579.page).

An endeavor like this is always a good opportunity to visit old projects again, for me it was the perfect excuse to finally build a Soviet Early-L-2 walker.


The model is based on a DP9 General Early Walker and a Zvesda Katyusha.
The Soviet L-2 lend lease walker was based on the M11A3 General Early walker. The BM-13 launcher system featured 16 tubes and was named after Mikhail Isakovsky’s popular wartime song Katyusha (“Katie”).
This walker mounted multiple rocket launcher delivered a huge amount of explosives over a target area quickly when compared to conventional artillery, but suffered from lower accuracy and a long reload time. The mobility of the walkers gave them the advantage to be relocated before being attacked by counter-battery fire.

I've always loved the look of this game although I have never played it. Your model looks great.

Thanks!
And please try Gear Krieg - big fun! It really takes away the seriousness from WW II gaming...

Hi again,

the new Gear Krieg book is doing fine, but it never hurts to show some more pictures...

So here we go, some more pics from the book:

US Helitroops - DP9


Valkyries on Desert Patrol - DP9, FoW Tiger, Peter Pig Pz III


Loki attacking T-44 supertank - DP9 and FoW infantry

I am liking what I'm seeing! That T-44 is damn cool!

Yup, a true beast and also very nice to play...

Are the Gear Krieg mecha 15mm? I've been looking for exactly those kind in that scale for ages.

So it appears. I always just assumed it was a 28mm - a true credit to the painters (AAN included, of course ) that post Gear Krieg stuff on Dakka (the only place I see it), as the clean finish and level of detail achieved made them seem larger than they apparently are (generally solid photography didn't hurt, either).

The original DP9 combat walkers are 15mm.

Recently Company got the license to produce 28mm versions of the walkers (pretty much the same as my license to produce Gear Krieg rules), so far they produced the German Valkyrie and the US Early.
