Yep, gotta work on more green on it, and green on the Thor launchers on the other one

Okay, the camo pattern set, needs one more of the Desert Tan as soe spots are too thin, I will apply with the right brush sizes. But here for now is the Odin/Loki gun carrier version of the Keilerkopf.

I KNOW I AM JOINING THE PARTY LATE , but i am sure its already been pointed out that in reality games like Wh are more like 32mm not 28 , which means they are actually closer to 1:48 scale . that scale just looks small compaered to the figs because a lot of the kit stuff GW began with and continues with is more like 1:35 scale .

but my point is that there has been a slew of companies that have been putting out 1:43 scale vehicles , especially for WWII , like the FRENCH halftracks and british scout cars , etc ..... and are easily found on ebay if you search for 1:43 in diecast diecast

While the 1:48 scales are closer to their size use, GW made their 28-32mm figures with some 1:35 scale features,, and some vehicles have weapons listed as on size, Heavy Bolter as 37mm, but to 1:35 scale, the barrels match 105mm cannons on the tanks, and it gets silly from there. smaller early war 1:35 scale vehicles like armor cars, half tracks and tanks still translate to normal 40k sized machines, Tiger Tanks can be the base for a super heavy, or Ork Battlewagons.

The Dreamforge vehicles are pretty big, and set for the use by the Eisenkern soldier miniatures, but they also can fit WH40K as the Odin is a more reasonable scaled battle-cannon, and the Loki a more reasonably scaled Vanquisher gun. The quad HMGs on the basic could be a more mobile Sabre machine gun platform so paired twinlinked Heavy Stubbers as it were, making 6 x re-rollable shots.

But yes, I am thinking most of our community can see that GW has a weird concept of scale.

Vik! You have been out of action a while buddy! Glad to see you back about.

I have been busy! so to speak.

And thank you!

Happy birthday Shas!

Really snazzy camo scheme on that afv, does the kit come with crew as well? Because that howitzer is itching to have a gun crew.

Driver and gunner are already painted and sitting at their stations, plus 2 more for the Gun I have them partly done.

Happy Birthday old fart.

You know your camo is almost to good, really struggle to see the shape of that last one, camo blends it brilliantly.

Wow, that's a pretty cool camo pattern - works nicely on that APC.
Will you give it a wash and highlight, or call it done?

Happy Belated B-Day Shaso .

Oh once I have them all finished, decaled and detailed, they will be washed over en-masse.

Thanks about the Camo pattern.

LOL! Thank you, and that is an interesting change to the APC making it carry a cannon not a squad.

Got to trying ordnance yellow band on the Thor Rockets. I have to redo the Field Gray to make the bands thinner, add red to the tips with metal caps.

Looking great bud, by the time you clean it up a little, it will be awesome. The look of those units on that wagon is just awe inspiring. Just looking at them you can hear the thump as they are launched.

Video footage has them screaming as they launch as well.!

supply drop for my self-gift late birthday arrival, Legs, arms, weapons, boxes to stow on the APCs. as I had a LOT of APC denizens, and soon some that can drive once I get the right machines. But for now the Kruegerian Republic has supplied the Union with more troops!
[/img]

Oh a leg! you're looking for a leg!
[/img]

Boxes
[/img]

Now the torsos and heads I have with their rifles can be set up as squads!

Hi all! I got to work yesterday and have assembled a full squad, (sadly they were out of the running and walking legs, so I went with a lot of the weapon team legs, so standing and kneeling squads are what I have, and here is the first squad, the Sgt is wearing the last of the Panzer-grenadiers masks/helmets (which were originally the DF Kriegsmarine drop trooper ones). Gives him an interesting look that provides protection, yet also lets you know he is in command with the one machine pistol and mag-occulars.

This squad is also armed with a Panzerfaust, suad support gun and a plasma AT rifle (also the last ones left. So here they are!

Yes, one of the lads practices gun-fu

How do you say "Action Jackson" in German Vik

Poses are great, Marc did such a great design with the figures, and your using them really well.

Happy belated birthday, Shas. Good haul.

Yes, and that is why we love Dreamforge, right?

Glad folks liked those poses despite the limited legs, oh had they still the other legs, but you do what you can!


Now I did have another squad, so they will again be 5 standing and 5 kneeling, just what to do for the poses? This sarge will wear a fatigue cap though. (Yes, I still have Non-com and officer heads left from the 1st command sprues I got, Knew I may need them for a day like this!

Miniature Market also recalled my B'day and I had a discount so I grabbed things I always wished I had, so I ordered, and this arrived

And for some cozy bedtime reading, I always like having alternate games just in case.

and


that main rule book will help me understand better the stats from the Red Blok army book It makes cross-compatibility easier if you know what they are supposed to do in their main rules, then I can cross-correlate their weapons/functions for the other rule I have

Like the at-45 models, and happy birthday.

even lined up the same level, they are taller than the Dreamforge troops, and those are pretty tall compared to 40k troops! Except for the female captain, the 6 man team came pre-painted of course.

Anyway, here are the latest finished squad of troopers from my odds and ends.
