10mm DAK Western Desert force

 I miss my never victorious DAK from Flames of War days, so with the release of the new Pendraken Panzer IIIs I thought it was time to rebuild in 10mm.

German platoon command stands for 'other' rules sets

Busy here!

Hope Y service are listening in!


What's on the map?

Styler and Kublewagon transports

Not sure a swimming car will help here...

 
Rommel - if you are going to have a level 10 CiC in BKCIV, might as well have a good one!

Since I have sorted the overspill onto his hat brim...  At wits' end Silly

Good grief!

Extra radio operator

 DAK nearly to a stage where I am happy to call them done (HQ/Spotters to do, plus when Panzer IIs come out, plus...)


HMG platoons


One facing the wrong way!


I sculpted the sandbags in a moment of boredom


They're not perfect, but they work from 3 feet away!



 
Panzer IIIJs





 
EXTERMINate... oops!


What's that over there?


Panzer IVDs






PAK38 stand




Transports

BMW sidecar combinations, another classic DAK image


Should they all have anti-tank rifles or are the MG34s??


Brum brum!


Hannomags






Portze Trucks




9 stands of DAK infantry with added MG34 and Anti-tank rifles


Top view to show anti-tank rifles.


Battalion assault?


Hmm.. FOCUS!


Back view


Mortars


They're in there somewhere!


Oh, there they are!


PAK36s


Two to a base was much better, one just got lost!


Come on then Tommy!

 

Three more panzers completed, a J and 2 F/G/H, two older tanks in emergancy smear, The J in the proper DAK camo colours.






Quite like the back view


Top view


And a ubiquitous Opel Blitz




What's it carrying? Maybe the Arc?

 

Two Sd.Kfz. 222 - nothing says recon quite like it!


Must be something out there!


Brumbrum...


Pootpoot!

 

Starting with...

Panzer IIIF - early in the desert campaign, camo was literally mud slapped onto field grey tanks, so weathering was an issue!


















Sd.Kfz. 231 8 rad - love these insane vehicles, had to buy more of these.








"What's over here!"


"Oh hellllooo!"

    Nice! That 8-Rad looks like an SDKFZ 234 rather than a 231 (the full length mud guards are the most visible give-away). Love the infantry and MG gunners with sand bags!

6mm Pony Wars commission for a friend.

Friend asked me to do his Pony Wars kit now that Baccus have taken it over.  Painted quite a lot of dismounted native foot too! Top view Singles Why is there a Squeeze song going through my head. Sneaking up on the cavalry Back view Heading out Pairs The Indians send signals from the rocks above the pass The cowboys take position in the bushes and the grass The squaw is with the corporal, she is tied against the tree She doesn't mind the language, it's the beating she don't need Threes She lets loose all the horses when the corporal is asleep And he wakes to find the fire's dead and arrows in his hats Or something like that Here we go Sixes Top view Left view Snipping or sniping 8s Lefts Backs Right Missed two bases of US cavalry Going that way Ready to go Scouting This is going to end badly for the cavalry   [img]https://i.imgur.com/k1iK9pV.jpg[/img] Mounted US troopers for Keith.

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain. I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them   Mimic from Bad Squiddo Gribbly Sushi? Catch of the day!   Another Grenadier 1984 from Brian's collection - possible Flesh Golem? Pants! Quick job, but fun   TT Combat Halfling adventuers, a barbarian, a fighter, a ranger (with squirrel), a mage, and a bard (with bagpipes) Rough bunch Distancing themselves from the Bard! Fireball!   Really random. Converted GW 1990s halfling on a Ral Patha sheep - a ram raider!

Legion Imperialis 8mm - Civitas ruins boxed set.

Terrain box (Civitas ruins) painted up Honestly took me longer to build it than it did to paint! But there may be a reason for that Someone needs a word with their structural surveyor! I mean, the build quality here is awful. At least the marines will have somewhere to hide It's about an A3 of ruined stuff It's been trashed Comes with a lot of scatter  The rest of the club was doing it, so I had to do it!  Looking through the various Legions from the Horus Herasy, I decided... Nope. Don't like them. Stick to what you know. 'Stick 'Em In The Eye - It's the Emperor's Pointy Sticks' So, seven years after I painted the 'Emperor's Pointy Sticks' in 6mm, GW have released Legion Imperialis in 8mm. Marine booster pack painted up, group photos! Mixed bag About 100 extra points on table!  "Did I miss the photoshoot?" *FACEPALM* These are the ones I've be...
