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.

Extra hit/wound markers (will also be used for the desert Mahdist stuff)

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!


Passenger


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!

Warhammer Old World - Goblins vs Empire, Batlle of The Hilly Hill

"Oi, where's the rest of the army?" Stumpy Jason turned round to the musician Thumpy Jason. "We's only playing 1000 points!" "Oh right. But why are there more Empire 'ooomans than us then?" the Goblin Wolfrider capatin pondered. Mort and I met up for a game of Warhammer Old World. I chose my Goblins, with only 1000 points. This led to me taking a unit of spears, with the army standard, a unit of archers, a spear chucker and some wolf riders. A level 1 mage, my general on a giant squig and Stumpy Jason rounded out my selection. I was tooled up with magic standards and characters, so half my points were tied up in characters. Mort had two units of mounted pistolliers, a spear unit, two detachments , one of handgunners, one of halbardiers, and a small unit of knights. Two characters were embedded in his spears and one pistolliers, and a mage strode forwards with the halbardiers. My wolves and general went left, archers, spears, bolt chucker and...

Mortal Gods - Three Sided scrap - finding the treasure.

Typhon woke up, his head was banging, and there would definitely be a new scar on hi sarm... "Nice to see you can take a knock too!" Leandros looked over at the archer. Polykratos sat on a nearby boulder, helmet and shield at his feet, sword bloodied, he was smiling at his two fellow fighters. "Nice to see you two sleepy heads. By the way, we won! Spartans and Etruscans all sent packing, treasures secrured!" Dave, David and I met up for a game of Mortal Gods. Mark was meant to be joining us, but he had to call off. This is only a quick report, as we were haing too much of a laugh! Six objecties were scattered across the field, which you have to find and hold until the end of turn 5. One would go live on a roll of '6', if an action was expended on it. The others then are empty. Three sides means two corners and an edge. 450 points each. I was nearest, Dave the other corned, David the opposite edge.My standard warband took to the field, with their eyes firmly...
