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.

DAK observers


Ready for action


"I spy with my little eye..."


Plenty of kit


Like the officer with the binos


Various AA guns for DAK forces


And this was the last thing the recon flight saw...


Half track for the armour, rest to be shared out


Dakkadakka for DAK

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

German platoon command stands for 'other' rules sets


Back view



 
Two company commanders for Western Desert DAK forces

Together

Back view


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!"

  1. 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!

Black Powder 1870 Stats and Modifications

1870 Franco-Prussian Conflict in Black Powder Hi all, If you are reading this, it's because. like us, you are Black Powder fans and want to know how we manage the Franco-Prussian War. Anything below is by no way official, just the house rules we have developed over the last few years of playing. A few thoughts first: Fighting in the period is best described as hard fought assaults by Prussians, supported by superior artillery against superior but very strong defensive French lines. All ranges and movements are in cm scale, just to be awkward! All my forces are modelled on 3” square bases, apart from divisional commanders, skirmishers and artillery which have a frontage of 1½” and Corp commanders who are on a 2” base. Feel free to ignore that. My units are regiments of infantry,   brigades of cavalry and skirmish squadrons of cav. Artillery is either battalion as one gun, or a battery of two guns on a base, horse artillery have limbers attached. Army composition...

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   Here comes the couragous WWI fighter ace in his Sopwith Camel. Hunting The Red Baron on the Dawn Patrol. Bit bigger than 25mm scale, but he will provide top cover for my Kindred WWI stuff. Yes, you have seen the flight stand before on my epic stuff. He's going so fast, the camera can't focus! "Curse you Red Baron!"   Two more Highlanders from the 80s, thanks to Brian up the road. Armed with two bottles or a sword, who is harder? More plaid Well hard! Top view   A chaos warrior It was free, and I've given it to a mate who runs a chaos armym=, hence th elack of basing as he will do it to his own style. Big chopp...
