From MilesR: FOW FJ Pak40's and an Elephant (60 points) For Monday

 All I got completed this weekend are some odds 'n ends for the 15mm FOW armies.  Specifically a Pak40 Fallschirmjager AT unit and an Elephant.  All of the mini's are metals and resin from Battlefront.


 I managed to start and finish these guys this morning.  The PAK 40 is a good all around AT asset in the game.
 The giant Elephant isn't really points effective but it's big, mean and a whole lot of fun to play with.

I haven't played a lot of Flames of War lately but am getting excited about the game again with the impending publication of the Pacific books.
This submission consists of 19 crewman/command figures (38pts), 4 guns (16 pts) and a single vehicle (6 pts) and yields me a grand total of 60 pointeroonies.

I haven't been totally lazy as I've finished the L'amour challenge and made good progress on the Nautical project.

Sadly, work is getting in the way for the next two weeks with a business trip to Europe next week and then my firms annual meeting in the Turks the following one.  British Airways still refuses to let me paint in long flights - very disappointing.



Well Miles 60 "pointeroonies" (were you in Joisey recently?) may be a slow week for you but it's a good week for me!  That's a hefty amount of anti-tank hardware you've got going there.  You seem to be pachyderm obsessed these days given your choice of armour.    Nice work on the vehicle camo and the basing for the gun teams.  As for the Heffalump AFV, if it's about the points cost you're doing it all wrong!

Good luck in your travels!

  3. Enjoy the Turks, I assume it will be nicer than NE England in February. Nice looking figs, the AT guns look especially deadly

    1. If you like sun and sand it might be a little nicer, but just a very little bit

  4. Very nice work Miles! :)

    I really pity you. I mean what sort of heartless company would drag you to the Turks and Caicos every year? ;)

  8. I love that PAK 40 and plan on getting one. Have you seen the PAK 40 crew Perry makes? Such elegant sculpts and would make for a great dio. I'm not ready for something that big yet, but one day.

    Wonderful job on these and that tank is the business.

    Wishing you safe journey's!
