From AlanD - Whata Loada Tankas! (118 Points)

Fantastic to spend some time with about 10% of the AHPC crew in Canberra this weekend at CanCon. I fear it is likely Barks might put up some visual evidence of our meetup. [Too late! Barks]

This week I cleared some more 15mm WWII, destined for Battlegroup Fall of the Reich and Tobruk games.

Project Berlin continues with a couple of Battlefront ISU 122s. Blimey they are beasts!








On the other end of the visually imposing scale is a German RSO tractor with PaK 40 from PSC. I don't fancy their chances, so I painted a loader team for the gun in the hope they get an extra shot off before the inevitable.





From Berlin it's back to the desert, and a bunch of M3 Honeys. The ones with cast-on bases are Forged in Battle, the others are from Battlefront. One of the Battlefront tanks had a bit of a mishap in assembly, so I turned it into a knocked out objective marker.







12 vehicles, 7 figures and 8 half figures should total 118 points please!

Great to see you again at CanCon, Dux! A prodigious output again this week. Those Big Cat Killers look menacing, and I love your photography in the ruins of Berlin. Good luck to the RSO crew... I like the tracks in the rubble. Have a stingy few bonus points for the handpainted slogans and camo on the soldiers and tanks, to bring it to 120.

  1. Great stuff Alan! Those Soviet assault guns are real beasts...no doubt they will have a great time engaging targets at total point-blank range...

  4. Very nice mate! Those M3s will make a great shooting gallery for my Panzer IV Specials from last week, and what I am submitting later this week... :-)

  9. Great bunch of tanks (not sure what the collective noun is here) plus sacrificail offerings with the PAK mounted on a tractor!

    There is indeed visual evidence of the CanCon meet up. On the plus side we were spared the sight of Millsy's camo short, on the down side Kaptain Kobold wasn't there to raise the sartorial standard like last year.
