I initially struggled to come up with an idea for the Treachery circle. The few I thought of involved way to much time making and painting things I would never use. Although I enjoy the distraction of these side challenges, I did join the challenge with the intent of painting some useful things!
Then I decided the description of the 'back stabber, the turncoat, the faithless friend' could apply to a once cherished piece of military hardware that had been captured and pressed into service by the other side.
A hunt through the spares drawers and I found the below. A ww2 Dutch pantserwagen M38 armoured car.
I had already painted up three of these beauties complete with orange triangles, when I picked up an unfinished army that included this one. This made this one a spare, so it has been languishing ever since.
So, an hour or so with a paint brush, this afternoon, some decals and a base and here we are. I'm sure it can be pressed into service at some point.

Although it breaks my heart to see one of the few Dutch armoured vehicles being taken over by the oppressor, I cannot fault your logic, Adam. Nice to see one more of these fairly rare vehicles, and a good choice for the theme. 28 points more!

Nice . A little tank is always great to see
ReplyDeleteAdam I like your thinking and these armoured cars of the thirties have fuelled my interest WW2 again. Excellent idea and execution.
