From SylvainR: Tray 03, Luchs and Jagdpanzer IVs (70 points)

 In this week's tray are some late war German tanks.

 


First, seven patrols of three Panzer II Luchs, with their company HQ. Only 100 were produced by the end of the war, so it's not a very common vehicle. I decided to go with the camouflage pattern found on the Luchs displayed at the Tank Museum in Bovington. With its overlapping wheels, the Luchs somehow looks like a baby Tiger 1 to me.



Next are three platoons of four Jagdpanzer IV.  I like the ominous shape of this tank, so low and so square. Because of their long gun sticking out at the front, I had to position the miniatures at the back of the base, otherwise the weapon would be bent every time I store these minis in their tray. There are variants in the lot: some have schützen and some are equipped with the short barrel 75mm gun.

Points claimed: 

35x 6mm vehicles at 2 points each = 70 points

Total = 70 points

 Thanks for reading! 

It's Tuesday morning so time for our weekly shot of mcro-armour from Sylvain.   You gone for the smaller and bigger ends of the scale this time around, but they are looking might fine.  I love that you've recreated nearly 1/4 of the entire production of the Luchs.  Everything's up top your regular fantastic standard mon ami.
