Anti-tank? Yes please!

I just finished painting my British 6pdr anti-tank gun.  I also wrapped up my PaK40 the other day and now both my British and German armies have anti-tank gun teams added to them.  I haven't done any camo on the PaK40 yet ... I may do it ... I may not ... going to wait and see.

Before we get to the pictures ... how about a quote from Kelly's Heroes (after Cowboy drives into the barn at the beginning and crashes into a support column):

Corporal> "God dammit Cowboy!"

Cowboy> "I don't know what shit you talk'in bout boy; there aint three tanks out there, there's about 20 of them - aint that right Willard!"

Man I love that movie!  Pictures below of the gun teams.

Ready for action!

I'm looking forward to using these soon in a game of Bolt Action!

  2. Hi Jay,

    great work!
    Both ATG look great and the trapeziform bases are a good and practical way to save space.

    Cheers

    1. Thanks Monty! I went between using a more practical base or using a larger base and making it a little more like a mini-diorama .. but in the end I think functional is more important :-)

    1. Indeed ... the only way I get off my butt and do anything is either by playing games (inspiring in themselves) or seeing other people getting stuff done.

    1. Thank you sir .... although if you were in a tank I don't think you'd say that ;-)
