FOW King Tigers Painted!

Painted up three King Tigers from Battlefront (FOW) about two weeks ago.

Though only 1500 King Tigers were manufactured, they caused awe when they appear on the battlefield.

Opted for the ambush camouflage scheme though Tamiya Desert Yellow is tad too bright.

For those history buff, you can read up here.

Red Bear Goes to War! May Day Battle Report

I was supposed to post this on 01 May 2012 (May Day) but alas work commitment had swarmed on me. So much for Labor Day : (

But yes, had my opportunity to try out my Udarny list in a Total War Scenario with Tim and aided by another Soviet player, Melvin. Tim ended up playing the whole 3500pts of Germans while Melvin and myself played 1750pts each.

Panther platoon from PSC

Yup assembled and painted in 72 hours!! The PSC Panthers are quite easy to be assembled and its parts nicely moulded. My only grouse is the track parts had gaps which a small amount of epoxy putty solve this issue. But nonetheless the modular parts allows me to spray and paint separately the tracks and main chassis / turret.

Inspiration - Panzers

A YouTube video to inspire anybody to play Panzers! Ok...you need to paint them as well!!

Panthers, O Panthers, Thou have arrived!

Well at least they arrived at my local gaming store PI. After my recent experience with PSC, I'm quite delighted to handle these babies!

With each box having 5 Panthers at such a good price (its 17.50 GBP per box as per PSC website) you can have a good LW Panzerkompanie in FOW by buying 2 boxes of them.

A feared tank on FOW board since they wield that goody 75L/70 gun that can pierce most Allied tanks and able withstand most frontal AT shots in return!

The cons?

Expensive comparable to most medium tanks and watch out for flanking shots. Oh...never try to assault bazooka toting infantry since all shots will be on its thin Side armor.

Time to try some Panther tactics!

Marder IIIMs or Martin in English

I'm never fond for lightly armored AT tanks but it's cheaper than the Stugs. I'm going to try them out in some practices leading to my FOW tournament.

Painted up 2 of them and touched up another 2 which my brother bartered with me for mortar section.
They are good in ambush or concealed terrain.

Here's a link about their development.
