Thank you!  :)


But the anti-armor guy with the panzerfausts and shield is my favorite.
I'm sure he feels totally safe hiding behind it while engaging his target.  ;D


They don't call it "shield" for nothing  :D

Now, our brave and cunning leaders:warlord and a witchdoctor.

Better call it Hotgrave  :D

Well, witchdoctors are rather common characters in many settings...

The guy on the left is my absolute favourite!

Great PA figure as well!
Yearly painting challenges only show me how useless I am at painting...

Simply fantastic stuff mate. Keep it up, I can't wait to see more... maybe even a cheeky vehicle or 2?  :)

That is very nice.

You might want to add a splash plate across the glacis (I assume it is there to stop water splashing up into the driver's hatch). It is a very popular post war addition.

The skirts look good.

You might want to add a heavy machine gun, either an M2 or a Dshk depending on your backstory. Yugoslav T34s provide some examples.

There are photographs of some UK museum examples here:

Excellent figures,reminds me of a documentary I watched once of African tribesmen with AK,s that were involved in cattle raiding with neighbouring tribes.
