My Weird War

[matakishi]

Lots of this to come in 2008 but for now here's a sneak peek at Donner und Blitzen, two Nazi super soldiers who destroy allies armour with their super heated steel fists.



And, for the allies... well, special kudos to the first person who correctly identifies these chaps

It's The Haunted Tank from DC comics!

I used to love that when I was a kid!  


Really like the bad guys too. Very well painted.

[matakishi]

Well done Jolly Bob!

If DC gets a look in will we see any British comic characters? Ipsissimus, the Spectral Hand, Charley Bourne, D-Day Dawson, The Sarge, Sergeant Without Stripes, Rat Pack, Bullitt, Major Eazy, Darkies Mob? Great to see the Haunted Tank anyways and as ever your stuff looks lovely.  :love:

[matakishi]

I never read British comics except 2000AD so I haven't heard of any of those characters  

I'd like to find a Robot Archie though  

[Weird WWII]

That was easy.  Should make a M4 one too as they eventually got issued one later on.  Kinda weird when they got a SHERMAN which was one of the most hated Union generals to the Southerners for his scorched Earth policy during the Civil War.  Guess they couldn't justify that 37mm killing Tigers and Panthers .

The crew was,
Stewart Tank CO
Asher/Gray Loader
Stryker/Craig Gunner
Rawlins Driver

I was more partial to Sgt. Rock and Easy Company myself.  I had a similar idea for those German guys but since you can't by them off a web site or in the US I never got around to it.  They look great and the 40mm size suits them perfect.  I can see one of those things ripping the turret off a T34 with no problem.

Good looking stuff,
Brian

Arrk!

Great characters all of them. Robot Archie is great. Did you ever read "Albion" by Alan Moore? (Which featured the return of Archie). Not a great comic but seeing all the old characters was nice.

[matakishi]

Never read Albion. I read Zenith though  

My Weird War stuff will be detailed here:

The units listed are already underway and will be finished soon.

You know what I love, Matakishi? You keep starting all these really fantastic projects, and then you dress them up loverly and put them up for the rest of us to see.

and you finish them
I have loads of half-bothered unfinished projects :cry:

[pixelgeek]

Finishes them and seems to stick to a single system he likes as those all appear to be based for Crossfire.

Speaking of which, how well does Crossfire handle things like Powered Armour and Walkers?

[matakishi]

As soon as I've worked out how to do it I'll let you know.
Basically they'll be treated as armoured vehicles. Sorting out things like Vampires and Elder Gods will be a bit trickier  

Oh, and I don't finish everything    Some 'great ideas' turn out not to be so great after all.

[twrchtrwyth]

Those are great!

[pixelgeek]

You finish more of them than I do :-)

I understand this all to well!!

I wish I had a mini for every half finished/realized project I've started.
