Hat Guy's SOTR Armies

[Hat Guy]

Did a big display/demo at Little Wars Melbourne on Sunday, borrowed minis from Benny and a couple of other clubmates to put this together:

  that's big Guy! Looks fun, any BatRep?

Under a year, so technically not Threadomancy!

SOTR is gaining traction again, so I'm getting the last few units done for each army. That way, I can start on new units as soon as I get the new edition!


Latverian Mortar Team. Proved themselves 100% accurate and 100% deadly so far.

[Constable Bertrand]

The mortar is very nice

Why is the commander wielding a cordless socket drill? 

Cheers

To mount the mortar tripod of course.

Finished last night, British Para Mortar Team:



Needed them finished for this Saturday as we're playing a massive "Bridge too Far 1949" game. Keep an eye out of the photos next week.

[General M@yhem]

Look forward to it.

[Hat Guy]

Think I managed to get everything done for tomorrow. Vampire will provide air support for my British.





1/48 Kit of unknown origin. Not very accurate paintjob motivated by lack of time and handy paints.

[Predatorpt]

Damn! I'm always seeing those 1/48 Vampires used in Weird War games, and after seeing yours painted like that, I really need to buy one  Great work.

That is one sexy airplane 
I got the good fortune to see one up close and see it fly at an airshow. Really cool plane.

[Hat Guy]

Thanks for the comments guys. The only problem is that the Vampire kind of locks me into building jets for my other factions as well... What a shame. 

[Predatorpt]

I went for a F-80 Shooting star for my Americans and this one for my Germans:



It's weird enough for my tastes and not the usual Me-262. What jets are you planning on using? 

[FATROC]

I have a Horten Ho229A-1 in 1/48. A Gloster Meteor F-1, and a F-80 Shooting Star. There are some other 1/48 period jets I'd like to get. The Huckbien and Lippisch P13a (rare and expensive). A He 162A-2 Salamander and a Vampire Mk1. I know it isn't a jet, but I'm also thinking of getting an AD-6 Sky Raider for ground support. It would look awesome painted in dark blue flying over some weird war Marines!
