Yeah, I think you'd like these, Steve. Lots of choices, not many rules.

As far as Iron Cross goes though, expansions that were promised seem not to have materialised; the rules landed with quite a big splash - and then appear to have sunk more or less without trace; there's very little in the way of supporting information and examples on the rules website; and even the publisher seems to have lost interest and stopped answering rules questions on their own forum dedicated to the rules...
The support on the website is ok, some new stuff and Great Escape has an own Forum. IC didn't run as good as Dead Mans Hand and the other stuff. But with the long lost third Perry Twin Richard in the backhand it will restart again, I think  :D

As it happens I didn't have you down as the needy 21st wargamer. It does make me giggle though when folk complain that X ruleset isn't 'supported'. Makes you wonder how some folk manage to work a kettle in the morning.

lol
Don't get me started!

Will be available from Perry Miniatures very soon. Alongside a number of other Allied vehicles and guns. There are photos on the Perry's Facebook site.

I must be looking at a different Perry Miniatures page on fb to you because I can't see a thing. Is there a link please?

Don't know about new Perry vehicles, but I've just painted and added the crew to this one...  :D

The Dingo was painted by Brent, AKA Queeg. I've now added the commander, driver and a Bren gun. Lovely figure the commander. Lots of character. The driver's a bit rudimentary, but you can't really see much of him, so...

Here's the NCO on an acrylic base for ease of painting...



And here he is in position...

Very nice little beastie - and the commander actually reminds me of a lecturer in IT I know.  :D
I just love the touch of colour achieved by the roundel.

I will  kindly remind you that the LPL is on and in order not too be revealed as a painting robot from outer space you should cool down your activities.

Amazing painting, setting and so on... I'm honestly tempted. Even if I just painted I don't know how many 15 mm British desert soldiers.

Wonderful, again, Captain Blood. I think you will do the Italians in the LPL, right?

To be clear, I didn't paint the vehicle - this was part of a batch of 11 vehicles done for me by Queeg. See page 32 of this thread.

All I've done here is painted and added the crew.

That said, the decals are from Warlord - they do a 7th Armoured Division sheet and a British tank numbers sheet. And many other sheets besides  :)

Wonderful, again, Captain Blood. I think you will do the Italians in the LPL, right?

lol
Sorry, just don't find the Italians appealing :)
(Now if the Perrys produced a set of plastic WW2 Italians, that might be different... )
