Anvil Industries Ogre Infantry Walker

 Anvil Industries recently released their Ogre Infantry Walker in 28mm scale.

Initially with two weapon options: three barrelled auto cannon and a Gauss weapon.

M48A3 continued

 So here is the story so far.

The M48A3 has gained a mascot, a TTCombat teddy bear. It has also had some additional armour in the form of track attached to the turret.

It has also gained a bandoleer of water bottles hung on one of the aerial posts (and the three aerials). Note also the deflector for the cupola machine gun to prevent it hitting the searchlight (the teddy bear has no such protection).





Note where I have badly replaced the left rear mudguard, this will be tidied with some Milliput.










Now to add some additional stowage on the engine deck and tidy up the jerry cans.

Final crewman figure

 So, one of the crew for my Five Parsecs from Home has a religious background, and ended up receiving a shotgun from the weapons rolls.

Originally I was going to use one of the Frostgrave Wizards bodies, but decided that one of the female Wizards II bodies would make a good base. The arms are from the Stargrave Crew II set.

I wanted something different for the head, and noticed that the Great Escape Games Gunfighters II figures had compatible heads.

She is checking the skies for opposing force drones or snipers  on a vantage point.



Pistol armed Cannon Fodder

 Another figure for Stargrave/Five Parsecs from Home.

This figure uses the arms from the Wargames Atlantic upgrade sprue and a Stargrave Crew head on a Cannon Fodder body.


This is a very dynamic pose.

Empress FT tank scale comparison

 I built one of the Empress FT tanks back in 2017 (and a Carden Loyd Carrier). The tank is not currently on the Empress site. I think it is 1/55 scale.

Though there is a scale photograph with the unfinished mode, there is not one of the finished model.

It is a really diminutive tank (and the garden Loyd is even smaller).

Mark Copplestone (I am surprised I have so few models tagged as sculpted by him) has been working on a range of Neo-Retro Wargaming and Pseudo-Nostalgia figures scaled at about 30mm.

They are fictional InterWar period figures with a distinct "toy soldier" look to them.


Here is a scale photograph of a 30mm lipped base propped up against the FT tank.

Oathmark Dwarf Heavy Infantry

 The third Dwarf box set for Oathmark builds Dwarf Heavy Infantry in the form of Dwarf Warriors and Dwaf Linebreakers.



The box contains six identical sprues, each of which can build five figures.
The sprue can build five Warriors in heavy armour with hand weapons and shields, or five Linebreakers armed with two handed weapons.
Four of the five Dwarfs plus an orc interloper.
I should have paid a bit more attention, these were supposed to be all Dwarfs.
Oathmark Goblin and Dwarf.
The obligatory William Killian comparison.
This is the missing Dwarf.
