Afrika Korps finished

One month later I have my 800 points for tournament done that I went to yesterday. I actually have 200 points left over as well for another squad, mortar and anti-tank rifle. I came second and was one hungarian mortar crewman away from winning the tournament. Curses. My Afrikakorps are based on the 15th Panzer division.

 I build a lightbox to take pictures finally and they're looking pretty good in the following pictures. These photos were taken with a Samsung S5.

DAK Army 15th Panzer Division 800 points

We're running an 800 point Tournament on the 75th anniversary of the 1st Battle of El Alamein. So I've decided to collect a themed force of 15th Panzer division DAK. I've got a Kubelwagaon, some Kradshutzen and a Truck to add to this force and I think it will not be as effective but nicely themed. I can always fall back on my Russians for ultra competitive play. I've also got extra enthusiasm as I'm particpating in Bolt action Facebook group competition to pledge to paint something in the Month of June.

We Bare Bears of Konflict '47

My Soviet Ursus Infantry as inspired by Cartoon Network's We Bare Bears. At 22 pts each these are a steal, only need 3 more for an effective squad. I've played them once and they can tear apart Nacht Jager but run at the first sight of flames.

We so cute, we so cuddly.



In Soviet Russia, We Bare Bears rip you to shreds.



Grizz, the leader of the pack.



Panpan, in touch with his feelings.

Ice Bear will rip your face off.

All right back to my place vor beer and Vodka, Comrades!

The Bull Mammoth

I bought my first K47 Russian Mammoth this week and was kind of disappointed looking at it and thinking this would be so much more awesome if it had 6 legs. I present to you the Bull Mammoth (Бычий мамонт). Thanks to Warlord Games for providing the extra legs free to complete my conversion for this Tank walker. I'm contemplating putting an even bigger gun on top because of the increased stability. This thing is even more unstoppable because if it loses 2 legs it can still walk across the battlefield. I'm think maybe a T54 with legs might be the next Medium walker I could attempt.

K47 and Bolt Action Soviets Work In Progress

This is what I'm mostly playing at the moment. Bolt action and K'47 with my Russkies.
