My 1941 Russian armour. I use a 1:1 ratio, so each tank represents - a tank.   

On the left a company of BT7's. On the right a couple of recce units BA64s and T60s, and in the middle a mixed company of T28s and T35s. Yes, there should be another T35, but it broke down on the way to the start point.  :(

I also seem to have an extra BT7. This means either a) I made 2 mistakes in ordering or b) non-Pendraken items morph into Pendraken ones if left unattended. Obviously b) is the correct solution. I may just use the extra BT as a command unit.

This is my first experiment in basing vehicles, and using static grass. Individual tanks are identified on the rear of the base using a series of coloured dots (e.g. 2 blue dots are 2nd tank of 3rd platoon.)

Still to go the AT, artillery and the infantry.

very impressive Mr Nobbs

I like the aged look you have acheived
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Now I know why. You've been working hard! Good stuff, Nobby.  :-bd
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Those are BA10's. i'm sure you know that and it was just a typo  ;)

Great job on the painting!

I love tanks representing ermmm... tanks  :D

We're both wrong. They're BA6s. (SV67).   ;)

I've got some BA10s on order.

You're right, didn't take a close enough look at the turret!

Lovely - whose T35 are they?
I don't like to talk about it. I fell so unclean.  :'( :'( :'(  Minifigs.

I'm torn. I still can't get my head around tufts of grass chasing tanks around a battlefield.  :(

Think of them as a snapshot in time as the unit pauses.

Looks good, end of discussion ;)
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Could pretend they are Nebelwoofers in camouflage?
