Nik

How did you make the walkers? I reckon add a couple of them to my new Ww2 Brit force and I've got ww2.5 for SOTR

Cheers

More details in the on-table thread here: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,5362.0.html - the walkers are SF9 with some Italian M15/42 turrets I had knocking around...so for Brits you could bang on some Crusader turrets or something?
