I'm working on lists for this (and the Germans) using BKC / CWC / FWC :)

Mmmmm, these I really like...
Are these all Pendraken minis?? I have to admit I've never looked at the sci fi catalogue pages... :-[
Yep - they certainly are all Pendraken :)
Basically (and with the Germans) I've mixed up some of the sci-fi hulls & turrets with German & US AFVs and then used 'normal' WW2 codes where I think the actual things look outlandish enough anyway :D
So - you've got 'normal' M10s & Tetrarchs here, the M5 tractor without its roof as the transport & then the 'weird' armour is sci-fi walkers with US turrets & M10 hulls with sci-fi turrets...troops are the sci-fi Troopers (I love these figures). Oh - and sci-fi security robots on the command stands 8)
I can post the codes I used if you like?
Heckity feck!, now you've got me thinking I "need" some 2.5 Japanese - those walkers would look mighty with some Japanese armour camo & flags, or even a "who-needs-fecking-camo-we're-so-hard" red and white colour scheme.
Father's day is just around the corner - hmmmmm....!!
I shall muse further on this project after completed today's chores (replacing the heating element on my Bio-Diesel processor and a few other bits...)

That'd look great...go on, you know you want to ;) ;D
Blimey mate, you and Chris are not helping me in deciding how to spend my cash from the recent table top sale :'( :'( :'(. I'm trying to focus on Maurice and WMA forces, but then you both throw Vietnam and WW2.5 into the mix!!! I just need to go and lie down in a quiet darkened room for a bit to try not to think of this ;).
REally nice Nik!
Nik - you is confusing me - those hulls are M-18, and you are saying M-10. They have torsion bar suspension - not VVSS as on M10/M36.
Vrey nice btw.
IanS
These are excellent. I always like seeing new things done with our stuff, and it's surprising how well the Sci-Fi and WWII hulls/turrets have blended together.

Ah, well done, all in the signature Harwood style. Though I have no idea what those giant hair-dryers have to do with anything :P
Cheers,
Aart

Yep - my mistake, these are M18s :-[
Nik - you should be old enough to remember this un
GET IT RIGHT

Yeah, maybe - but sometimes we Southerners like to let you think we're human after all ;) ;D
Nice work Nik, it all jells together as a great unit.
Two questions if I may, whack walker did you use and which sic-fI tank did you take use the turrets from?
Not that I'd dream of 'borrowing' your ideas ;)
Cheers,
Kev
Thanks Kev
The walker is SF9 but I've bunged on a different turret - from Brit tank [?] I think - from the spares box..
The sci-fi turrets on the M18s are from one of the Hovertanks - I *think* SF7 [if not, it's SF8!]...but Leon can confirm? :)
Not saying it is but he turrets on the Walkers look like an M13/40.....
IanS ;)

I don't think they are...I think they're Crusader II or III...
Crusader they aint - they would be angular, III with flat, II with rounded face, single hatch, and stowage box on rear. Could be from the Panhard A/C but still think M13/40.
IanS
Ah - found 'em in my own battlegroup - you were close - they're M15/42 - here:

:)
Very cool!
I need to bust out the FWC stuff again.
Yep - it's also about time I finalised my stats for these & got them into combat...I dunno where the time goes :(
Great stuff Nik !
Missed this lot earlier. :-[
Cheers - Phil.
Hi Nik
did you get around to sorting out the stats lists for WW2.5? - I've checked on SMP site under FWC - army lists but can't find them there.
This is the most amazing forum - I decided to trawl through all postings on all subjects - its taken me ages but I am now keen on several more periods as a result!
When you also look at all of the catalogue it is truly awesome how much Pendraken produce and how much can be used as cross-over too.

Nope - not yet I'm afraid...Real Life keeps getting in the way - although I'll try & get something done in the next few days now that I've thought about this again :)

Yep - exceptionally great resource this little part of the wargaming world...it's where the Cool Kids hang out :-B <:-P :D
Dagnabbit, Mr Harwood... >:(
You really have to stop inspiring us all like this...
Marvellous stuff sir as usual and i love the idea of combining the sci-fi and WWII ranges for WWWII. Add in some fantasy stuff (German V-gas zombies, werewolves, etc.) and you're covering all the bases...
*Mustn't be tempted, mustn't be tempted, mustn't be tempted* X_X ~X( X_X
:D Thank you, kind sir :)
I've got the German Nazi zombie horde - must admit that I'd forgotten about the werewolves...hmm... :d
And of course you need some Nazi vampires as well Nik.

And then it's only a small step to the 'Dungeon mistress in Nazi uniform with riding crop' type figure. Should be right up your alley, Nik? :D
