Imperial Guard Valkyrie

Throwback Thursday

Like most wargammers, I started off with the gateway drug that is Warhammer 40K.  Here's an Imperial Guard Valkyrie I painted up.  This was one of my first times using an airbrush.

I magnetized the weapon options.

Cockpit details.  Bonus points if you recognize those helmets.

I added some a nose-art decal.  It was more translucent than I expected.

I painted the interior and magnitized the rear ramp.

I eventually sold this off.  I wonder where it is now?  Let me know if there's a sighting.

West German Infantry and LARS Battery

Another group of reinforcements for my Team Yankee West Germans.

I may have finally cracked the code on a subtle snow effect on these Marders...

LW Germans (Winter) Part II

Throwback Thursday

Everyone loves big tanks.  I added some heavy armor to my German collection so I could run a heavy tank list.

went with a slightly different camo patter on these to mix it up a bit.

A pair of whirblewinds give me some more options.

Volkssturm

Panzerrenadiers

On these and the whirblewinds I left them plain dunkelgelb under the winter camo.

These AA guns were made to be interchangeable with future 2cm guns as well.

I magnetized the AA guns to make them fully traversable.

I added another recon unit.  These would give me recon options in more lists.  In particular, I was interested in running 3x patrols with the PaK40-armed 234.  I acquired them, but never got around to painting them yet.  

I was please that Battlefront included both turrents in the kit.  A little less please they release a plastic box set just after I finished these.

Here's the list I used in that years tournament season.  It did pretty well.
