Staghounds


One of the forces I started but have not getting round to finishing is a kiwi div cav force for Italy using Staghound armoured cars.  I just love the look of these beasts and have had a few (5) lying round that were either going to be for the LW Household Cav for Arnhem games or as the start of a Kiwi force- I've decided to go for the latter.

Last night I painted these up and hope to have another 6 (once they arrive) done in time for next Wednesday's game. The NZ Masters Games are on this weekend so I'm off down to Dunedin to watch the one day cricket Friday then three days of soccer and beers (probably more beers than soccer) at the Masters. So not much chance of doing any painting in the next few days.

  The force has no subtlety (at  least at 1200 pts for DoD) but should be fun. It also fits nicely into my Mech/Recon theme for 2012.

3x Staghounds (1x CS) 175

3x Damlier Dingos 105
3x Kiwi Shermans 450

Painting was a base of Vallejo Khaki, black spots and a Ogryn Fesh wash (I didn't want it too dark). Then a highlight of Grey-Green. The camo nets are simply BF foam from a blisterpack, superglued and drybrushed- an idea borrowed from Lintman- in future I might combine it with the tea leaves foliage method to see how that works out.



 And the Dingo patrol.

    Hopefully a PDF or something will make them useable in Latewar

    I guess the original FE is the only way to do it at present- or only use 3 as Lintman does.

    I have submitted one to BF last year to coincide with Cassino's release. Might have to poke Mike with a stick to see if he can get it looked at some time this year.
