Today I bring you the fifth platoon for Colours 2013 painting challenge. I choose to do the Towed Tank Destroyers to get one of the two remaining large platoons out of the way (the other being the second infantry platoon).
I'm hoping this platoon will be one of the start units of my army. With four 3" Guns and four bazookas this platoon has a large template and should be able to hold off most assault from armoured platoons.
When I started this platoon I was worried it was going to take a long time, but as I started painting them I was surprised how quick the platoon was to paint. I pretty happy with the results, I'm now looking forward to getting them on the gaming table.

Solid output Ben!
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteOnly three jeeps though?
Smashing result sir!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys
ReplyDelete@ Mr T. - You only get 3 jeeps in the security section. I have 4 more on the painting table that are almost finished for the Jeep Recon. I would have more jeeps as I love the look of them but it is a struggle with the points.
Ben
But don't the jeeps tow the guns?
ReplyDeleteNo Half tracks do, but thats an extra 20pts I can't fit in right now.

Really great looking unit. I love how the basing really compliments the color of the American uniforms.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I try to spend a bit of time thinking about the bases as I feel it's the most important part of the painting and modeling process.
