Picked up another Stuart ‘Honey’ in the weekend, along with a generic stowage pack. I was after the British stowage pack but apparently it hasn’t been released yet. Ah well, NZ and British soldiers scavanged ‘jerry cans’ during the war anyway because the British petrol tins were inferior in the desert. The re-modelled Honeys are rather nice. I’m focussing on FOW vehicles at the moment as I’m still struggling to come up with a decent desert basing scheme. Might try to sneak down to Historic Games in Newmarket on a Thursday night and get some advice.

The Black Coach Griff and Emily gave me last year is assembled. In turn I gave Griff a Trebuchet for his Brettonian forces – which will probably be used to smash the coach on the field of battle!
I took a few liberties with the coach as I didn’t like some of the detailing. I clipped off the static brazier flames and replaced them with plastic Chaos Space Marine top-knots for a more dynamic look. I didn’t bother installing the wierd ‘torso antennae’ on the roof because I thought it looked stupid. Instead I pinned on some Chaos Rhino trophy spikes which matches the Black Coach artwork in the Vampire Counts Army book. The whole Coach is pinned so it can be taken apart for painting but played on the table in the interim. I should at least prime it though.
Also reviewed the Lahmian Vampire and her Giant Spider ‘Nightmare’ mount. Repositioned and re-pinned the weaker legs to squeeze it onto two cavalry bases. These are also the three Black Knights I’ve assembled to date.
