Good to see! Cant wait to see some more videos of games being played!
I’m thinking I’d like to build a LRDG/SAS unit, really like the kitted out vehicles. I’d definately add some looted German kit to them as well.
My Warlord LRDG vehicles. Very good, and they have many types for different loads of kit / truck and jeep types.
nice looking minis
Forward!
Is someone playing SAS?
@rot6 – Just my pre-built LRDG / SAS force. Didn’t get into action, I’m sad to say. But no worries! Now I have DAK forces to build and paint they can go up against!
Too many people have too much built and painted for just 24 hours work.
it’s madness isn’t it? Thankfully I helped pull the average down 😉
Did you get anything done or were you having too much fun interviewing people?
no painting, but I got my army built. Home now and doing some more clean up work on the minis so I can paint them
Makes me think I should do something about my unpainted mountain of plastic…. 🙂
Great work folks – looks like you’re having a great time. Enjoy.
nice models, really great work
the war will start soon
Fwoar. More pics of that LRDG truck, please!
Thanks, @somegeezer – here is the project thread for them:
https://www.beastsofwar.com/project/1257172/
We also talk about them briefly in the XLBS episode this week.
Looking good they are, too.
Some cracking images here
Ah, is that oriskany´s LRDG? ´t would be nice to see them in a game. Blowing up German Heinkels and Junkers like in the documentary I watched on telly.
Yep, that’s the same. 😀
https://www.beastsofwar.com/project/1257172/
Looks like trouble for the Germans with the LRDG on the prowl.
Bwahaha! 😀
Gerry ! I miss you Buddy !
hope you’re keeping well and we’ll see you soon for a drink at a bootcamp matey 🙂
That’s an awfully nice truck for the LRDG (SAS?) – someone BYO’d I take it?
yes, Oriskany brought his as he wouldn’t have time to build, paint and run the campaign
Thanks @georgesealy and @avernos – Yep, those are my small 16-man LRDG/SAS force, with two 3-man 30cwt Chevrolet trucks.
https://www.beastsofwar.com/project/1257172/
Now fight!
Awesome seeing do many playing!
So many models already painted up ready to go, great stuff!
Seems well underway!
Love the models
Warm up the dice!
Good to see the Long Range Desert Group in the action
Gaming at last, looks like every one is having a great time. Where did the SAS spring from, and lovely painted minis.
Top picture…North is that way Tommy.
Thanks, @carabus and @doomzombie. – the full project thread is here. These minis actually had a rough start, but thanks to encouragement and advice from the community – managed to save them.

That looks so cool.
