Team Yankee V2 you say….

Getting back to get some traction on the wargaming front!

Here are 3 of the 6 black and white T 64 from nearly two years ago 😉

I know it makes months! but I heard your cries @panzerkaput @sundancer

I finally resumed working on my miniatures now that I feel like doing it again, it has been very hard for me since start of November on the private side.

But now I been putting stuff together and started to browse my army books and dream again!

Without further due here are the pictures

Tadadada…. tadadada…

there we go, a couple of pictures of the whole shazzam!

Quite happy to have them all done, I would say that yeah I did do 3 more tanks than planned, and 2 more Cobras, and 2 wonderfully minigun carrying M113s… but here is the Yankee Familee

A snake, a snake
Snaaake! A snaaaake
Oooh, it’s a snake

Nope it’s 4 of them 😀

And here they are, the 4th tanks for my 3 platoons, which will make the Abrams company complete with its 14 tanks. No I didn’t need it in my 100 points army list…. but I felt like I should none the less.

Just means that next time I’ll go “I need more Abrams for team Yankee” it’ll just mean a new company 😉

Now now…. what will be next

But oh well…. Those two M163 were looking at me all lost and lonely on the shelve, so instead to just put them back in the transport case I decided to paint them. Also I kinda didn’t have one paint for the Cobras…. so well I had to make do. That’ll do more options for my Team Yankee US Army

There we go, the last part of the US army list. 5 more Abrams! HQ Included. painted exactly the same way as the previous but without due here are the pictures.

Hello Lads and Ladettes!

Here are finally some M1 Abrams, some were put together during the BOW TY Bootcamp, god that makes a few years ago… anyway here they are!
