Tight box… BoW Warren strikes again. 🙂
These look awesome
This thing is a beast, and THE choice for the PAVN if u want to take armour.
It is cheap as hell, so u get many more then the free-world lists.
I may not use them for Vietnam but for Israeli-Arab conflict. On the FOW website (forum) there are some very good painted up examples of what u can do with this model, Just fantastic!
Lovely model. Really tempted to pick some up just as a hobby project.
Gotta love lots of tanks
warren opens them like it xmas very enthusiastically
They are some awesome looking tanks!
Great model, curieus about the stats
Naturally the models look great….The T-54 was not such a great tank…..The basic design of this vehicle actually interfered with crew functionability; Smaller than Western tanks making it less of a target; the trade-off being that the crew had to endure more than a Western tanker, adding to crew fatigue and a less effective crew…. The Soviets took a wrong turn after their excellent T-34 tanks…. that being said still a lethal opponent…..
Everyone seems to be collecting the Vietnam stuff, but is anyone actually playing?
Anyone else have Frank Klempaki’s Hellmach song play in their head as Warren looked over the idea of rolling in 33 tanks?
Make that Frank Klepaki*
Even more tanks? Looks rather like Cold War Gone Hot than Vietnam Out in the Jungle. 😀
(Oh well, I’m a sucker for tanks myself.)
Will you be looking at non-armor units as well? Not that I don’t love the tanks but a look at some of the other forces would be nice too.
@3min, the drive spockets are at the rear of the tank, the idler wheels are at the front. This is not the same on all tracked vehicles.
they look like some seriously bad ass tanks
I’d like to feel the weight of one of those resin / metal tanks. Good weight to them.
They look great
all time I see this game, in my mind start one song…

Maybe I’m going crazy…
I’ve had that tune (and video sequence) bobbing around in my head all week. I won’t say you’re not going crazy but you’re not alone …
Cant wait till tommorow, ill get the book in my hands
Neat stuff
OMG I’m turning into Warren !!!!! I want Ironclad and I want lots of it……
M.i.c.k.e.y. M.o.u.s.e.
I totally agree with Warren one bad-ass, awesome looking tank. One of my favorite tank-designs of all times. Still would prefer it in whole metal or plastic.
I can’t enjoy FoW without Dave. Warren and Dave are the perfect partners. Not enjoying this week sadly 🙁 not until Dave appears for a game with Warren.
can’t wait for more videos, the detail in the tanks is amazing!! Great job guys!
the tight box is actually good. The bigger the box the more expensive your wife/girlfriend thinks the thing is! 🙂
I adore T54’s and T55’s I would have these to build a warsaw pact soviet army and play a “what if the cold war went hot” in Europe. If there was ever a Tank I would love to own other than a Sherman it would be a 54/55 😀 Nice review gents
The arrows on the tracks are a nice touch.
I agree T 54s are just cool looking tanks…
Very nice Soviet made armour there
Nice minis.
I’m looking forward to using these and the rules for the Ironclad battalion with night vision and stabilizers as WARPAC T.55’s in a “what if” central european setting…
The T-54 is a very tank-looking tank, but for me, the Panzer IV G, H, and J will always be the most tank-looking tanks of all time. Just a personal preference.
Tanks that’s what’s in the box. Next question.
Nice tanks! Great week so far too!
I love Russian armor. Something so… tanky about it. There’s no other word for it.
i don’t know if you can use than but maybe tank riders for dealing withs heli
I am def leaning towards starting a PAVN force.
look like great little models
pretty awesome flames of war coverage
A bit of russian “tecnology”…
Fantastic models from BF no doubt about it. At our our recent first ever Nam tourney called Adolf dont surf.(Mixed tourney with Early War tourney and of course the Nam tourney) I was up against a PAVN Ironclad company of these bad boys I was facing them with my airmobile troops. Really tough fight and thank the lord for Gunships and LAWS!!!
and here they are the “little” soviet beasties 🙂
Lol soviet arms dealer :p
Great going guys! I’m hooked.
I love tanks. Please think of my bank account and stop posting so many things that I need to buy.
the tanks are really cool, but i Think i like the Centurion more.
Great looking models!
Damn, these look brutal!
Might pick some up and pit them against some US rifles 😉
These would be great for Cold War battles, too!
Great looking T54’s
nice models !
great vids
the tank’s look very cool
another great video!
I want this
Love those tanks. Really nice looking piece of kit.
This week had been great so far, although finding it difficult to keep up with all the content.
those would be the greatest transformers ever IRON CLADS ROLL OUT
I like tanks and these look good but not sure how many actually saw action in Vietnam. Perhaps our perception of the conflict has been skewed by some of the more popular Hollywood movies.
Those look fantastic
Good looking “proper” tanks. “Proper” targets too!
It’s good to see the variety available in this book with some very nice miniatures coming out. The PAVN Tanks give you some flexibility.
I want a wing of Hughes helicopters! Are those the Hughes Mk. 100?
Ooops wrong page, serves me right for having multiple windows open.
Nice looking tanks. Glad the PAVN have something to fight the US with, seeing as they have no air support.
Just picked up my Cromwell plattoon and this makes me wanna go build tanks.
C-ya.
So looking forward to moving from WWII to Vietnam.
Awesome looking tanks.
random comment to win stuff
It’s a pretty cool tank, perhaps not as nice as some of the other ones that have been covered aesthetically though.
Really nice pieces of heavy metal!
well at least the PAVN get some tanks!
Beast of a tank
Great series of videos! Awesome tanks! This week is awesome!
I like them, but I still think the PT-76 is a far cooler tank, even if it doesn’t work as well.
Loving this week, great work guys.
Another set of Great looking Minis
Best theme week yet guys. Thoroughly enjoyed it all. Especially nice touch with the music. And i liked the multiple unboxings spread over the week.
I’m going on a copy+paste mission now to maybe win an army. If not, i’ll be buying one anyway.
Patton a tank that embodies its namesake
Opps commented on the wrong tank what I meant to say was I saw a t54 tank in New Zealand or at least I saw its massive black belching smoke exhaust
Great looking kit, good review.
Man thats a cool looking tank. I keep thinking of getting some for a few Arab Israeli wars gaming.
These tanks could get awesome use by pretty much any Soviet-aligned satellite state. Versatile, and very cool looking kit.
I’ve always said the best folk music comes from the Dutch. This confirms it.
great tanks
