Bring in the Troops In a Warlord Buffalo
March 5, 2012 by dracs
Warlord have released an amphibious vehicle with which to land your allied troops. Its time to fight them on the beaches with the LVT-4 Buffalo.
"Disgorging it’s cargo of supplies, troops or light vehicles from its large ramp door to the rear of the vehicle, the LVT gave it’s passengers a far higher chance of surviving initial contact with the enemy than other landing craft with frontal door ramps."
These vehicles open your games up to whole new scenarios and have more than enough room to bring your forces to bare on the axis defences.
Do you like these vehicles? Think they could provide you with some interesting gaming opportunities?
Anyone actually playing Bolt Action here? I know this model screams “I am IG transport conversion material!” at the top of its non-existent voice, but it might be interesting to see a proper historical amphibious landing played out on the table.
Actually thinking about it, it would also be interesting to see an IG amphibious assault played out too, so…hmm…best get sticking that Chimera bling onto this thing then… 😉
I dont think the bolt action rules are out yet, coming later this year, but when they do, oh boy oh boy will the shopping commence. Plastic soldier company russians and 1:48 tank kits, yes please
So this would float to the shore and drive right up the beach? Never watched much old films of the war, so I have no idea how this worked. Cool model, looks like the vintage pic.
That is correct Manpug
If you look carefully at the tracks you will just see that there are two scoops on each track link to propel the vehicle through the water.
or a warrior APC for the corporation.
Thats very good and realistic sculpt as they should have.
