Roll Out More Panzers & Some Big Guns For Flames Of War
November 27, 2014 by brennon
Flames of War are rolling out some more Panzer tanks for the Germans and a series of big guns too. Let's kick things off with some updated sculpts for the tanks with a Panzer III G/H, Panzer III J, and the Panzer IV E...
Some rather cool and heavily armoured additions to the range that will cover the rest of Operation Barbarossa which covers the battles between the Russians and Germans in 1941. These updated sculpts are looking great and packed with detail. Helps that they're looking easy and anything to paint too!
As well as tanks you've got some heavy mortars and field guns for use in the period with both the 10.5cm NbW40 and the 76mm obr 1939 - 7.62cm available for your forces. If you're going up against some serious enemy armour you're going to need the guns.
Talking of armour there's some more for the Russians this time in the shape of the T-34. This is quite the nifty looking tank and although it isn't as iconic as the big German Panzers these were tough nuts to crack and the Germans would try and avoid confrontation with this version of the tank because of it's hard hitting gun.
Have you been taken with all this armour?
Hmmm… I thought the barrel was longer on the III J, making the 50mm more accurate.
The model comes with both barrel options, from what I can tell. Here’s the blurb of it:
Panzer III J (GE033)
includes one Panzer III J with optional (late) 5cm KwK39 gun & one Tank Commander.
Have to say I don’t like the Tank commander (but all of the tank commanders produced by Battlefront to my knowledge aren’t that good).
The tanks as a whole look pretty good, but I’m sticking with PSC models for my Panzer’s (if only they also did Crusader’s, my life would be complete 🙂 )
Those are rather nice.
