So I am “deep into the 22” and short before finishing this army and project. It was one the if not the most comprehensive and longest ongoing projects I have done so far. For sure it was the most fun one, building, painting and putting togehter this iconic force.

One of the things missing though is a some combination of transport capacity and firepower and because I build an Indian army I opted for the Indian Pattern Carrier over another Bren / Universal carrier to put into the mix. I purchased these from Perry Miniatures which makes the vehicles being maufactured by Blitzkrieg and the crew by the Perry twins (quite obvious). In addition to what the initial model sets offer I built the stand for the pintle mounted LMGs from one part Warlord Games – the Bren Carrier stand that comes with their kit – and one part of a nineties woodelven standard of GW fame. The painting scheme – of course – had to be the caunter camo I did on my Matilda tank (of which I will show you a final picture in a future post).

After this what’s more to come then? Next up will be the MMG and medium mortar teams and finally the Ordonance QF 2pdr AT gun – with all models from Perry Miniatures. This makes my army being comprised of models by all of these manufacturers: Warlord Games, Perry Miniatures, Blitzkrieg, Stoessi’s Heroes (1x) and Blacktree design (1x).

Now have a peek at my Indian Pattern Carriers of the “Red Eagle” Division.
