100th Drookian Fenriders - A Cavalry Company
Willys Jeep
While the CAD Files are being worked on by someone else, I have had some time to pursue a side project that I have wanted to do for a very long time; A 40k Willys Jeep.
Now the use of Scale Miniatures in 40k has always been met with mixed results. They suffer from scale issues, and not being ‘heroic’ enough.
- Tamiya 32552
- Wheels – Blackdog US Jeep Accessories
- Stowage – BlackdogBritish SAS Jeep North Africa
- Heavy Stubbers – Forgeworld DK HWT
- Brass Barrels – RB Models 20mm Oerlikon L/70, grooved barrel
- Legs – Victoria Sitting Kilt Legs
- Arms – Mad Robot Miniatures
Where it fits into my Regiments Organisational Structure I do not yet know, nor do I know what rules I would use for it if it ever graced the table but, what I do know is that I am very happy with it.
The corrent consensus is either a Staff Car for the Command of an upcoming Field Artillery Company or as part of a future kill team (Long Range Desert Group esq)
It has been suggested that with a little moderation to its loadout (Which I note will never happen), it would make a good count as Tauros. To that I say, a 1/48 Wasp Flamethrower Jeep would be an even better replacement.
