Amazing miniatures. Really love all the options in the box
I built a Tamiya kit of one of these troop carriers as a nipper. I love em!
All they are missing are some sponsons for heavy machine guns 🙂
look cool, any idea how useful some of these variants are in-game?
loving the amount of variation from this one kit 🙂
that is definitely a nice kit
Rhino’s for the win
I don’t know why but I have always liked apcs, and mech enfantry.
This is one of my favourite plastic kits of all time!
Gareth is definitely brave for fielding that force. Honestly, though, those are so amazing looking who can blame him for trying?
Nice kits. FoW or Bolt Action….too hard to decide.
My friend laid it out quite nicely for me.
If you favour tanks, then you should go for Flames of War.
If you favour infantry, then you should go for Bolt Action.
This helped me with the thinking a bit.
The Rhino’s older brother.
Great looking kit. Lots of options.
NOW Where are the Dusters!!!! (M40s) Luv’d those things for clearing some jungle!
A super dooper little kit. Forget the Huey copters, go where the grunts are!
give me !
These bad boys are next on the list to buy, if the wife lets me lol if not il sneak them in somewhere lol
Lovely looking 15mm Rhinos.
It’s a wonder GW hasn’t taken the US Army to court
I have this kit and they really are great.
My favourite transports, awkward death traps, but reliable and working to date.
hey warren convert these to 40k unit’s!!!
with a little bit of conversion work those could be epic scale rhinos
I was waiting for this unboxing since Warren was taling about it with Dave…. And right he was.. great vehicles.. great detail… great work , Battlefront ppl
Boughtb the resin ones and they had some problems with the top fitting correctly and the sides were often warped. Being Resing this could easely be solved, but the tops were often too small. Still made some very naice models. The plastics just blow your mind. Simply put; the best thing after sliced bread 🙂
These M113s could convince me to forget Air Cav. Nice kits.
