My Harkonnen Sand Troopers started as a 'throw away' project (more intel here). But like many before, it's grown arms and legs in quick succession. This time in the form of two platoons of GZG Chariot Light APCs (V15-04C pictured below), plus robotic infantry and Walker Drones (on the workbench). A perfect OPFOR with AA's forthcoming Tomorrow's War.
I rarely buy tracked Sci Fi vehicles. I'm a 'Grav Man', but these Chariot APCs are really tasty little models. One platoon became two, and I really had to fight the urge to buy that third platoon/company command with my GZG discount voucher. The variants available allow you to build interesting platoons that are more than just 3-4 tracked boxes. Regardless of discount, got to keep my eye on next month's new 'Colony Bar'.

ps: A late night dash to the wire and I manage to finish the Harkonnen headswops too! Huzzah!
Fabulous looking job there Mark !
ReplyDeleteCool looking patrol. You know those FSE troopers are actually pretty Traveller-looking when you see them painted.
ReplyDeleteCrackin' job.
ReplyDeletePersonally i'm a tracked man myself
Great looking minis. I'm seriously thinking about getting a platoon box of those APCs myself, plus the FSE Legionnaires too. I usually prefer power armoured troops, but those paint up really good.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys.
ReplyDeleteThe FSE are surprisingly neat minis, though I ditched the figure 'at the ready' as his pose was blah and the helmet didn't match the rest of the FSE figs.

Very nice! How are the platoons composed?
ReplyDeleteAPCs are
ReplyDelete1st Platoon: Command APC, 2 Missile APCs, 1 Infantry Carrier
2nd Platoon: 2 Missile APCs, 2 Infantry Carriers
Each track carries 2 rifles, 1 SAW, 1 S/MAW, 1 Combat Droid
Missile Track: 3 rifles, 1 SAW, 1 Combat Droid
Leg Platoons are three squads: 2 Fire Teams each as above.
