Polish 7TP Platoon

About half of a large commission of Polish armor consisted of 7TP tanks.  These came to me already assembled and base coated so please forgive any mold lines.  This is also the first time doing hard-edged camouflage by hand.  These all-metal models didn't have much detail or any panel lines, and didn't have any stowage.  Once the camo was done they finished up pretty fast.

One unit of three.  True North miniatures.
The company.  I kept the patterns similar except for some of the turrets to differentiate leaders.

Polish Guns

I finished up some Polish artillery and anti-tank guns for my friend Hal, he will be basing them later.  The anti-tank guns were pretty fiddly, about nine or ten parts each for some reason.

37mm wz.36 (Bofors) Anti-Tank Guns.  Unknown manufacturer.
100mm wz.14/19P Howitzers.  Battlefront Miniatures metals.
75mm wz.02/26 Field Guns.  Battlefront Miniatures metals, I think.

IPMS Silverwings 2020

I entered my Flames of War Objectives into the local IMPS show, mostly because I've been thinking of getting back into scale modeling and wanted to give myself two reasons to go check out the event. I ended up placing in the Gaming Miniatures category behind some very nice Warhammer figures.

Legion League II: Revenge of the Sith

I switched up my forces a little and replaced the lowly Imperial Officer with Lord Vader, and used his nice new command cards as well.  I played my last three league games with Vader and Co. and went 2-1.

Darth Vader lead his Stormtrooper squads forward and chased Krennic and his Death Troopers away from the central objective, killing them almost to a man.
In my first game against Republic troops, Vader and a contingent of Royal Guard engaged Captain Rex and then marched across the field to chase down the rest of the clones.  A sneaky move by R2-D2 cost me the game though!
My final league game matched me against another Imperial list and saw how effective Bossk can be.  Vader continued to hunt down and destroy his enemies and I pulled out another win.
I went 4-2 in the league after a bye and that should put me in the top three.  Vader is a beast!
