Flames of War M5 Half Tracks
King John – Ruler Class Battleship
I have been painting the Kingdom of Britannia Naval Battle Group for Dystopian Wars.
Having finished painting King Richard III and used it in a few games, I realised that I may need some reinforcements. The first of these ships is another Ruler Class Battleship, this one will be called King John.
Unlike King Richard III, this only has three turrets, but does have a shield generator.
Next stage will be a white undercoat.
Armoured Cars
Moving down a road are some Humber Light Reconnaissance Cars and Humber Armoured Cars.

Prussian Empire Blucher Class Dreadnought
I mentioned in a previous post that I had got some Prussian reinforcements. One of the three blisters I got was a second Blucher Class Dreadnought to complement the first one I have finished.
I did think about changing the turrets to generators, but in the end maintained the four turret model that I had done with the first one.
One of the reasons I write up how I paint my models, is partly to inform others, but also to inform myself. So I will be using the workbench feature I wrote up on the first model to paint this second model. It will remind me of the paints and processes I used.
Column of Sherman Tanks
Another photograph of a column of Simon’s British Sherman Tanks move along the cobbled streets of a Normandy village.
Buildings and roads are from Battlefront. The fountain, outbuildings and walls were the extras that you got if you subscribed to the Battlefront house deal.

Another couple of pictures of the Dystopian Wars Prussian Bunker this time with turrets glued into position.

Hussar Class Gunships
These three Hussar Class Gunships are reinforcements for my Prussians in Dystopian Wars.
After washing the resin, I glued the turrets to the three models.
I do like the fact that these turrets are not the same as the ones on the Blucher Class Dreadnought.
Humber Light Reconnaissance Car
The Humber Light Reconnaissance Car, also known as Humberette or Ironside, was a British armoured car produced during the Second World War. The vehicle was used by Infantry Reconnaissance Regiments and the RAF Regiment in Tunisia, Italy and Western Europe. After the war, some vehicles remained in service with the British units in India and in the Far East. The LRC was used widely by the Reconnaissance Corps and was also used by the Reconnaissance squadron of the 1st Czechoslovak Independent Armoured Brigade Group.
