Eine kleinepanzer nachtmusik?

 Turns out panzer wanze is German for armoured bug. Who knew? i mean, people who speak German, sure, but not me! 

It's bearing down on that time of year again when I reveal my secret tech for our club's annual Flames of War event in memory of clubmate Nick. This year, I'm taking my favourite LW German archetype - turrets are for chumps and adding to this year's stupidity are three Kleinpanzer Wanze:

 

Is bug. Is so cute! I'm sure this will be terrible, like all my Remember December lists, but meh. They're fun.

Tune in in a couple of weeks time to see how we go! 

Next Time

Whatever happens between now and RD!

Short and sweet

 Not much this week. 

I played in a one-day Kings of War event at the club yesterday and won three games out of three, part of the epic victory for Team Good. There's part of me that thinks the combo of ogres and light infantry and cavalry was the genius list build that got me over the line. I suspect however it was my opponents rolling dice like this that also had something to do with it in almost ever game:

Shoutout to blogger Pelarel for the last game of the day and that, while explicitly the worst of his die rolls, is also an adequate illustration of his dice in that game more generally. My shooting against the slow undead definitely came to the party for the first time in the day too which certainly helped!

Workbench

I finished up the backlog of Mehadistes for Silver Bayonet Egypt as well: 

Another Grenadier on the left, the Occultist (because no one else would be so gauche as to wear orange) and then a light cavalryman and his dismounted version. I have a couple more civilians that I could paint up for this unit but we'll see how we go.

Blogger Tank has been tinkering with his table setups and has come up with a new one he wants to try out so the timing is great!

Next Time

I have one more squad of Imperial Navy Breachers on my desk that I want to finish and a quick project for our annual club memorial event in December so probably those!
