WF has posted a 3d print of this little beauty: Tanks I want right now!

My credit card is crying softly to itself as it anticipates the abuse to which I may soon be subjecting it.  Poor little thing.

I really like it and the other proposed JBR 6mm designs, have pre-ordered it, and look forward to having it on my tabletop. I can't help but think, however, that people would pre-order more sprues if there was more than one vehicle type per sprue (say, 3 tanks, 1 APC, and 1 support tank?).

I ordered 4 of the current design as I don't see ever fielding more than 2 10-tank companies of these (or any other tanks, really, at any scale - 1:1, 1:3, or even 1:10). If they put more types per sprue, I'd be forced (with very little arm twisting, mind you) to up my order to at least 10 sprues, giving me enough minis to make a full 1:1 Soviet-organization battalion, including command tanks, plus a few spares. I could even up my companies to 4-tank platoons, if desired.

Anyone else thinking the same thing?

Did Bungle ever put out the Saenz or Fletcher hovertanks I did?

Yep, I am a long time Epic player. Can't help it. It is in the blood.  :laugh:

I have never seen your Saenz or Fletcher ever out. If they did, I never saw them.

Ach.  Too bad, those were great designs, and named for friends.

Well, maybe I'll track him down, and try to buy them back.  We'll see.

Best,
JBR

Keep me in mind if you do find him. I liked those, but could not aford to out bid him when they were "sold".

These are simple awesome looking. Problem is they are a little to big for leman russ and a little too small for super heavy (based on the sizes I asked for in the WF forum)

Now those APC's are going to be a must buy if they get a thread (hint!)

Yeah, I have yet to conceive of a suitable use for them, but I ordered 6 sprues anyway  :p

The FSV variants are neat, but I wonder if the missiles on the no gun version could be upscaled?  With no visible means of reload it looks more "mini-MLRS' rather than ATGW tank hunter, and would probably be more useful that way.  Note that these comments are unlikely to prevent me ordering some just the way they are now   :love:

Can they ship yesterday?  :p

These will keep me from having to wonder what type of light tank I will need to accompany the other tank design...
