Eyes and Ears!
As promised, here is the eyes and ears of my strike force, my Recon Squad! The squad is composed of a Jaguar, two Bobcats, and two Weasels. They all have had their autocannons replaced with rifles, which I think looks bad ass!
First we have the Thunder Jaguar, which also happens to be my Army Commander.

I can't believe the speed of progress! Bases are complete, details painted and these guys are ready for the table! I really like the Grizzly model alot. Between the Heavy Autocannon and the rocket pods they look very deadly! The Headhunter crouched over is one of my favorite posses in the whole squad.

Did I mention the time crunch? Well I should mention that the upcoming Heavy Gear tournament is on February 19th, 2012. Did I also mention that I still have a Fire Support Squad to finish and start my Recon Squad? Thank the stars that I finally got int he mail my blister of two weasel ECM Gears so I can assemble them.

Heavy Hitters!
Here is the start of my Fire Support Squad. It is currently setup to have three Grizzlies, three Hunters. I themed the Fire Support Squad to have really good mid range firepower, and decent long range firepower. For my offence, this unit should be dealing out the big damage.
First we have the three Grizzlies. Two of them are armed as normal with heavy guided mortar, Mitchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15068124493697378773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492558947222573394.post-75121566316952409812012-01-19T11:30:00.000-05:002012-01-19T11:30:00.146-05:00Heavy Gear UMFA #9
GP Squad complete!
Yeah, you heard me right! Check out these bad boys. I know some of the finer things have not been painted yet, but I will be taking them to the upcoming tournament as is. Don't forget I still have to paint two more squads and a Flames of War army!

I want to throw my vote for red/black hazard stripe, because it will stand out more and be something a little different from what you usually see. That being said, yellow/black stripes will probably look pretty good on your paint scheme.You could paint the sensor eye red to see if you like red with the overall paint scheme.~Firebreak

Panzerkampfwagen IV Sd Kfz 161 Ausf. D
Also known as the Panzer IV. This was a medium German tank that was produced through the entire war. It originally mounted the 7mm KwK 37 L/24 cannon, and later in the war it was upgraded to the long barrel 75mm KwK 40 L/43 and L/48. It was well armored and had a decent speed for its time.

Drybrushing and Heavy Metal!
After the Sepia wash dried and harden, I did a light dry brushing of Dark Yellow to the Gears. This really did help the camo blend together. I also painted the weapons with Tamiya Gunmetal. Tomorrow will bring painting of more details like the rocket packs, weapon detail, power packs and bases.
Should I paint the edge of the Rocket Pods:

Panzerkampfwagen III Sd Kfz. 141 Ausf. G
Otherwise known as Panzer IIIG. It is a German Medium tank built from 1938 to 1943. It was armed decently and had reasonably thick armor. In battle, it proved superior due to German tactics!
The models I have built today are five Panzer III tanks made by the Russian company Zvezda.

Three Tone Camouflage
I applied the camo on the GP Squad, and I do like how it turned out! I used Vallejo Middlestone as the base, Vallejo German Green for the first accent and Tamiya Red Brown for the second accent.

My GP squad is the second group of figures I am working on and boy do I like how Hunter 'Gears look with Frag Cannons. All this wouldn't of been possible without the help of flintlocklaser from the official DP9 forums.

I've entered the Heavy Gear tournament that will be happening on February 19 at the next Game Summit. I plan on taking 1000 points of UMFA. I like the idea of the faction, and how the UMFA fight.

Here is a start to the StuG company I am working on. My plan is to have them complete by the next Gamesummit. 1500 points of late war goodness. I plan on running them as 2 HQ, and 2 groups of 5 tanks in each platoon. I think I will paint them in a three color camo with hard edges. For support, it might be sporadic air and some rocket launchers! I don't know yet.
