Here are some locations for my WWPD buddies

Heavy Gear UMFA #14

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. This guy is sporting a Heavy Rifle, Light Rocket Pod and Vibro blade. He has very high defense skill, and will prove very difficult for my opponents to destroy.

The second part of the squad is a pair of Bobcats. These guys will be primarily providing target designator support for the gears armed with guided weapons. Bring down the rain I say! They will also provide secondary ECM support for my team. Unfortunately, only being armed with a light rifle and light rocket pod they will be plinking away at weak targets at best.

The last, and possibly the most important part of the Recon Squad is these two Weasels. These guys provide rock solid ECM and ECCM support. I should be able to stop alot of important enemy activity down with these guys. Even if I don't use them to block enemy communication, I can use the sat uplink to replace my own command points.  Being armed with only a medium rifle leaves much to be desired in the damage category, but I highly doubt this electronic master machine will do much shooting!

As you can see, I have a nice balanced Recon Squad which will help me shut down, and destroy my opponents!

Firesupport Completed!

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. Tonight I start on the Recon Squad, and hope that painting them goes as smooth as these guys!

Time Crunch!

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. I almost forgot that I also need to paint up a 1500 point Late War StuG army for the tournament the day before on the 18th. Gah!

Well, working under pressure has sure produced some results as all I have to do to finish this squad is a few minor details like the bases!

Washes, Drybrushing and Weapons

Minor update. The Fire Supper Squad has been washed with sepia, drybrushed with light tan, and the weapons have been painted!  Boy these Grizzlies are turning out to be sweet gears!
