Silly Week 2006

 

Even the mighty Predator/Annihilator, with its heavy LasCannons wasn't enough to turn the tide in the battle for North Africa until the British army got its leadership issues straightened out.

I've always thought that some of the vehicles from Warhammer 40K would look good in some of the historical schemes from WWII.  The Predator/Annihilator bears enough resemblance to the Matilda that I went for the Caunter scheme used early in the war in Africa.  I drilled out the gunbarrels, grabbed some spare decals for the Division and Arm of Service markings, and added MV Lenses for the taillights.
