Happy Halloween Shipmates

Captain Mimi Rouge,  and "Peppy," want to wish you all a Happy Halloween. As the half blood daughter of Transylvania most infamous "Count," it is the Captains favorite holiday.  So enjoy, and may you only have wonderful treats and no tricks-this year.
 

Captain Rouge is a metal 28mm piece, "Captian Sophie, Succubus," from Reaper Figures. that I painted in 2010.

Sikh Firepower Support

In the Burma Campaign, Sikh infantry were often in the most brutal battles with the Japanese troops.

Having supporting firepower such as this 50mm light mortar and .55-inch (13.97mm) Boys antitank rifle (ATR) was always appreciated. Especially as the latter had a good chance to penetrate most of the frontal armor of any IJA (Imperial Japanese Army) AFV's (Armored Fighting Vehicle's) they might encounter.

 Both the light mortar and ATR teams are plastic pieces I painted in 2019.

Centaurs Fight As Well As Teach

Famous as teachers throughout Greece, centaurs are also expert warriors.

They are especially adept with the bow.

No Enchantress is Not Green With Envy

Thor's sister Amor the Enchantress is anything but envious of her "big" brother.

As one of Asgard's most powerful magic users, Enchantress never overlooks the chance to increase her powers.

She is a powerful immortal member of the Guardians of the Galaxy and a sworn foe of the forces of evil.

 light vehicles and infantry with the flip of switch, the Meat Chopper well deserved its nickname

deserved its nickname. Mounted on the back of the reliable M5 half track, the

20 mm Anti Tank Rifle's, Not Just for Tanks

When designed in the 1930's the type 97  20mm ATR was able to penetrate the frontal armor of most of the Worlds tanks. Even though by the time of  the Second World War, medium tank armor quickly became to much for every nations ATR's, they  still had their uses. They were very effective vs lightly armored cars, halftracks and soft skinned vehicles. While not as accurate as sniper rifles, their range and stopping power made them quiet deadly against individual troops. 

This Japanese SNLF (Special Naval Landing Force) ATR team is plastic from Warlord that I painted in 2019.
