After the Richmond trip I decided to give a scale model a try. It was a very different experience to building a wargaming model or a resin model. What you can't see in these photos is the fully detailed engine bay. On a wargaming kit hidden parts wouldn't be present, but in a scale model they are. It was kind of fun stepping into our hobby forefathers shoes for a bit. However, now that painting is nearing completion, I wish the model were in a usable scale for Bolt Action.
Stand this guy in the back and see how it looks.

That guys has long been paint stripped and repainted in my new scheme. It is strange, but I would not feel comfortable using a Nazi vehicle in a 40k army. I am fine using it in Bolt Action though. There is definitely a bit of hypocrisy there.
DeleteActually makes sense. Historically, there were nazis, and you're playing a historical. The 41st millennium doesn't have actual nazis, do including them is basically homage.
DeleteAs someone who has a "Won't play modern games, cause it's all a bit too close to home." thing going on; I can completely understand that.
