The Waldheim Dragoons: a refit
Click thumbnail to enlarge - All photos by John Treadaway
History The Waldheim Dragoons uprated their forces with heavy blowers in the Early 320s and in TW326 had refitted all of their medium vehicles with a new hull design with heavier armour. They also uprated the weapons on the Daedalus medium tanks from a 10cm powergun to the slightly more effective (though smaller calibre) 5cm High Intensity weapon. This also ensured ammunition commonality with the M2A2 blowers and the towed Anti-Tank weapons. As all of the vehicles rely on powerguns fitted for Anti-Missile and artillery work, they uprated their AI systems to network them more effectively. They also introduced some laser AA vehicles as an option, simply as – without the space consuming ammunition requirements of the multiple 2cm powergun Calliope – they had room for some ATGWs to be fitted as well.
Stowage Sidebar I added lots of stowage from various sources, mostly GZG and Brigade. All was prepainted (and shaded) by be before I stuck it on to the vehicles. I also added stowage from a mixture of Greenstuff and black milliput. This gives a dark green effect putty which is still easy to work into folds (being 95% greenstuff) without being too bright and - on that basis - is self colouring! Result! With a little highlight and a wash afterwards it is a slackers way of adding soft stowage.
