(Gnome Wars) The Michael Lung Gallery #9

Crunch time is coming for the con, but I'm spending a slow day at work cleaning out the bajillions of gnome-specific emails. Somehow I completely missed this pic that Mike sent me sometime around Halloween:


This is How We Defend a Pumpkin Patch in Germany


Here we have two very well supported German units. A little gun happy, perhaps, and very susceptible to melee... if of course the enemy can survive the heavy machine gun, light mortar, artillery fire, and a careening truck racing across the battlefield. Two buglers, two bier doctors, two bier nurses, these units are ready for anything the scenario presents itself.


Except a Swiss tunnel unit popping out Highlander Bersekers right in the middle of that mess.(Cold War '08, I believe).


I'll get into more specifics with Mike when we can sit and talk at Cold Wars, but I hope we'll see these guys in action if I can convince him to start the Bore Wars Campaign.... sans most heavy weapons, I hope.


Also, with only two weeks to go till Cold Wars, as the special surprises get confirmed, I'll be posting little teaser pics.

    Hi Eric, very cool units. I've managed to obtain the field gun for my Germans an I like the look of the truck. Any ideas where I can pick one up?

    Keep up the cool work.

    Cheers,

    Helen

    Excellent! You just need a Flamethrower and a unit of Hasenuhlanen.

    Helen,
    As per Mike, the truck is part of the toy line from the Disney movie Atlantis. Apparently the larger toys are perfect size for 25-30mm and even more perfect for VSF/Gnome action. Mike gave me a good pile of info to wade through, but I'll put it all together in a post in the very near future.

    PS: If you decide to look for things immediately, Mike warns that there is also a smaller die-cast line of toys, so don't get the two confused.

    Thanks Eric, I'll keep my eye open for this. Thank you for getting back with the query.

    Cheers,
