WW3 - 27th (Neil's Own) Lancers - Reconnaissance

Hi all it's Neil here back for some more of my 27th (Neil's Own) Lancers for WW3 Team Yankee.  This post is showing my latest additions to this force, a pair of reconnaissance units.  These are a unit of 4 Scorpions and a unit of 4 Scimitars, to work towards my planned list from the previous post.

WW3 - 27th (Neil's Own) Lancers - List building and Infantry

Hi all, it's Neil here back for some more WW3 27th (Neil's Own) Lancers.  Some of you may notice the new title for these hobby posts which is to keep it separate from my other Team Yankee content where I take a look at the background and different forces in the game.  Today I will be showing you some infantry that I've painted up to support my Chieftains as well as sharing my first 100 point list idea for bring them to the table soon.

WW3 - 27th (Neil's Own) Lancers - Chieftains

Hello again, I'm Neil and it's time for 15 mm tanks in WW3 again.  In an earlier post I'd painted some Chieftain tanks for my Team Yankee force and now I've come back to Chieftains to bolster my minimal formation with another 3 for now (I ran out of Deathworld Forest Air paint for the last two I currently have so they'll be coming soon-ish).

The Chieftain is still the main tank of the British Army in Germany even though its an older tank at the time of setting of the game but with its powerful gun and thick armor it is still able to deal with even the best that the Pact can field.  The Chieftain can be further upgraded with the stillbrew armor package further increasing its armor on the front but reducing its ability to successfully navigate rough terrain.

Here are my three newly completed Chieftain tanks;

WW3 - 27th (Neil's Own) Lancers - Lynx Helicopters

Hi all, its Neil here and welcome back to my WW3 Team Yankee series.  It's been quite a while since my last post for WW3; so long in fact that there has been a whole new edition of WW3 Team Yankee.  Last time I showed the 5 chieftain tanks that I'd painted which gave me the bare minimum for a chieftain company in game.  This time I've painted up some air support for these tanks in the form of a pair of Lynx TOW helicopters. These hunter killer helos mount two TOW guided missile launchers on their flanks and are great at taking out even the heaviest Soviet Soviet armour.

For the colours I've used this image from the internet as my inspiration.

WW3 - 27th (Neil's Own) Lancers - Hail to the Chief-tain

Hi all, I have now completed the painting of my five Chieftain tanks, which are divided into a Company HQ unit consisting of a single Chieftain and two Squads of two Chieftains in game to form a minimum sized Chieftain Armoured Company formation.

I have tried to go for a historical style paint scheme but there are some bits that may be non historical colours or styles for game play reasons.

WW3 - 27th (Neil's Own) Lancers - Neil's British Forces For Team Yankee

I like tanks (and I mean why wouldn't you), they're cool and interesting vehicles.  To scratch my tank itch, I've decided to pick up my Team Yankee British forces from Battlefront which have been sitting in a box for while as a side project. Team Yankee is a game that I haven't played but its set in an interesting alternative timeline where the Cold War turns into a shooting war between NATO and the Warsaw Pact in Europe.
