Dunn-Kempf: The OPFOR WIP

This weekend I was able to work a little on my Soviet "horde" of tank companies, carriers, and support vehicles including the recce platoon, AT platoon, and AAA platoon.  They're not done yet - probably about 80% now I just need to do some flocking and re-mount the infantry from pennies to larger stands.

First up are the tanks and Infantry Fighting Vehicles.  The total maneuver force is 31 x T-62s organized into 3 x companies of 10 tanks, and the Battalion Commander's tank.  Also a cross-attached mechanized infantry company in BMP-1s.

Proud T-62s.

The 3 companies followed by the BMPs, and behind them are the support platoons.  Lots of Red Steel!

Sprayed PSC Rusian Armor Green, inked, then dry brushed khaki.  The tracks are painted rust and the ditch bars are painted also.  Pretty simple ,but effectively "Soviet"

BMPs

Saggers painted white more as reminders than anything else.  

 The ground texture is either vallejo sand or vallejo "european mud" painted tamiya flat earth.  It will be very lightly dry brushed and flocked soon enough.

Probably worth mentioning here that my desert Arab-Israeli forces will get the same treatment.  These guys are being based for TEAM YANKEE in 6mm, DUNN KEMPF, etc.  They're all based on Team Yankee/ FOW sized small bases.  I plan on doing this same thing for WW2 as well to play FOW.

Command vehicles were given something "distinctive" about their paintjob.  In this case, this company commander's tow cable was painted rusty.  Note this is the color of the vallejo mud before I painted it.

 In TEAM YANKEE or FATE OF A NATION the platoon leader's vehicle must be distinguishable so these SAGGER ATGM  vehicles have a red "star" on their platoon leader's hull.  Same with the recon boys, and the Anti Aircraft Artillery.

Note the red dot on the turret.

Forward Command post / FO and spotter vehicles.

Finally for the infantry commander's track, there is a red stripe around the SAGGER round atop the 73mm gun.

That's all for now.  Work is a bear lately so I'll be off the net for a little bit.  Stay tuned, though.  More on Dunn Kempf coming up like working out the "To Hit" and "To Kill" percentages, as well as Orders of Battle, maps for the battle, fireplanning, and of course the West Germans, which I am hoping Dave can send me pictures of so I can post for the project.  Until next time have a great week everyone!
