War Chariots! 15mm Peter Pig Technicals

Here are six 15mm Peter Pig Toyota Pickups miniatures for use in modern Africa games.  The Peter Pig gunners only come in 3 poses and 2 of 3 are firing a .30 caliber machine gun.  I did not find any pictures of technicals with mounted .30s, so it seems strange that Peter Pig even made them.  To fix the problem I mounted some Battlefront (Vietnam) .50 caliber machine guns and a Battlefront (Flame of War) Russian DShk.

According to Wikipedia, an African warlord's power could be measured on how many technicals he had in his "army".  Six seems like a 1st level warlord, but I hope to paint some more in the future.  He might then be a respectable warlord.


They do seem to be mostly Toyota Pickups in the Google images.


Here is a scale comparison.


Here is the complete Peter Pig gunner with the .50.




This the a Peter Pig gunner that I cut the .30 cal off and added the .50 cal.


The Russian DShk.






And last a group shot with some infantry.  I do hope to get some pictures of them in a game this month.  I am working on some professionals/elites right now.

  2. Those are indeed excellent. The weathering is really really good. Do you plan to base them?

  3. Thank you, I am glad you like the trucks. I would like to base them in the future, but my group has mixed views on basing vehicles.
