Thanks folks, appreciated  :-[

Some time since I've done 10s and first time for tanks.  The idea is to do the French DML and bits of a German Panzer division, bit of an on/off job so it'll be German armour next.  That way I'll have something to fight with.

Great looking tanks! Early war French have always been a favorite of mine, mainly due to their very cool armor and the camouflage they used. I am planning some real fun for my French WWII Post Apocalyptic army using some of their mid 30's camouflage. I am using Pendraken for all of the armor and walkers, and I will share pictures when done....but i am a very slow painter!

Good stuff it's always cool to see French kit in its crazy camo patterns. Good luck with H35s in a game. The look good in a big swarm, but pack the punch of a limp stick of celary - which is also what their armour seems to be made from!

The SOMUA though, will give the Panzers a run for their money.

Terry - what are the 30s camo patterns like?
