PROJECT: Wyvern, 728th Art. Reg, Assigned to 3 Platoon, C Coy, 349th AF(R)

General Biakal –

"Artillery Regiments frown on such short range fire support like that offered by the Wyvern, so when they were issued a large number of them I took the decision to second them directly to the mechanised Platoons. Now platoon commanders had their own direct support artillery rolling at the same speed of their APC's. we were lucky enough to have enough for one per platoon, with four or five as a floating reserve."

this model makes me kinda sad. its so lazy, un-needed and a bit silly looking. its like

"we are doing a plastic hydra. we need it to make something else but we don't want to put much thought to it.... an artillery thing? ... maybe just take the hydra barrels off, but put some mantlet thing on instead so you cant easily swop between the two."

"yeah, but we will need to drop the griffon anyway just in case someone builds one... so yeah"

"shall we make it OP to fuck?"

yeah why not"

Yeah its a pretty retarded looking vehicle. Especially the 'ammo boxes' I mean look at the calibre of the guns...those magazines would hold one, maybe two, more rounds and that's it. I do quite like the detailing on the gun shield but that's about it.

Nice painting as always though.

As always an underwhelming model from GW with a excellent paint-job from General Biakal

I was frustrated at the seemingly wilful way they made it not easily interchangeable with the Hydra.

it would have taken no drama at all. but as I already had a hydra from FW I wanted the Wyvern just in case I DO play a game as it is OP to fuck
