Wayne’s West German Leopard 2 Panzer Kompanie: Part Two with Wayne Turner
Here we are some seven months since the Leopard launch weekend and I have my first 100 points of West Germans completed. A lot has happened since then, we’ve released Iron Maiden and Volksarmee, but I have managed to stay relatively on target despite these distractions. I did stop to paint a few more bits for my Soviets, but I’ve been mainly focused on getting these guys done. |
So what have I painted? Surprisingly I’ve managed to stay close to my plan outlined in part one.
Leopard 2 Panzer Kompanie HQ 1x Leopard 2 - 11 points.
Leopard 2 Panzer Zug 3x Leopard 2 - 33 points.
Leopard 2 Panzer Zug 3x Leopard 2 - 33 points.

Marder Panzergrenadier Zug 3x MG3 team with Panzerfaust 44 anti-tank rocket.
2x Milan missile team 3x Marder - 7 points.
Luchs Späh Trupp 2x Luchs - 1 points. |
Luchs Späh Trupp 2x Luchs - 1 points.
Gepard Flakpanzer Batterie 4x Gepard - 10 points.
PAH Anti-tank Helicopter Flight 2x PAH - 8 points. Total 108 points.
|
So I’ve gone over my 100 point target, but haven’t painted the Fliegerfaust Gruppe yet. However, I’ve painted an extra two Gepards and an extra two Luchs over my initial target. |
I painted them all in 3-colour NATO camouflage using an airbrush. I tried to follow the pattern as closely as possible using photos from books and online as a reference. |
Next, I plan to finally get the Fliegerfaust Gruppe done before moving on to some more panzergrenadiers. I’ve assembled another four Marders and plan to make the panzergrenadiers into a formation of their own. I’ve also got another three Leopard 2s assembled. |
I plan to add Panzeraufklärungs Kompanie, for which I’ve assembled some Fuchs and Leopard 1 tanks. I’ve put together a Jaguar 1 Jagdpanzer Zug as well, likely to support the panzergrenadiers. I still need some artillery, but I haven’t decided what yet.
Anyway, I hope to have another update in a few months’ time.
Enjoy!
~ Wayne.
