Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel and another Bolt Action army showcase. I have finally completed the Afrika Korps project that I started many months ago and I really didn't think that it would take me this long to actually get it finished! But a combination of distractions and other projects stopped me from getting it completed.......but now its done!
The list is based on the 1942 DAK Panzer Division in the Campaign: Western Desert book by Warlord Games. This is based around Panzer IVs as the core tank in the list but I have also included a captured British Matilda to add a bit of character to the army as well as another captured allied vehicle which was a lot of fun to put together!
I really did enjoy working on this project and I hope that this is reflected in the showcase.

Nice work on Dak Ste, inspiration for my future dak flames of war. Nice looking captured Matilda and carrier.

@OnPointHQ Год назад

Thanks Lucian! This was really enjoyable to work on and the desert weathering was new to me but I'm happy with how it turned out. Next I plan to add three Panzer IIIs 😃👍

@BrushQuill Год назад

Some beautiful work there Ste. Love how your cork bases make it look like younust plucked them out the ground, topsoil and all.

@OnPointHQ Год назад

Thanks Cal! I think sometimes desert basing can be a little tricky but the cork really does work as an effective basing material. Bit of drybrushing and tufts certainly adds to it 😃👍

@soic9690 Год назад

Beautiful army! Honestly seeing all the kitbashes and conversions just makes me wish there was more of it.

@OnPointHQ Год назад

Thank you! I definitely plan to add a few more bits and pieces to this over the next few months 😃👍

@theenigmaticgamer Год назад

Superb showcase Ste! You’ve done a fantastic job. Congratulations mate.

@OnPointHQ Год назад

Cheers Keith, very kind of you! Super happy with how this turned out given the hours I put into it 😃👍

@SPD3DPrinting Год назад

nice list there! I enjoy your kitbashing and repurposing captured AFV's

@OnPointHQ Год назад

Cheers buddy! I always wanted to include a few captured vehicles in the list to give it a bit of a unique look 😃

Superb DAK showcase, very impressive!

@OnPointHQ Год назад

Thank you Phil, much appreciated! 😃👍

@paulspaintshed3511 Год назад

Very cool Ste. Great painting allround especially the tanks. I do like the builds that the campaign books allow.

@OnPointHQ Год назад

Thanks Paul, much appreciated mate! Definitely agree, I find the idea of painting a standard reinforced platoon quite dull and would much prefer a themed campaign platoon like this 😃👍

@andydrb9673 Год назад

Really enjoyable showcase. Lot of work gone in to make a unique force. Great work.

@OnPointHQ Год назад

Thanks Andy! It wasn't until I was making the video and looking at the models again that I realised just how much time I'd sunk into this project 😃👍

@andydrb9673 Год назад

Well it was well worth it. Cracking force. Looking at your video has made me want to revisit my 15mm Desert forces. I was using some British trucks for part of my DAK but will nick your idea and add a Matilda. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and all that 😃

@theministryofminiatures Год назад

Working on my DAK at the moment... quite a sizeable force to take on my huge 8th army! Always an inspiration, keep up the good work.

@OnPointHQ Год назад

Thank you, much appreciated! I definitely want to add to my DAK over the next few months but that 8th Army project is definitely calling me. Good luck with your DAK 😃👍

@@OnPointHQ my mega 8th army showcase: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E9B9AGoV2Bs.html, there are 4 video’s covering British, Commonwealth, Indian and LRDG/SAS... your army showcases are always so inspirational that it helped me with my project, hope you like them!

@HALOLAMOREUX Год назад

Awesome looking army. Great inspiration for my DAK.

@OnPointHQ Год назад

Thank you! I always get so much inspiration and ideas from looking at other people's Bolt Action armies 👍😃

@jonreyes587 Год назад

This army looks great! I’m assembling an Italian army which I’m not sure whether to paint them for North Africa or the Eastern Front. This video is pushing me in the North Africa direction though - very inspirational!

@OnPointHQ Год назад

Thanks Jonathan and apologies for the delay in responding! That's a tough decision but I would say that I really enjoyed working on a desert themed army as it really made me think more about uniforms, colour schemes and basing. With Warlord Games' new plastic Italians though, I think I'll definitely be doing a desert force 😃👍

@robandrosehobden3344 Год назад

Amazing work like the vehicle and kit bashing brilliant job 🏆🏆🤠🤠🤠

@fubarwgmm 6 месяцев назад

Really enjoyed your DAK and SAS videos - keen to know more about how you do your cork bases?? Very impressed and would like to try myself. Could you share how you do this?? Cheers

@lionheart3916 Год назад

Fantastic looking force ste, I really like the captured allied vehicles. As far as I know the Germans captured a lot of universal carriers at Dunkirk so entirely possible the Germans would use them

@OnPointHQ Год назад

Thank you! Yes, a lot of the research photos I found were from Dunkirk. I really like the idea of using captured vehicles and when I found the list allowed me to take a Matilda I knew I had to have one 😃

@generic_asian_ Год назад

My friend and I just started getting into Bolt Action and we bought the Gentleman's War box. I wish I had the money to buy everything I wanted.

@OnPointHQ Год назад

Welcome to the world of Bolt Action! The Gentleman's War box is an excellent start and will really get you used to the Bolt Action rules. After this, just make additions where you need and you'll very soon have quite a sizeable army. Good luck with it all 😃👍

@generic_asian_ Год назад

@@OnPointHQ we've already bought a tank for each other.

@darrinstanaway8943 Год назад

mate beautiful looking army I do like how you said you hate figures just prone your armies always look good and like there in a battle

@OnPointHQ Год назад

Thanks Darrin! I've used prone figures in the past but I really don't like them in infantry squads as it ruins the overall look. Glad you like the armies, I think kitbashing can really change the dynamic of an army 😃👍

@oldschoolfrp2326 Год назад

Great collection with all the personal touches, kitbashes, and captured equipment. Normally I love metal figures but I have to agree Warlord’s undersized crews noticeably don’t match their own infantry scale!

@OnPointHQ Год назад

Cheers and definitely agree about the metal crewmen! I first noticed this when I was working on my winter US Airborne and the size difference between the metals and plastics was very noticeble. It takes a little bit of time to do but is definitely worth it in the end 😃👍

@billu5297 Год назад

Please do a step by step guide on how you paint your showcases

@OnPointHQ Год назад

I have a few ideas for painting tutorials planned over the next few months 😃👍

@jvcpaints Год назад

Fantastic looking army, Ste! Loved the captured vehicles. I'm not a fan of the metal crews too much either. 10000% agree on prone guys, or as I call them 'casualty number 1'. Side rant: why has Warlord been doing their German MGs prone or slung? We want them blasting from the hip screaming decked out in ammo belts....well, I do anyways. lol.

@OnPointHQ Год назад

Cheers James, much appreciated! I've mentioned it a few times but as soon as I get a new weapon team, the first thing I do is look to replace the crew with plastic equivalents. It can be time consuming but definitely worth it. Ha! I definitely know what you mean, I think we'd all like a few more Rambo poses 😃👍

@darioscomicschule1111 5 месяцев назад

You can Turn the Turrets on your Panzer 4'S? It seems so.... Glued in place^^ They look great!

@OnPointHQ 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Dario! No, the turrets are glued in place during assembly as I don't really like moving parts on any of my models. The same goes with elevating the barrels, I always glue this in place too 😃👍

@darioscomicschule1111 5 месяцев назад

@@OnPointHQ The Same with me. I like to glue on things. Or at least like when they are Moving slowly and with a certain umphff... Don't like loosy goosy stuff.

@lesliebeilby-tipping6854 Год назад

Been out this last week visiting the local sites and have found a number of German vehicles. Nice to see the cork is back. And the plastic crews look great. Do you have a game lined up to use them yet?

@OnPointHQ Год назад

That sounds like an interesting way to spend the week Leslie. Thank you, I just think there is so much scope for creativity when it comes to weapons team crews. I could have a very small game using my desert SAS but I'm definitely going to start an 8th Army project 😃

@danielplant3219 Год назад

Great video as always and another beautiful looking army. I was wondering if you did any commission work as while I enjoy playing and researching for BA I really don't enjoy the building or painting side of the hobby?

@OnPointHQ Год назад

Thanks Daniel, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I've never really done any commission painting because I paint for pleasure and would probably find it difficult to hand the figures over! If you're looking for a good commission painter, check out my mate Shaun at Metal Mercenaries 👍😃

@danielplant3219 Год назад

@@OnPointHQ I will have to have a look. If you ever do consider it please let me know as your kitbashes really give great personality and uniqueness to a force. Plus if you ever want to see your Polish Paras I may be your man 😂

@teamkeogh Год назад

I’m painting up an Afrika Korps force atm. Can I ask what’s paints you used for the infantry’s jacket (pale green) and the trousers (desert yellow. I really like your paint scheme.

@OnPointHQ Год назад

Sure thing, no worries! For the jacket I use Vallejo Russian Uniform Green. Rather than apply a wash to the whole jacket, I mix up a 50:50 black and Sepia wash and apply this to all the folds and recesses. For highlights I add a small drop of Khaki to the Russian Uniform Green and hit the more raised areas. For the trousers, I use Vallejo Khaki and just like the jacket, use the same black and Sepia wash in the recesses. To highlight the trousers, I add a small amount of Vallejo Off White to the Khaki. Hope that helps 😃👍

Makes me feel lazy seeing stuff like this. I have over bought to fit both normal games and themed ones.

@OnPointHQ Год назад

No, not at all. There are no rules to how you should go about collecting things or how you choose to build your armies! I only work on projects like this as I'm more of a painter than a gamer so I can spend more time on it. Keep doing what you're doing 😃👍
