My current project requires 6 T-34/76's. The majority (80%) of my figures are Battle Honors with a small amount of Warlord Games and 1st Corps. So I'm looking for a model that will 'scale in' with these figures and look right on the table. Thanks in advance for any assistance! Regards, J. P. Kelly |

Planning ahead for TheWarStore's (and other companies') Black Friday Sale is just smart shopping. |

Why not look at ours! It is plastic and you can choose any version of the T34/76 between 1940 to 1942, with either rubber rim or steel wheels, and more… link |

Sure no problems. Where can I get them in the USA? |

NWS sells Warlord stuff at 25% off. If there are any items (including Warlord's special order stuff) that aren't listed on their website, just send them an email and they'll add it right to the catalog and get it in.

You could look at Jtfm. They have 3 packs. link Rubicon in US here (not available yet) link |

I would go with either JTFM or Warlord. |

It also depends on who you're gaming with – most manufacturers are doing 1/56 scale vehicles (which, IMHO, look a bit small next to most 28mm figures). I like the look of 1/48 models with 28mm figures, and some resin manufactures offer 1/48, along with 1/56. If you're gaming with others who use 1/56, the 1/48 models will look decidedly LARGE in comparison! I was going to suggest the Rubicon models too – they look pretty good from the pics I've seen. However, Warlord are also producing more plastic kits now too. (I've done a couple of Warlord resin kits, and they can be a little tricky sometimes…) |

I use 1/48 exclusively because my miniatures are mostly Artizan, Crusader and Warlord, but since Battle Honors is on the smaller side of 28mm I would say 1/56 would probably look more 'right' with them. |

Thanks to all who responded! |

NWS will have the Rubicon models by mid-November. |

We use 1:48 – 1:50th exclusively also, I also use many miniature lines including Battle Honors. These are the vehicles we use. link or…

The cheapest one you can find. You will eventually move onto another period/scale and dump it painted and based for half of what you paid for it. |

DeRuyter and Warlord: thanks for the info! Grossman: I've never done that. |

Although they are smaller than I would like at 1:60, you can get Westwind T34's in the Old Glory army deal. IIRC they are about $17.00 USD |
