I am working on some trench bases for my artillery. First time putting this much work into bases and conversion to make my dream of an AFFORDABLE Death Korp of Krieg army. God bless the Veterans Killteam box. Can easily make an entire Krieg army from a single box with some work and dedication. It's still far more affordable buying more boxes to convert a Krieg army than actually just buying them straight out from Forge World.

""CRASH ACTION" FOR THE CANADIAN ARTILLERY," Windsor Star. May 1, 1943. Page 7. ---- ONE OF A SERIES OF ACTION PICTURES WITH CANADA'S MECHANIZED ARMY ---- "ENEMY TANKS ON RIGHT FLANK!" It's Crash Action for a Canadian gun crew. That means they've got to "draw quick" and shoot fast.

As the Field Artillery Tractor grinds to a two- wheel stop, the crew scrambles out and goes into action like the crack of a six-tongued whip. Down goes the platform. Gun and trailer swing into firing position. One man races to remove. breech and muzzle covers, as another sets the dial sight and depresses the gun. At the same instant, Number Four heaves the hand spike in place and swings the trail into position. While the auxiliary Tractor thunders up with reserve am- munition trailers, Gunners Five and Six prepare shells for the hungry breech of the big field piece. Smoothly the muzzle comes to bear on the target.

Less than 60 seconds after the Artillery Tractor's wheels skid to a stop, the gun is hurling 25-pound shells at enemy tanks. That's the kind of split- second timing and smooth teamwork which is winning world-wide respect for Canada's mechanized army. ***

Ford of Canada's 16,000 workers are proud to be represented on Canadian gun teams. The military vehicles which roll, by the thousand, from Final Testing Grounds at Windsor, Ontario, are the finest, sturdiest products which modern craftsmanship can provide. The Field Artillery Tractor is one of more than forty types of battle vehicles produced by Ford of Canada.

Rated by experts among the hat-trained, best-equipped striking force in all history-Canada can well be proud of the army representing her in the world-wide fight for freedom. Proud indeed is Ford of Canada that sturdy, Canadian-made vehicles carry these modern warriors into battle

[I.D. A digital drawing of a future version of Casey from ROTTMNT done largely in shades of red. She sits in a wheelchair with large treads for wheels and a pouch on the side with Donnie's logo on it. She holds up a large hunting rifle style gun to aim it, and the gun glows a light purple color, casting a rim light effect on her. One of her eyes glows red with her ninpo. Behind her are vague shapes that resemble far off buildings. End I.D.]

Felt like drawing my future Casey again, this time with a gun lol
