I'm a little late to the party with Luce but I also got really into Trench Crusade last year and I felt the urge to combine the two things. Luce being a representative for Catholicism and Trench Crusades being the epitome of God's love and vision for humanity, it felt right to combine the two.

It mostly gave me an excuse to draw a bunch of Trench Crusade shit; I love those little dudes. I dunno how you get much better than "drink the blood of the 7th cloned Jesus and become a 15 foot tall mutant with an oversized tank rifle" in your war-game setting, it just be like that.

Neither Trench Crusade or Luce belong to me. But Catholicism does actually belong to me; I invented it in the 2nd century AD so that I could piss off my other christian friends who were trying to spread Orthodoxy.

The panzerhunter 4 based on the undercarriage of the panzer 4. A in between solution after the Stug 4 and the Jagdpanther.

Stug 4 in different shapes and sizes.... they leave me as fast as I can make them and I made a lot of them...

Nr.248, The 12.8 cm Selbstfahrlafette auf VK 30.01(H) "Sturer Emil".

The 12.8 cm Selbstfahrlafette auf VK 30.01(H) "Sturer Emil" (German for "Stubborn Emil"), also called Panzer Selbstfahrlafette V (Pz.Sfl. V), was an experimental World War II German self-propelled anti-fortification gun.

 It was based on the Henschel VK 30.01 (H) chassis and armed with a Rheinmetall 12.8 cm Kanone 40 L/61 gun (based on the 12.8 cm FlaK 40).

This gun could traverse 7° to each side, elevate 10° and depress -15°. It carried 15 rounds for the main gun.

This is my fourth Sturer Emil so I am 200 % more productive with this model then the Germans in 1942 for they made only 2.

Nr.247 Stug 40 with Winterketten ( winter chains ).

Sturmgeschütz 40 Ausf.F, Ausf. F/8 and Ausf. G (Sd.Kfz.142/1).

Beginning with the StuG III Ausf. G from December 1942, a 7.92 mm MG34 machine gun could be mounted on a shield on top of the superstructure for added anti-infantry protection. Some of the F/8 models were retrofitted with a shield. An additional coaxial 7.92 mm MG34 started to appear in 1944 and became standard on all production during the same year.

The vehicles of the Sturmgeschütz series were cheaper and faster to build than contemporary German tanks; at 82,500 RM, a StuG III Ausf G was cheaper than a Panzer III Ausf. M, which cost 103,163 RM. This was due to the omission of the turret, which greatly simplified manufacture and allowed the chassis to carry a larger gun. By the end of the war, ~11,300 StuG IIIs and StuH 42s had been built.

The Stug 3 based on the Panzerkampfwagen 3 originally intended as a artillery/breakthrough tank but it adepted a role of a panzerhunter tank. On of my all time favorites an I can't tell you why.
