Warlord Games 28mm Sdkfz 222 Armored Car

Recently received my latest warlord games order, got a few things in this one all for the 1939 Polish Campaign.  One of the vehicles, the Sdkfz 222, is the subject of this post.  Thought I would do a quick review and comparison to the Company B Sdkfz 221. 

The Sdkfz 222 is a very nice model, crisp detail and very sturdy.  I comes with the gun assembly, turret and the wheels all cast in metal.  The vehicle hull is cast in a single piece of heavy resin that will hold up great on the table. 



You cant see it in the photo but the wheels connect to the hull with a nice slotted base on the back of the assembly.  This makes for a very rugged suspension that will hold up for years of rought handling.  The only complaint I have is that the wheels seem a bit on the smallish side, maybe its just me.  This size difference is really noticeable when compared to the Company B model in the next picture.  Not sure what to do about that, but my brother can worry about it as this is his model.

Here is a quick shot of both vehicle hulls and the wheels of each model.  Also note that the turret of the Company B model comes cast onto the vehicle whereas the Warlord model has a turret that is separate.  I think the detail is much cleaner and sharp in the Company B (also more detail) model but the Warlord model is a much more rugged model.
