The vehicle is a straight repaint. I am currently building up my Steel Brigade team as a separate faction from my J.O.E. team and as such, they need their own vehicles and troops. I decided to shoot some pics with the APC and my Steel Brigade Recon Unit. I think these guys would be using this truck to get a shore and would be deployed from a dedicated marine unit.
I really enjoyed the original APC as a child, but I never understood the main gun. It seemed a little overkill for the role it was meant to play. I thought it needed more of an anti-infantry weapon and nothing screams anti-infantry like a high caliber, high ROF gun.
