With all the discussion that they're bringing Warzone back, I went back through my old rulebook. (I only have the second edition rulebook.)
I found a picture of the big helicopter, the AH/UH-64 helicopter.
Did they ever make vehicle kits for the Bauhaus Bully MBT, Wolfclaw Jungle Tank or AH/UH-64 helicopter, or anything else?
If not, how do you proxy for vehicles? What do you use?

In our case we just do not use large vehicles . ::)
-
Most of us don't but those who do use GW, Old Crow or other commercially available stuff. There were resins made of the Grizzly, Wolfclaw, Black Widow and others by the old Armorcast but they are rarer than hen's teeth
-
They included rules sheets for Warzone 1st ed. with the models.
-
I don't remember a Wolfclaw model.
I remember the Grizzly, Black Widow, a Bauhaus 4 wheeled armored car that was sold in pairs and a Bauhaus hovercraft (Cobra ?) that was not the Strike Skimmer.
-
The armoured car was a Jackal PzRV-31 (Panzered Recon Vehicle). I only got one in my pack. Hereīs a reprint of the rules: http://www.timewarpcomics.com/GAMESITE/warzone/vehicl03.htm

The hovercraft was a Cobra GEV-12.

There also was a Grizzly kit, modelled on this picture: http://www.algonet.se/~patrik_w/pics/Bauhaus_Grizzly.jpg . The kit is somewhat smaller than the description suggests (in the RPG, the Grizzly is a fortress on treads that has its own dining room, waiters and chefs for the officers).

For the Dark Legion, there was a weird spider-like vehicle called a Black Widow.

I donīt recall the Bauhaus Bully having been produced.

One would have to tweak them a bit for UWZ. On the other hand, the new Warzone guys from Prodos might resurrect them eventually if you wait long enough. All the models are pretty rare and fetch incredible sums at auctions. Iīve heard of one Grizzly being in the four-digit GB pound range.

Even the last vermin was realy expensive at ebay .
-
Oh, yes, the Vermin. I forgot.

I never managed to get the vehicles when they 1st came out as my local shop didn't have them and I was unaware of them until after they were discontinued was luckier with the vermin and managed to get on of those. The Grizzly just looked to big for the table.
-
Was a huge block of resin all right.

I don't remember a Wolfclaw model.

My bad - I was thinking Jackal but my fingers typed Wolfclaw
-
There was animated images of the Wolfclaw. But I do not think they made one in resin.

Anyway, too much Bauhaus and nothing else.

Agreed they only started to do Imperial vehicles during the Excelsior days >:( (apart from the Hurricane)

If you change the numbers at the end of the link per hand there are 18 models accessable. Mostly Dark Legion, Capitol and Bauhaus.

I had the Black Widow and frankly was not impressed with it. Badly desgined and pockmarked with airbubbles. Now the Grizzly on the other hand... ;D I just wanted it for the shocked look of opponents when i put it on the table but could never get my hands on one. ALthough i solved this by using an Ultimate Godzilla....now lets see his had a flame blast radius of 10,000 points.... :D
