Glad to see this KS thriving, obvious use is of course the 1st Chechen War but I plan to use the Chechens for many other factions than "just" the Chechen side. They get to be one (local) faction in some scenarios set in somewhere in somewhere-stan, somebody already mentioned a possible use for PA gaming etc. Same goes for Russians as well.... Actually, I have no direct plans for any Chechen War gaming

Aye, I'll be using mine as militia units for games set in Ukraine. The Russian outfits match what many forces worldwide are still wearing (hell plenty of Russians are still kitted out with the old gear).

Personally the guns do nothing for me, but seeing as I need 30-40 models for the force this seems the way to go. I'll just smatter in Empress/ Spectre/ Eureka fighters to fill out the rest. A big plus with this KS is the amount of specialist weapons available. Whilst making my Russians/ Ukrainians, getting a hold of those in can be a bugger, and yes, whilst other manufacturers do them on the own, they fall prey to the "my gun barrel's thicker than a tank's autocannon" syndrome.

The 10% future discount may also be appreciated with Tiny Terrain's other stuff. They have an Israeli Sand Cat (popular worldwide) coming out at some point along with American bits.

Just checked on the KS page.
Over $11,000, that's exciting.

Missed it until this morning. Received an email and went all in. Been a while since I backed a KS but I'm a sucker for Igor Karpov's sculpts and can always find a need for more chunky Russians with guns.

Well we're onto the last 16 hours of the Kickstarter. £10,556's been raised, and all stretch goals unlocked. The "All in" Pledge now nets 34 models for £20, with 20 more for another £35. Anyone who pledges at All in also gets an mdf building, and one extra special model as well.

So anyone left over now's the time to pledge. I'm using my stuff for generic modern militia forces, but the same models could work as post-apocalyptic survivors and the like. Regardless, I'll be awaiting them being cast up by the new year hopefully.

This is a real bargain

Should be 34 for £50 not £20 the rest of it appears correct.!,!

Email received today with photos of test casts
They look great should arrive end of month approx
Really glad I backed it

Wyrmalla · « **Reply #55 on:** January 09, 2018, 12:50:00 AM »

Shipping's now for some time in February due to the non-projected increase in the number of casts. They didn't expect to have to be making so many models.

Not like I'm going to be through my existing lead pile by then anyway.

Edit: Nah, keeping mum.

From Kings Hobbies and Games - evidently where the rest of the original line which Igor couldn't find a buyer for went.

Lowtardog · « **Reply #58 on:** February 10, 2018, 07:37:12 PM »

I don't think so Tim may have had these done as they are based on Ukranian militia rather than chechens and more modern e.g. knee oads

Wyrmalla · « **Reply #59 on:** February 10, 2018, 08:27:09 PM »

I believe Tim and Igor have their own arrangement separate from that Kickstarter.
