Painted for the last LPL, but I failed to finish them in time.

Thanks for commenting  :)

...are you painting any more of the range ?

Not at the moment.  Did some of the Neo-Sovs a while back.  Probably paint some more in the future, but there are so many great figures I want to paint.

Lovely, they'd have got my vote   :-*

I look at them and think "Thals" from the "Genesis Of The Daleks" story, which is a good thing!

Whilst I love Mr C's Future Wars range [and have far too many to paint], for some reason I just can't take to the Neo-Sovs :?

I think it may be that they are just a bit too "retro" looking - certainly the weapons are. Maybe with more snazzy-looking firearms, they would be more to my taste.

Still, I'm looking forward to your paintwork, if and when you get them done  lol

They are the ones I had already painted - a while ago though.  I think my painting and photography have both improved since then, but they're not bad.

Sorry, misread your post  :(

Yes, they are very good indeed, but the scavengers are a real improvemant!

I really like your shade of "Russian" khaki - it's just a shame I don't like the weapons [design, not painting!]. They don't really look "futuristic" at all and if I saw those troops running around with a T72 etc I wouldn't think them out of place.
