The kitbashing continues as I think I have found a use for the amazing Copplestone Neosovs I’ve had sitting in the garage for years. As a GCPS army for Deadzone.

This is a close up of the puerile Mantic strider stomping a GW imperial guard who’s desperate to get to his crushed comms kit. I’ll be painting the strider the same colours as a WW2 Soviet tank. At some point.
-
And a pic I took before spraypainting so you can see the bits for thisnpuerile vignette. I thought it too much to have the strider standing on the imperial guard, as the only way it would work balance-wise was if it stood on his crotch...
-
Very cool, nice job on the strider.
-
That should paint up fine in Soviet colours.

I’ve got some T34 decals that should be fine. Just won’t use the death to Fritzes one. To victory should be fine. And, of course, who doesn’t need two striders...
Also I spruced up the guy in the middle as a major general, as in Deadzone they have 1 armour.

Nah, go ahead and use it. Plague Patient Zero could have been named Fritz, right? :)

But would have to be more than one fritz as the transfer says Fritzes.

Well, I thought I had an amazing idea for the artillery for my Neosovs - use I-Kore artillerymen, paint them with blue trousers to show they’re a different discipline and put them on bases with magnetised options to switch the amazing anvil industries weapons buggies. And with my limited couple of hours a week of hobby time I just assembled them. Then noticed that the Copplestone infantrymen hulk over the I-Kore stuff, lovely though it is. Upsetting. I could say that in the future humanity has become pretty diverse, and the NeoSov empire, like the twentieth century version, is very diverse. And these shorter guys from some industrialised moon specialise in firing heavy weapons from afar. But still - upsetting.

That surprises me... I always thought the two ranges fitted together pretty well. Proper shame, really...

It might be worth looking at WWII Russian crews they might match up style and scale wise.

Sadly most of the newer lines of sci-fi figs while being more detailed, look decidedly skinny and small next to many 1990s figure ranges.
