Looks good.  I love the uniformed models.  What line are they?

Nice use of Usarkar Creed! The other three are Copplestone Bolsheviks, if I'm not mistaken? And the APEs work nicely as Soviet suits as well. The HMG is a bit too recognisable, maybe - but changing it for a more Soviet type like a DShk would probably be more trouble than it's worth.

You are right about the HMG but it was a lot of work,i use GW steel legion as infantry and swapped the heads of the Incursion models with those.

Ah! Steel Legion! I couldn't quite place those heads, but they seem to work out nicely, don't they?

Great paint job. Very crisp and clean.

Very good you angry man you.
Great looking force, but even though you've painted them green, all those 'skullz' on the GW dreads seem a bit out of place, they're a little more SS than USSR.
Still, good jpb sir :)

Not to be a rivet counter, but those are Copplestone Neo-Soviets, not of Copplestone's also excellent line of Bolsheviks. ;)

<<< Bolsheviks wear that schwanky number to the left there. <<<

I don't mind the skulls, but the Imperial Aquila is definitely out of place. Those definitely say 'SS'. No worries, though. I look forward to further additions. :)

Nice, suitably drab and Soviet but not dull looking, and Creed makes for a great Neo-Sov.

With regards to the aquila, to be fair a double headed eagle isn't the most un-Russian of symbols. I guess it's up to the creator if the Neo-Sovs have co-opted old Tsarist emblems  :)

I'm eager to see the progress of this army- looking forward to the tanks especially.

Excellent little group there and they go together really well :).

I've taken a peek over at your blog and the army as a whole looks superb...

...just one question...

...why does one of your dreadnoughts have his legs on the wrong way around?  It is the heavy one...

Damn! some one spotted it,I thought I had got away with it.I actually only noticed myself when I was inking the model and got in such a fit I refused to do anything about it but its one of those things that does happen I hope. lol
                                                                                 Thanks for the comments,my blog came about when my friend at work and myself started blogs but then went into competition about followers,hit counters etc... and things escalated after that.(Hint,Hint) :D

So's far as I'm concerned, you're in the free. A friend of mine who used to play 40k had all of his backwards and I never once said anything about it. lol
