Title: The Laguna War Kossacks

For several decades the Kossack battlesuit has served Federation forces well, in both open wars and counter-insurgency. Here we see two Cossack suits from the 12th Guards Airborne conducting search and destroy missions on Laguna Beta. Both field temperate digi-camo, unsuited for the arid conditions of Laguna Beta but due to their rapid transfer to the planet from operations on the 'Eden' class planet of Laguna Prime, the crews had little time to prepare.

Both carry standard pattern armour shielding, though Red 4 can be discerned as an earlier MK13 model suit by the dark green articulation fabric, though its optics and sensors have been updated to MK14 standard, common practice among units such as the 12th GA. Both are armed with the свет Laser, a weapon useful against personnel and light vehicle targets, both have their right arms with a hand fitting, as befits their intended role. Red 4 and Red 5 would see extensive combat during the pacification operation. Red 5 would later be destroyed during the fighting at Refinery 671, when hit by a Lagunan sniper using a 14mm Enfield Arms Anti-Material Rifle.

Red 4 continues in service, proving that 13 is only unlucky for some...

Will always have  soft spot for those marvelous Ma.K. fighting suits. Superb job on the camo Piers.

Will you use them for 28mm only or do you think they could also stand in as early mecha for 15mm gaming?

They look great. Painting the hard-edged camo on the rounded surfaces of the suits is very cool! :)

I really like the weathering, very curious how you do that.
