Nice painting - looking gritty. Where's the (wolf?) decal from?

One of the horus heresy tactical squad boxes. Picked it up for free and thought they'd suit my Germans for a bit of fun

Cool - was just confused as they're normally black. Good choice.

Good job. Nice details on the tyres.

Definitely "Red" Army though ^__^.

Looking very nice indeed, lovely piece of modelling and painting skills on display..

If I can offer one suggestion..  the Beute Panzers had the problem of being fired upon by their own side, so most of the artwork (and it is mainly artwork rather than photographs) show very large identification markings. If I was a German riding around in a Soviet Flamethrower tank, I would want the biggest Balkankreuz possible, just in case some sharp eyed 88 gunner decided I might be hostile. So large and hurriedly painted German markings seem likely.

Yeah I was gonna use more and larger transfers or paint them on. But I didn't like the look personally.
And I don't really put many crosses on my German tanks. Maybe only 2-4 max...this one has 7. So it goes way above my limits and probably would of been 8 without the wheel on the turret.

On a scale model I'm sure it'd look better. But this is a toy

Very well done on the painting! On a personal level I would doubt that a regimental commander (or his adjutant for that matter) drove around in a captured flame thrower tank though. But the markings look quite posh indeed.

That's the great thing about toy soldiers. They can be in anything you want :p
Love to get an early/mid and mid/late regular T-34/76.
Charge of the most overrated tanks in history XD

Beutepanzers did tend to have extra balkankreuzes slapped all over them to do their best to prevent friendly fire, so it's fine to have more than would be normal here.
