1st Chechen War in 28mm Kickstarter - Part 2 Announced
« on: October 02, 2017, 07:09:52 PM »
I just came across a really promising Chechen Wars Kickstarter. Its already funded, and looks like it should meet its first stretch goal without too much bother. They'll all be fantastic for my modern Ukrainians.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1026360580/28mm-chechen-wars-miniatures/description



£30 for 10 of either side, £50 for all of them and the stretch goals.


Russian VDV Recon




Chechen Fighters




Stretch Goal #1  Chechen Snipers

I've just discovered they're Igor Karpov's sculpts, so no surprise they are that good!  lol  They have plenty of character, so that they can even be used in some kind of Sci-Fi setting IMHO!

Only one point: where are the FEMALE SNIPERS?

Funny, talked at the weekend about the fact, that Igor did this sculps. They are so PA for me, but do not fit in his PA-Range. I will use them as PostApos.

I'm looking at them for modern stuff, but they'll equally work with my S.T.A.L.K.E.R. models. The Russians, with a bit of work (maybe mixed in with Empress Miniature's ballistic facemask helmets) would for Metro 2033 soldiers too (a game I'd love to do, but hell, show me someone with the patience for a modular subway system board...).

SG #3 is a mdf building, a ruined warehouse. SG # 4 will be more Chechen fighters.

Nice, albeit the weapons are a bit chunky. Some of those Chechens would make fabulous elves for Santa's War on Terra.

I think the gun on the middle of the first row of VDV is a PKM. ...Don't quote me on that.  ::)

A somewhat short and chunky PKM at that.
