Those completed Bolos look great. I've got a commissar to paint that I will try to copy the shiny red leather look on. Long live the revolution!

Thanks, trev.

The leather look is just Foundry British Red Coat Shade 88A and then washed with Armypainter Quickshade Red Tone.

I have just finished my 4 command figures for the November game. These represent each player personally.

From L to R: İsmail Enver Pasha (Vagabond), Lev Davidovich Bronstein, better known as Leon Trotsky (Doug ex-em4), Lieutenant Colonel Willard Cornelius Waterloo Clarence Wooster, 10th Earl of Snapcase (myself) and Helene (Hella) Amalie Gräfin von Brandenstein-Zeppelin (Hu Rhu). Things are getting even stickier in Jhamjarhistan.

They all look great. Hopefully this will be enough to drag Vagabond back into the fold and distrct him from playing with boats and planes.

Snappy, some fantastic stuff in this thread!

I love, love, LOVE those airships!

Many thanks, marianas_gamer and Bravo Six.

Meanwhile, in a small village called Kaakharjahr, just inside the Jhamjarhistan border, one of Trotsky’s battalions was about to march to the rendezvous with the great man himself. This was the penal battalion from Zhlobin in Belarus, commanded by one Komandir-Eskatrony Solomon Rosenberg. Solomon was a passionate Trotskyite and his well-meaning but incompetent leadership had meant that he ended up in command of a battalion of criminals. The criminals had been released from prison in the October Revolution and had been causing mayhem across Central Asia ever since. Discipline was very strict in the penal battalion and was imposed mainly by the arch-sadist of a politicheskiy rukovoditel (political officer), Politruk Vykopannyy Korova. Here we see the Zhlobinski Penal Battalion formed up by the River Jham, ready to march. Their battle-cry, ‘dobycha ili smert’ echoes through the village.

Some amazing inspiration in this thread. Great work!

Gorgeous figures - The command figures and both the Red Guard and the Penal battalion. And some very exotic looking backgrounds.

Some of them obviously constructed by a genius!

Trotsky has not been slow to consider mechanisation since he took command of the Red Army. Resources are a problem for the Bolsheviks, but of course, for Trotsky himself, nothing is too much trouble. He already has three armoured cars on his massive, armoured rail-cruiser, named Revvoyensovet. Here we see Trotsky’s Chief Engineer, Ivanka Kozyrnyy experimenting with a tractor tachanka. Ivanka is impatiently awaiting the arrival of a Maxim MG to arm the tachanka.

That is a very nice addition

Very nice old bean,love an old tractor!

Martin - the penal battalion and tractor tachanka are splendid. I can personally vouch for Comrade Trotski's approbation of these additions to the People's struggle….I would have commented earlier but, as you know, I was preoccupied with a certain delicate doggie issue (issue being a very appropriate word)……
