Red Storm - first skirmish!

Which would of course make you.............a grave robber.

I prefer to call it a stable job opportunity 

[has.been]

grave digger, a job where you start at the top & work your way down.

My now departed cousin Joan, was the first recorded female grave digger in England apparently!

Anyway, I digress…..an hours worth messing has given me enough markers for a small rustic grave yard.

Dead good David.

Dead good David.

Threw him a bone, there?

Great stuff! Especially like the cavalry conversion.

Ok, simple ground clutter / obstacle etc…..three patches of overgrown orthodox graves



I’m almost tempted to buy these Russian Silver Bayonet minis…..

[marianas_gamer]

Those graves are a nice addition. They give a lot of character and look just like graves I have seen in historical photos.

Russian cavalry rarely attacked the Germans in mounted formation - this is not the enemy that would allow this to be done successfully in the overwhelming majority of cases. Only against completely disorganized troops... But many of Hitler's allies fought on the Eastern Front - Romanians, Hungarians, Italians and others. Mounted attacks against them were much more effective and happened much more often. There are even known cavalry battles with sabers between the Soviet and Romanian cavalry in the spirit of the Napoleonic wars.

But for this you will need to make a Ukrainian village - it looks different. Most of Ukraine was forest-free and the buildings there were mostly made of clay.

Fear not….i am not intending to take on the whole German army with them….however it is a fact they existed! 😉.  This is what I’m only doing a handful.

Ok so graves are done…what next?   I have some wattle fencing from renders to mount…but I still need ideas for clutter…

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

That whole village looks marvellous.      

[Digits]

Much thanks fella!

Ok my TAG priest ( and other little bits) arrived….quick hand swap and he’s tooled for bear!

He will be a leader (probably junior leader) with my Partizan force.   I mentioned before, not keen on the partizans but I do like their peoples militia.  Going to mix in a few Artizan Partizans ( fun to say) but stick at about twenty minis….the rest of the force can be regular infantry types…cut off from their parent force mixed in to make up numbers.

And who said the Partizans didn't have a ...prayer?

Cool thread showcasing much of Digits' prodigious modeling talents.

Which leads to a question: Just how big of a storage Barn do you own, Mr. Digits?  It must be substantial to hold all your stuff!

 

[Digits]

Unfortunately…according to Mrs Digits…ithd barn ain’t big enough!

Dunno if you have ever been to an Orthodox church service but if you put an Orthodox priest of any stripe in charge the O groups are going to last several hours*.
