Red Storm - first skirmish!

[FreakyFenton]

The three scenic shots with fencing along with the buildings and forest in the background look good!

Stunning table! Congrats on a job well done

Thanks for posting, as Basementboy says stunning table

[Digits]

Many thanks guys.

Ok, not usually fan of mass batch painting, but 70 minis in one batch is a record for yours truly!

The mobilised hordes of mother Russia.  The base rifle platoon.










And some supports.  An HMG, two MMG, two LMG, flame thrower team, AT rifle, 50mm mortar and a commissar.






I also have ready to prime, a pair of AT guns, a tank carried SMG squad and a sniper team…..

That's a lot of grunts to do en mass, my Mk 1 eyeballs are twitching just thinking about it. End result is awesome, great result.

[MaleGriffin]

Brilliantly done! Masterful execution!

[Digits]

Thanks both.  Glad to have the monkey off my back tbh!

Gluten for punishment, I have just cleaned up the militia…

[Digits]

Sniper team added.

Nice.

Ta Pete.


Ok….i think I need to get a church built pronto….i need a village focus and the sniper needs height!

Pretty much going to make this one up as I go…..starting top down I think.

Just had to butcher my rolling pin to get a piece of wood to fit the onion.   I want this to have a vantage hence the window back and front.   I will fill panels between the uprights then build the top roof of the church.  Anyway…I will change my mind a few times before it’s finished so I won’t bore you with my crappy sketch.   




Edit:

A quick  Russian Orthodox cross…needs to dry now..

Good job on the soldiers! Can't wait to see the church.

[warburton]

Brilliant work on the platoon and the church will be great if the beginning is anything to go by.

[Digits]

I like a little pressure! Thanks 😉

I ordered a printed Flak 30 with Fallschirmjager crew so that I could replace the crew with these bad boys.   Really just an exercise in hand swapping and arm positioning but they do give it a touch more dynamism I think.   I need to tidy them up and winterise them yet.



I know they aren’t Russians but I don’t want to add to my Western Front thread as I intend to winterise a few more Germans so I can swap out a few models carrying assault rifles etc from my Bulge collection so I can use them here mid war so to speak.

Building a Russian Church...how Orthodox David.

It will play merry hell with his Outlook calendar. Just wait until Easter rolls around.
