Looks good.  I love the uniformed models.  What line are they?

Nice use of Usarkar Creed! The other three are Copplestone Bolsheviks, if I'm not mistaken? And the APEs work nicely as Soviet suits as well. The HMG is a bit too recognisable, maybe - but changing it for a more Soviet type like a DShk would probably be more trouble than it's worth.

You are right about the HMG but it was a lot of work,i use GW steel legion as infantry and swapped the heads of the Incursion models with those.

Ah! Steel Legion! I couldn't quite place those heads, but they seem to work out nicely, don't they?

Very good you angry man you.
Great looking force, but even though you've painted them green, all those 'skullz' on the GW dreads seem a bit out of place, they're a little more SS than USSR.
Still, good jpb sir :)

Not to be a rivet counter, but those are Copplestone Neo-Soviets, not of Copplestone's also excellent line of Bolsheviks. ;)

<<< Bolsheviks wear that schwanky number to the left there. <<<

I don't mind the skulls, but the Imperial Aquila is definitely out of place. Those definitely say 'SS'. No worries, though. I look forward to further additions. :)

Nice, suitably drab and Soviet but not dull looking, and Creed makes for a great Neo-Sov.

With regards to the aquila, to be fair a double headed eagle isn't the most un-Russian of symbols. I guess it's up to the creator if the Neo-Sovs have co-opted old Tsarist emblems  :)

I'm eager to see the progress of this army- looking forward to the tanks especially.
