Look good.

Like the navy too.

We've never really got into AK47 yet. Got both versions of the rules but just can't get the hang of them.

You know that any AK47 army is never finished, right? There's always a need for more technicals/tanks/armoured cars/helicopter gunships/nuns/film crews/naked militia etc. You might of set off down this path of your own volition, but Peter Pig now owns you. It will be easier for everyone if you simply admit it.

Congratulations, I bet it feels good to complete a force...

Painting looks great, you did a good job with the lil' guys.

I'll say it’s pretty much complete when you have infantry, truck, APCs, tanks, landing crafts, patrol boats and… a freaking submarine!!! lol

Very nice work 8)

So a submarine tender is now required, along with maintenance units for all that machinery... and a medical unit..

"Finished"? What is this "finished" you speak of regarding a miniatures project? "Finished" is a thing considerably more mythological than unicorns... at least I can get a unicorn model in pewter, nobody has ever even done a model of a "finished", whatever that may be...  ;)

Great looking AK47 forces, that's one of those games that's always interested me but never gotten high enough up The List to actually get to the purchasing of models.

They look good. We got into AK47 a few years back and ended up with a campaign weekend with all sorts of mayhem. Very good fun.

Not bought the updated rules yet - I keep seeing mixed reviews of them.
