Just a quick pic of my first "Weird War" Russians to go with my walkers.
They are from the Thrilling Tales range by Artizan Designs.
I tried to paint them in "Cold" colours to reflect the Winter feel to them.



Hopefully Artizan will bring out some more in this range as I really like them.

Cyberian Rifles, I presume? ;)

Very nice. That light grey/white of the coats is nice and dusty. I like it.

they certainly look like they are deep in the Siberian wastelands. Excellant.

I would'nt change a thing about them but I wonder if they would look even colder if you used a more bluey base?

Damn - they look chilly!
Are you sure their skin won't stick to the metalwork on their weapons?  :wink:

Nice Pappa, just one thing.

I know them's 'ard russkies but no gloves? Their fingers would stick to the triggers and freeze up.

So mittens for the next lot please!  ;)

Nice still.

Thank you all for the feedback!

I love "Cyberian Rifles"...very cool!

Valid point about the bases, I was contemplating blue or white, but all of my other "Weird War" stuff have black bases and I'm a little bit of a "stick in the mud" when it comes to making my troops look uniform for the same game.

I thought about the gloves/mittens thing after I finished them (doh!!). Their hands would indeed freeze to their weapons. I may re-work these ( although the Vodka content in their blood may act as a mild form of anti-freeze!!! :mrgreen: )
