WF 28mm Red Army.
« on: 03 June 2013, 10:26:14 PM »
WF have put out a preview shot for their forthcoming WW2 Soviet infantry and they look good. Late war infantry in summer kit.

Looks like I will finally have the perfect conversion source for the Red Army of the 1960s. To make things better, the recently released Survivors pack contains plastic AK-47s

Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

These look real good, much better than the warlord ones in terms of proportions atleast. I wonder if they will fit in well with all the new perry stuff. Cheers for this Carlos  :D

Not bad. The faces look better than the Warlord plastic Russians' ugly mugs.

Are you planning an 8th Army or Afrika Korps versus Soviet scenario then?  ;)

They do look quite good though.  :)

Haha, I could but I was thinking of painting some of their Italians in the much more snazzy dark grey uniform. That or possibly converting the Afrika Korps into Romanians, but that might be abit too much effort....

Shhhh, don't say that out loud, you'll have your head cut off by some round here.

I like this, I was impressed by the survivors, Germans and yanks they do, hoping they do brits soon and some plastic weapon sets with MG's, AT guns, mortars etc etc for each country would be a nail in the coffin for Warlord-Games-Workshop.

You want to see what a second offence gets you? Imagine a slideshow of the ugliest WG faces on endless repeat!  :o
