28mm Female Soviet figures from Bad Squiddo

Second rifle squad for my Soviets


Bases with slightly more greenery than the other two squads (once they have been used a few times I'm sure they will be mixed in and no one will notice)


Bad Squiddo does do nice sculpts


All look ready for action


Two more snipers


Why two more?  Most rules only use one! Xenos Rampant uses squads of five figures, I could just call it a reduced or single model unit, but why not!


"Come here..."


Atmospheric shot
 
Missed a rifle(wo)man out on the last batch, she heralds a second rifle squad that is assembled and ready to go.




These will be one of three forces, depending on my mood:

AVBCW Singer Ladies Defense Committee
Defenders of Stalingrad for Bolt Action (only ever played 1 game)
Soviet Witch Hunters for Xenos Rampant
Looks like Tommy's favour with the Singer ladies Defense Committee R&D has paid off, here they come with lot's of experimental weapons that Uncle Stalin has kindly sent through (rumours of air drops and microdots abound)! He's provided the sheet steel, they've made the SMGs!

Rifle squad (will be boosted to 10 figures for games with some of the command figures)

I really tried to get the uniforms accurate


"For Small Heath!"
"Don't you mean the Motherland?"


SMG squad


Advancing


Useful whem fighting through the back-to-backs!


Top down view, it's a lot of shattered brickwork.


Command team, medic, leader, radio


Had a lot of fun with the basing


The nedic does have a red cross


Maxim MMGs


That's a lot of firepower


I only ordered one set in the Kickstarter, but when I opened my mortar pack, there was a Maxim set in the pack instead. Annie is such a legend and sent me the mortars right away!


The aforementioned mortar and anti-tank rifle, I have straightened the barrel since!


This might annoy something, if not, it will revert to its late war use as a sniper rifle.


I've appear to have quite a lot of support weapons. Maybe I should get more infantry?


Dzulbhars & Dina


A sapper and mine detecting dog


Lyudmila Pavlichenko: Sniper Ace. Joining my sniper squad (two more to buy and add for a squad of five)


Suitably heroic pose


Wistful look for the killer of 300+ enemies
more soon(ish)..

Warhammer 40000 Sisters of Battle build and paint project

I have not played 40k since the mid 00's, but a couple of months ago I really enjoyed a game of Combat Patrol (40k light with fixed forces). It would have been easy to go Nids (which I have played in campaigns) or Marines, or revert to Tau or Grey Knights, my two previous forces, but I decided to try something different. Very different. Which has been tempting me for a while and always fascinated me as a design concept. Sisters of Battle or Adeptus Soritas. Nuns with guns. Utter loony loyalists with religous fervour, armour, guns, iconography and fanatical devotion to The Pope The Emperor! So, over the next (insert indeterminate) period of time, I will be building, painting and posting about the Adeptus Soritas Combat Patrol.    Soritas Unit Sisters of Battle Research 7/10, Build 6/10, Paint 8/10,  Fun 9/10 I stayed away from the GW suggested red and black scheme, and went with something more fun, purple and gold.

Black Powder 1870 Stats and Modifications

1870 Franco-Prussian Conflict in Black Powder Hi all, If you are reading this, it's because. like us, you are Black Powder fans and want to know how we manage the Franco-Prussian War. Anything below is by no way official, just the house rules we have developed over the last few years of playing. A few thoughts first: Fighting in the period is best described as hard fought assaults by Prussians, supported by superior artillery against superior but very strong defensive French lines. All ranges and movements are in cm scale, just to be awkward! All my forces are modelled on 3” square bases, apart from divisional commanders, skirmishers and artillery which have a frontage of 1½” and Corp commanders who are on a 2” base. Feel free to ignore that. My units are regiments of infantry,   brigades of cavalry and skirmish squadrons of cav. Artillery is either battalion as one gun, or a battery of two guns on a base, horse artillery have limbers attached. Army composition...
