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)..

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain. I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them.   Nemisis the Warlock - Khaos; Deadlock; the Warlock; the Shape of Things to Come; the Lord of the Flies; Holder of the Sword Sinister; The Death Bringer One of my all-time favourite 2000AD characters (2000AD is a British sci-fi based comic for those not from the fair shores of Blighty). "Creedo!" I got hold of two of these on Evil Bay, one uncommon (yellow base rim), one rare (red base rim), so I trashed the rare one (and kept the base elsewhere). This is a simple conversion of a heroclix figure,  Excessus, Sword Sinister replaced, base ripped off and new one sculpted, undercoated figure,  completly  repainted, flying stem attached. Sometimes, you just need a seri
