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)..

Soldiers of Napoleon - French Imperial Guard vs Austrians - bad day to be a hussar.

Whilst down in Wiltshire for the Devizes comp, Nigel very kindly gifted me his 10mm Imperial Guard division from FOGN (Field of Glory Napoleonics), and although I had rebased the cavalry and generals (including painting some), the guard themselves were not finished. I scrabbled together a 900 Soldiers of Napoleon list (which turns out to be illegal, read the rules Will), and fielded it Vs Mark's undefeated Austrians. My army, including reserves, was twelve units and Mark could basically do that in two brigades! My list : Two brigades of two five Old Guard infantry, with two twelve pounders and full cassions. Guards Heavy cavalry brigade. Five Grenadiers a Chevel. Five Guards Dragoons. Three batteries of 8lber guns. Guards light cavalry brigade. Four Guards lancers, four Guards Chasseurs a Chevel. Three batteries of three 8lber guns. Mark had: An Avent Guard brigade with hussars, artillery, jagers and two infantry units, two dragoons with horse artillery as his cavalry brigade,An in...
