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 Old World - Goblins vs Empire, Batlle of The Hilly Hill

"Oi, where's the rest of the army?" Stumpy Jason turned round to the musician Thumpy Jason. "We's only playing 1000 points!" "Oh right. But why are there more Empire 'ooomans than us then?" the Goblin Wolfrider capatin pondered. Mort and I met up for a game of Warhammer Old World. I chose my Goblins, with only 1000 points. This led to me taking a unit of spears, with the army standard, a unit of archers, a spear chucker and some wolf riders. A level 1 mage, my general on a giant squig and Stumpy Jason rounded out my selection. I was tooled up with magic standards and characters, so half my points were tied up in characters. Mort had two units of mounted pistolliers, a spear unit, two detachments , one of handgunners, one of halbardiers, and a small unit of knights. Two characters were embedded in his spears and one pistolliers, and a mage strode forwards with the halbardiers. My wolves and general went left, archers, spears, bolt chucker and...

Mortal Gods - Three Sided scrap - finding the treasure.

Typhon woke up, his head was banging, and there would definitely be a new scar on hi sarm... "Nice to see you can take a knock too!" Leandros looked over at the archer. Polykratos sat on a nearby boulder, helmet and shield at his feet, sword bloodied, he was smiling at his two fellow fighters. "Nice to see you two sleepy heads. By the way, we won! Spartans and Etruscans all sent packing, treasures secrured!" Dave, David and I met up for a game of Mortal Gods. Mark was meant to be joining us, but he had to call off. This is only a quick report, as we were haing too much of a laugh! Six objecties were scattered across the field, which you have to find and hold until the end of turn 5. One would go live on a roll of '6', if an action was expended on it. The others then are empty. Three sides means two corners and an edge. 450 points each. I was nearest, Dave the other corned, David the opposite edge.My standard warband took to the field, with their eyes firmly...
