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   Mutant Zombie by CP Models Or just a mutant? Nota nice looking chap That's not going to clear up anytime soon! Nasty rash there Puss, but no boots   Thought Sharke needed some support, so when I ordered terrain from Alternative Armies, I added a certain Sergeant. He's a BIG unit!

Soldiers of Napoleon - Imperial Guard vs Austrians.

 Mark and I met up for a game at Leighton Buzzard Wargames Club. My Imperial Guard vs his Austrians, but he had taken an earlier list (1806), whereas mine was back to 1811. This time saw the first fielding of my new Young Guard. My plan was to adance the guard through the two villages, one brigade had deployed forwards in the centre to accomplish this; then swing in from the left with the Gauard Heay Cavalry brigade. Unfortunately, Mark had other ideas! He had deployed with his cavalry brigade screening forwards. Then it all really went his way. Soldiers of Napoleon has three things you can do on each card, an amount of units that can move, a rally state and special events. Sometimes, the cards fall absolutely how you want them to, sometimes, they don't. Turn one and Mark had been dealt two sets of 'At the quick' special event cards, allowing a march and then a manouver (or vice versa) for three units. Exactly the amount of cavalry units in his brigade! Combined with a ...
