Warhammer 40K Goblin Soviet Squad from Kromlech........

........otherwise known as the Spitsnasty!


The orks in the Orkmacht look with disdain towards their smaller brethren who follow the code but in their own way, considered crazier and drunker than any other unit. Resin minis from the boys at Kromlech, painted  a while ago..............

I give you the Spitsnasty!

20mm Soviet WW2 Anti Tank Platoon Platoon...

.....now with added troops and crew that were lost and found in a zombie scenery box! The figures and crew are from PSC and are based on the European Battlefield rules.

2nd Painted 20mm Soviet WW2 Infantry Platoon.

This unit netted me 128 points in the challenge, 32 plastic figures from The Plastic Soldier Company and 2 platoons down and one to go to make up the company...

I'm not confirming that the pictures were taken at work......

20mm Painted Soviet WW2 Command Base.

One of my entries for the painting challenge will be this command base from Britannia Miniatures of command motivating the troops, it usually comprises 5 figures but the other two have joined the partisans and took command of an infantry company.

I wasn't in a rush to paint this as it's really only a diorama or a bit of eye candy but the challenge means points.....

Up to 8th place out of 24......

20mm WW2 Painted Partisans and Resistance Fighters.

I gathered these WW2 20mm figures together to represent saboteurs, resistance fighters and for behind the lines shenanigans that tie up regular troops and put a strain on lines of supply and communication...

They are a mixture of soviet partisans from Shell Hole Scenics and CP Models, dismounted soviet tank crew and cossack from Britannia Miniatures and resistance fighters from Wargames Foundry (these are more western european operations), I will add my soviet airborne as well to give a more military look to the unit.....

Ray painted and based these (has never based a figure for me before) and got points in the challenge as well for them ( there is no bleeding fecking justice at all but that's life.......). I'm happy to have them even if the painting is a bit dodgy......

20mm WW2 BT-7 Soviet Tanks, back to work and Resolutions!

Back to work today, a quiet Christmas, a quite New Year (except for the shagging fireworks!), painted some 20mm Soviet BT-7 tanks from Pegasus Hobbies for the painting challenge (Ray has cheated twice already!), Santa wasn't too bad to me either.

I don't post too much from home because the SWMBO has knackered 3 desktops so far and now has a laptop for wandering around poultry forums but it doesn't like blogger, so I visit more than comment at home because the laptop wouldn't survive the angry repeated typing.

I will start wandering around blogs again today, hope you had a good Christmas (you're not obliged to) and a good New Year (same thing), ignore those resolutions but to me me it's like the lyrics from a song "another day older and deeper in debt!"

Have a good one people but only if you want to!

20mm figure from PSC for scale or size purposes.

20mm Painted WW2 Russian Infantry Platoon.

A 20mm painted Plastic Soldier Company WW2 Russian platoon for my foray into the Soviet Union next year, the platoon is made up of 3 squads and a command squad, there is a figure (LMG) missing in the top left of the first picture but he has now been found and while Ray is not a suspect at this time but investigations continue.......

20mm Soviet 45mm Anti-Tank Guns but there's a bloody problem!

I painted these Plastic Soldier Company 20mm Russian anti-tank guns recently and their crew and took some pictures when I realised where's the fecking crew because I know I painted them!

Now I'm not accusing anyone (Ray!) but I'm still looking for the painted shites until then here's there guns (lovely bits of kit) and also another thing why did I paint only 3 of the 4 guns that came in the box!

I need a lie down and here's a sneak peek of what was at the British Military Tournament 2011 last Saturday.

Very, very pretty Apache!

20mm PSC Painted WW2 Soviet Infantry Squad.

While I'm nearly finished the Operation Sealion forces I had a go at painting some of my Soviet forces which I have been hoarding for a while, nearly have a platoon done, I followed the painting instructions on the box from PSC but I'm not happy with the colour, the figures or my paintjob/choice of colour but I suppose I'm not called the Happy Lurker for a reason and they were as the budgie goes cheap!

The British Military Tournament was very good even if I was sitting in the Gods (well nearly!) and will post pictures..

Lots more Soviets to come.......
