Hi guys, here are my WIP Neo Soviet near future infantry, they are Khurasans Neo Respublik figs, the originals are nice, but they are very uniform in appearance, I wanted a bit of a motley look to my Russians, so I have added some armour and equipment to them, they will be painted in a mix of uniforms, and done a lot of head swaps I used WWII German caps and helmets, and re shaped the helmets a little, so they are more modern.
I was sold on painting them a range of browns and Khakis, but looking at pics of the troops in the Ukraine I am now not sure, all C&C welcome.

Looking good Dan. Actually the Strafbat (penal battalions), and the Naval Infantry have a fatigue cap just like that, so great minds think alike.  they don't wear any armour however, and the Strafbat have an ankle device that permits the commissar to track their location -- and blow their foot off if necessary! Then there will be Milicia, Nova planetary static troops. They have the helmet (except without the sensor suite) but no armour, and are not led by commissars. |

The big issue is mouldmaking. It takes FOREVER. |
