I'm rooting for the "forces of the decadent capitalist lackeys!" grin

Thanks (I think) Frederick! :-) can't wait to get our new gear christened, should be an epic fight. Will post batrep as soon as it's done!

Frederick, Na Rodinu – not "na rodina", will be the slogan for the troops, returning home. (was written on a steamers, bringing demobilized soldiers back to Soviet Union)
"Za Rodinu" ( i.e For Motherland!) was a common slogan during WWII and is more appropriate in this case.

though real siberians might kill for them being converted from orcs ;)
Reminds me of ages old Chaos Dwarf Soviet army on GW site…

Now you're talkin! We got into Weird War 2 and I found the Soviets in WW2 were quite into hover technology, so the T-34 Hovertank joined the fray – quite an easy conversion fwiw

Oh now they are just TOO cool! Might have to give something like that to the League of European Nations faction… A "Fliegermaus", something like that :-)

Thanks zrunelord! Taken quite a bit of inspiration from your stuff – you might notice the IDE cables serving as tank tracks? That was from your blog! :-)
