The Red Horde is almost upon us! Stalin's Soviet soldiers are now immortalized in hard plastic with this, our latest plastic Bolt Action set. You can place a pre-order for these superb miniatures now…
These are the men who fought ferociously to defend Mother Russia from the German invasion of 1941 through to the fall of Berlin in 1945. Simple peasant soldiers, they were taught to obey orders and do as they were told. Their life was hard and their battles probably unequaled in history for scale and suffering.
The Russian divisions grew from a disorganized mass to a fully capable and experienced force of modern infantry in just a few short years, a deadly weapon tempered in the cauldron of battle against the German invaders.
"Quantity has a quality of its own," said Joseph Stalin, alluding to the huge numbers of men he could put into the field. Well-equipped with simple, solid weaponry, the Soviet soldier was a terror in attack, and the very devil in defense as the legendary sieges of Leningrad and Stalingrad hold in stark testimony.
Soviet Infantry contains:
- enough plastic components to make 40 Soviet Union infantry miniatures. Includes a host of options to allow for different weapon configurations and command models
- Mosin-Nagant rifle (scoped, with bayonet and without), PTRD Anti-tank rifle, submachineguns (PPS-43 , PPSh-41 and PPD-40), Mosin-Nagant carbine, DT-28 light machinegun, Tokarev semi-automatic rifle (and bayonet version), pistols and captured Panzerfaust!
- Round plastic bases (25mm diameter)
- Background leaflet
As you can see there, is a stack of variety available, with bodies wearing a mix of summer and quilted uniforms. The sheer variety of equipment and weaponry in this set is bewildering – you can even have your soldiers fighting close-quarters, wielding entrenching tools!
