There are 3 infantry battalions, 1 naval infantry battalion and a recce infantry battalion plus several other bases such as Div and Brig command, anti-tank rifle platoons, LMG platoons, a flamethrower platoon and a couple of female sniper teams. All by 2D6 miniatures.
I say 'complete' but they are waiting on Maxim machine gun teams to be released by 2D6.

Rebasing my WW2 collection onto thin plasticard bases is now almost complete. When it came to the Italian Bersaglieri motor cycle units I took the decision that they really needed repainting. These figures are the older Heroics & Ros and are actually designed as Germans. The detail is so basic though they will stand in for anything.
To make them stand out as much as possible I avoided any dry-brushing leaving tyres and wheels dark. I also had to paint on webbing in the absence of any such detail on the sculpts. For comparison I include the first photo showing their original appearance. I had little motivation in doing much with these and basically just speed painted them.
They look a little more respectable now and they definitely benefited from having filler applied to cover the figure bases.
Those Russians are damned impressive and you've done a great job on painting the excellent 2D6 sculpts. I like the smaller bases too, which in hindsight would have been better for my 10mm forces. The revamped motorcyles are excellent. Now we just need to see them in action;)
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Steve. With the bases, I like the idea of being able to slot the figures into the terrain as much as possible hence the smaller size.
