Russians painted up!

And more reinforcements have arrived!

Pleasantly surprised with Warlord efficiency in despatching my order within 4 days.

Received my Russian orders which consist of a mixed bag of models that I need to upgrade from 500 pts to 1000 pts.

Same time, got myself a Tamiya 1/48 JS-2 tank kit from a local hobby store, together with some spray cans and a Russian tank colors reference book. (And all I wanted was the tank... 😯)

Still painting my Russian infantry whenever I have spare time. Thank goodness is plain ol' khaki grey and not some complicated camouflage scheme!
Phew!

My intention is too play my first BA game with at least a painted up 500 pts army. I'm still pondering the options to use in a 500 pts list.

Painting Up Russians

Primed them and slowly painting PSC 28mm Russians in summer uniform.

Slowly dawned to me the Russians are wearing pre 1943 uniforms since they are missing the shoulder boards but I can guess not all Russian units were dressed the same even by 1945.

Slow and steady it goes....

Soviets are Here! 28mm

My Soviets are here!

Earlier than my bulk of my starter Bolt Action set...grumble grumble.

Bought off PSC 28mm Russian Army Deal which may make up my initial 500 pts.

Later posts more on Bolt Action!

The Gathering Den of Bears aka My Russian FOW Army

I deliberated painting my Russians but here they are or at least my IC, 2IC and the two platoon commanders. They are being based and later flocked.

I'm used to painting the darker uniforms of the Germans and even their camouflage patterns with my usual black undercoat. But with the Russians, I found out I need a few coats of Vallejo 912 Tan Brown to get an even color. Fortunately, its a single uniform color so I'm not grumbling...

I decided to paint up the SMG teams or at least 4 bases of them. The Udarny Strelkovy set has 8 bases worth of SMG teams but I feel that painting in small packets will prevent me from painter's burnout.

Let's hope this strategy works.
