These are the first five of Warlord's Soviet Veteran metal sculpt squad. A nice set with some crisp interesting design elements. The only complaint about these minis is that there is no obvious loader mini for the LMG team. I sorted that out though by lazily sticking a plastic LMG magazine pouch onto one of the most likely of them to be the loader. (He's being painted up right now though)

The distraction was this cheeky impulse buy, a see-thru green plastic Reaper Bones mini called "The Summoning" (I believe). I just liked the sculpt and knew it'd be a fun exercise in Slapping on washes and harsh highlighting. I think I got the look I was aiming for. No idea what it'll be used as, but it looks cool in the display case so that's enough for me. :)

What a perfect miniatures Dai!
ReplyDeleteLove your work!
Always so kind with your comments mate, thankyou!
DeleteMarvellous winter soviets Dai, with some really nice basing too, and a very nice distraction indeed. Great posting imho :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks everso Simon. The distraction was really just am excuse to stop painting uniforms! For a bit at least.
DeleteAt this point Mr. Dai it must be said that your snow is more realistic that actual snow. Nicely done as always.
ReplyDeleteHeh, cheers Frank. :)
DeleteJust brilliant Dai.
ReplyDeleteThe 'Rule of cool' should always come first!
ReplyDeleteTop stuff
I think you are correct on that matey. Cheers!
DeleteVery tasty comrade, you have some of the best snow bases around :)
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to give in to the odd impulse. And it worked out really well on that lovely model. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Ed.
DeleteFantastic work all around, man - Good stuff!
ReplyDeleteCheers mate!
DeleteGood looking Sovs, and I like that Reaper figure. I haven't seen it before. Keep on plugging away.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sean. I'd not seen it prior either, but it is a really fun sculpt and fun to paint too.
DeleteWho has time to paint miniatures that aren't going to be used for a game?!
ReplyDeleteYou must be one of those people who paint for fun. 😀
Looks good!
Heh, yeah. Which doesn't really make sense considering I have so many gaming minis that require my attention!
DeleteGreat looking soviets and a nice fun figure!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Appreciate the kind words Iain! :)
DeleteGreat looking start to the squad. The ghosts look cool. You coud always use it as a statue or something.
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon - I was thinking the very same thing.
