My third Sqd complete and a heavy weapons team what do you think???

**SagesStone**

They look pretty cool

**Superscope**

In Soviet Imperial Guard, Models build you!

Love those Ak-47's they got. They look great man.

**Brother SRM**

I really like the idea behind the army, although you might want to push the Soviet angle a little stronger. Perhaps a red star on the shoulderpads? Right now the regular troopers just look like the pretty standard Cadian/Pig Iron head combo, aside from their pretty rad AK-47s.

**Xanthos**

Nice Spetznaz veterans too. This actually looks good so far.

**guynamedFleck**

Really nice. How did you accomplish the bases? is it a molded plastic card of the top?

**Empchild**

looking good, but I agree to push the russian idea a little further. Also you may want to clean up the lower part of the bases that you have painted black as they are atm with some of the grey on them.

**Valkyrie**

Love them, especially the Guardsman taking a sneaky swig from his hip-flask. Just wondering though, what do the blue berets mean? Are they Veterans or some other sort of elite troop?

**IamAz**

They look awesome .

**thesilverback**

Looking good. Love the AK variant on the lasgun.

**Elthrai**

Those AK's rock. Even though alot of people use the Pig Iron heads I still think they look great for IG.

**Lextheimpaler**

hey thanks all for the comments. yeah still have to clean the bases i known. Did soviet troops run around with red stars on the there shoulders in real life?? not likerly . The blue berets are airborne marines there my veterans packing ak74 with GLA. the bases are from forgecraft.

The blue berets designate that they're Spetsnaz (Or... Vets. I guess.)

I agree that they need more Soviet-ification, though they look prime nonetheless. Just popping a Red star on one shoulder, or painting one Shoulderpad red and freehanding some communist-esque symbol in yellow would work good too

If I might make a request: A Senior Officer with a Fur Hat

**Shadowbrand**

Yeah, I second this and put the soviet logo on a few pieces.

And a Something is wrong with this guy hat will help alot too. But you got a great start!

**FoxPhoenix135**

Hammer and Sickle for the win!

**Lextheimpaler**

Sky blue — Russian Airborne Troops (VDV)
Black — Marines, Special Militia Units (OMON)
Dark green — Special Units of FSB Border Troops
Rust red — Special Units of Interior Ministry Troops (MVD) — there is a special exam for wearing this beret
Orange — Search and Rescue and Emergency Ministry troops (EMERCOM)
Cornflower blue — Federal Protection Service (FSO)
Camouflage — non-regulation, but often seen at the Red Square parades

**Kanluwen**

Now you just need an opponent making some Wolverines! themed Orks.

**Lextheimpaler**

Lol i did watch red dwan for some insperation, theres also i good rusiian movie called 9th company. Im awaiting my tanks and artillery from FW cant wait hopefully there here by next week

**stormarine101**

that is one beastly looking army

**A-P**

Looking good! Any thoughts about making a Comissar for the unit? NKVD/KGB badge maybe? You must ensure that the officer in charge makes "politically correct" decisions.

**Exarch_Nektel**

Pretty nice, but you might want to have some squads of valhallans in their- now they are soviet!

**lasgunpacker**

the models look great! The Fritz helm looks a bit off with "soviets" but that is a minor complaint, and only something you notice when looking closely.

Where did you get the Ak74s?

**Lextheimpaler**

Have a commissar made up with a head swap bit of dremeling and walaa, As for valhallans probly wont as all my troops are in NBC gear and valhallans look to ww2 and very cliche' i want different. The ak's are from the assault group. Will be doing ratlings with ghillie suits and SVD's

**lasgunpacker**

you might want to turn the commisar's head to look where the gun is pointing.

Thanks for letting me know where the AKs came from, I wondered how well the TAG guns would work with IG.

**Lextheimpaler**

yeah someone else has suggested that. but i picture him with the gun to someones head whilst addressing is men on the evils of failure

**theocd**

If you look in the picture of the Command Squad, because you have taken the heads off, it looks like the Commisar's shot the vox-operator.

The OC-D

**Lextheimpaler**

Lol it illistrates the theme well then. the command sqd is awaiting dremeling and there new heads. they will serve as my company command

**Lextheimpaler**

Just about finshed my last inf sqd and the 2 command sqds

**Lexx**

The infantry look great with those Pig Iron heads. The AK variant lasguns are a nice touch. Great work.

**Reecius**

Very nice, and unique looking. Well done.
