Interesting looking miniatures.

Not sure about the bare heads.. but look like a possible new addition to my Incursion forces.

Love to see anything SoTR related, but there are times I do wish they'd 'sharpen' up their sculpting.

The helmeted heads look good though, and I love seeing the Anti-Mech Rifle in play!

Looks better with helmets and masks than bare fat heads with field caps. The RPG also looks puny, but the others look good.

The legs look like they belong to your tyipcal Oprah viewer.

Now that you mention it.. They look painful to wear and operate.

Painful is an understatement. Just look at Packed Dushka's leg/waist connection. The poor man's legs have been dislocated so much they don't even line up to his body properly!

Having said that I do like the look of them

LOL

This was posted up several months ago I believe. Were I an ork player and these guys plastic, I would see the beginnings of MegaNob conversions here. Not that Robo-Commies isn't fun in and of itself -

Yeah, they could just be legless under there, wired into their suits for the good of the motherland.

The anti-mech rifle is really cool. Lots of conversion potential for that bit.

Does anyone follow this game-world/system? I'm curious if
these guys are supposed to have legs or if they're amputees or
something. Amputated russian soldiers in exo-suits = cool.

Lizard hips are never a good look, unless you're a lizard.

Seriously?

No - they are 'normal' people in those suits. See my earlier comments on the West Wind team's sculpting ability/style/etc.!

c'mon folks! Sometimes you just have to get a little bow-legged for the motherland!

I love to go swimmin with bow legged
soviet exo suits

I swim between the legs!
I swim between the legs!

Considering how Soviet tanks were known for eating the arms of the loaders, I wouldn't be too surprised to find one does have to give up use of one's legs to pilot these

Gotta say I love these figures, but agree that the bareheads look naff compared to the other ones, and the RPG does look a bit wee, but overall - nice!

I can't help thinking that the helmet/gasmask heads do give them a bit of a Nurgly feel though...maybe a conversion idea there?

Usually Im a fan of Russian/Soviet stuff...but these arent working for me. The leg/body joint is all wrong. The RPG is comically small.

Decent idea, but completely ruined by the legs. I have several projects going that would allow me to use figures like these, but these sculpts aren't up to par.
