Bolt Actions Soviet Assault Engineers with a head swap (the heads are from the WGF plastic Soviets).
BA minis are IMO good, but not as good as they were, the newer heads have - at least for my taste - a too comic like look, the expressions are exaggerated. Therefore the headswap.
I also wanted some female Engineers...
Not sure if female engineers in the Soviet army are historical correct, but I like them anyway.

I am planning to do some Berlin 1945 games and these tough Soviets are going to see some action in some serious play testing of my upcoming squad level Victory Decision book.
I tinkered for years on a slightly more detailed system/ expansion of the ViDe rules, time to test them out.
The initial play tests will be in the Berlin 45 setting. Elite Soviets vs Volkssturm and Hitler Youth, Soviets vs German Veterans, elite vs Veterans etc etc.

Very well done, thanks for sharing.

Very nice work! I'm not familiar with the look of the original heads, but your choice works perfectly. Good luck with the rule tweaks!

Really nice figures, a lot of effort has gone into them & it shows, well done.
