Standard armed Spetsnaz? From the concepts we've seen I'd say nope. The concept for the Ambushed version featured Sniper Rifle and HMG as weapons. The paratrooper version had a rifle and a boarding shotgun. So I would guess 4 individual blisters.

Same here, I can't decide if it's that the weapons look really oversized to me, or that the whole model just seems to have some odder proportions than Infinity tends to.
Gun is way oversized. I have put 1/35 sized weapons on these miniatures and even they are smaller.
I mean just check out the ejection port on the gun. What's it shooting, .50 cal rounds?
Probably better to just get some modern 1/35 weapons if you want something recogniseable but not hideously oversized. The Ariadna guns are also way too blocky in design compared to what's out there at the moment.
www.live-resin.com makes some absolutely amazing 1/35 scale weapons and accessories. I am going to use a few of them for my Ariadna dudes (Scar-L for Merovingian's, HK416 for USAriadna, AK-74 Variants for Kossacks (Veterans/Tank Hunters might get the HK416 as well), and the Caledonians can get whatever.

Yeah, I'm not seeing it, looks fine to me. Its a sniper rifle, so its going to be pretty big. And he isn't wearing superheavy armor either, so despite being on the slightly bulky side he isn't huge. I think it looks right.
The supressor and marker tubes on the end might be throwing it off a little?

Infinity guns have always been outsize, much like 40K, it is part of the style. This particular example looks a bit more unusual because it is not an SF kind of weapon.

I think 'always' is a bit misleading there. I know the first generation equipment was definitely oversized, but they've been slimming that down a LOT with the newer models. The weapons on my Barid and my Bounty Hunter are properly proportioned.

The feet jumped out at me too, as did the hands, but I kept looking back and really can't decide what it is that doesn't look right. There's definitely something off though.
Fenriswulf, if you're keen on current military weapons for Ariadna, Hasslefree do some SA80/L85s that might do for your Caledonian troops.
The shoulder pad of the Spetznazs seems to be the problem to me. It throws off the contour of the model. I'm guessing its just a poor angle is all. Something about the colour also throws me off. The blues and greens with the black face just don't do it for me.

I don't understand what you're trying to say there...
This here's the new painted terrain. something like that should have a lot more weathering [the full AFV model treatment, not a little bit of rust]. The NMM is terrible, not just a technique unsuited for terrain but also far too cartoony and unrealistic. the edge highlighting is really thick.In addition the shadows on the green are too strong, but I think that might be just the lighting.
Compared to the figure painting it's awful.

The edge highlights are a bit much. The lack of weathering? Meh. An overused technique IMHO. Military units actually maintain their equipment. Rust and flaking paint and other 'weathering' is seen all to often these days. Besides Infinity is in the Cheerful Brightness. No room for rust.
- Suryat w/ combi rifle+LFT (surprisingly not a box - just single blister)
- O-12 Commissioner (bootleg)
- Nikaul sniper
The scout certainly needs a resculpt. The Hipster- Mutts? I must say I am intrigued. The O-12 Commissioneer is a bootleg? But, the concept art, not cheesecake. I though the face looked a bit Steven Seagal like.
Well if we were being realistic in terms of military structure. It would be spraypainted all one color and then have some random ID code stenciled on it.

That scout is one of my favorite miniatures in the whole game. Definitely my favorite Ariadna mini. Simplistic, yet perfect.
