From NormS: A WWII Soviet 2 man base in 28mm (10 points)

I am presently working on a 20 man Napoleonic unit that will fetch me 100 points if I can get it done it time for the challenge ending (a holiday is looming, so the race is on!), but at the moment that would still leave me 10 points away from my 400 point challenge goal …. So I have injected those needed 10 points here.

These are the new Soviet WWII sculpts in plastic from Warlord Games. They gave a promotional free sprue away on last months Wargames Illustrated Magazine, so I though I would have a dabble, making them up as basic riflemen, though the sprue has all kinds of options from sniper to panzerfaust armed troops.

These are based at 40mm wide by 30mm deep and it was intended as a bit of a trial to see how a smallish two man base would look / work for the Rapid Fire Reloaded rules for my smaller table and against my current terrain.

The base is plastic (from Kallistra). As the figures are free standing and do not have their own puddle base, I thought a plastic weld glue between plastic figure’s feet and a plastic base might give the strongest bond. 

Anyway, here they are easy to put together and I quite like the look. Whether or not they become the next project ….. who knows!

Total for submission 10 points

Thanks Norm.

Very nice work here Norm, and a good use for freebie figures as a test to see if you want to spend your own money on 'em. In my experience though the answer has usually been "yes" which leads to a new project... but you do you! Anyway I quite like the uniform colour you've used and the groundwork on the base also looks great.

Ten big ones for your account, may they stand you well!
