Russians Pt.4- Rifle Squad 2

Rifle Squad 2

Here is my second Rifle Squad. There's a fair bit of the same as the previous squad here, and I admit, I got a bit fed up of painting plastic riflemen at this point and moved onto something different. Squads three and four have gone on the backburner, as a result!

The NCO has a knife-holding arm from the Warlord Siberian Veteran box. Why he needs both a knife and a bayonet is anyone's guess, but he stands out as an NCO and looks quite fearsome.  He also has a metal backpack from the Siberian box.

The soldier in the fourth picture has metal arms supplied in the Siberian box that allow him to be charging full-tilt with bayonet drawn. I like his pose and determination.

A little while later, I bought a box of Warlord's Winter Infantry to include some greatcoats into my army. I used some in my SMG squads and intend to add two or three to each Rifle squad. This will free up models to form a good portion of my third Rifle squad which I can then pad out with new figures. I also intend to include a few metal figures from Bad Squiddo, to add some female soldiers to the mix. Again, this will free up some ready-painted guys to roll into squads three/ four.
