Russians Pt.5- Tank Riders

Tank Rider Squad

These are the guys that I picture when I imagine Soviets during WW2. When I found that you could field then in BA, I was very happy. In smaller games, I use them as an SMG squad instead, and I have come to value the barrage of fire that they can unleash at close quarters and in melee. My plan is to have two squads eventually. I built the squad initially from Warlord Soviet Infantry, but then returned to them with Winter Infantry in greatcoats for some variation. As a result, I have the good part of a second squad painted with the figures I moved out to allow the greatcoats, so will finish them off one day...

Another addition was a couple of female SMG troopers from Bad Squiddo. Once their latest Kickstarter completes, I'll have a few more ladies to add to this force... The soldier striking with the butt of his PPSh has metal arms from the Siberian Veterans box. As always, the NCO has a red base rim for identification.
