Game Day 09/08/08

This isn’t a battle report as such but as this represents the first VOR game I have played in over 5 years I thought it justified giving the day its own page. The games 750points 3-way between Mocaiv’s Zykhee, Bootcamp’s Growlers and my own Neo Soviets. Setup Roling to see who set up made us all […]

Shard | Scrollmaster

  I been thinking for a long time about how to paint the Axion mini I bought shortly after Golden Growler UK 2001. I had an idea base around an illustration of a shard I did. The idea was to paint the whole Axion as I would paint a jewel. I would paint a jewel by painting it […]

Yuri Alibek – Ghost of The Great Bear

  At Golden Growler UK 2001 we were fortunate enough to get a blister with three prototype VOR minis: A Golem (the only Golem mini as far as I know), an old version Union soldier and an old version of a Vanguard. The Vanguard mini is somewhat bulkier than the later Vanguard minis making him the perfect […]

Typhoon with Tempest Mortar

The new and improved Typhoon I was not happy with the result of the previous Typhoon I made. First of all the mini didn’t really came out as I wanted it to be, Second, I think the Chaingun is too short range for a battle crawler. The only real option is the Mortar. On the left you […]

Officer Gulyayev

   The XIAO 3.14PI miniature is from the VOID range and is the best female miniature ever made, only Dragyri females from Dark Age come close, she is just perfect in all ways and I really wanted her in my army, so I turned her into a Neo Soviet officer carrying a Hammer and a Sickle.

Officer Kalinkov and Rad Hound

  I didn’t like the face of the Officer (sorry) so I replaced the face with a mask using a Cyclops head. I removed the Viper and replaced it with the handle of a Khorne Beserker Chainsword with a Boltgun bit on top. This is ofcourse the leash to his Rad hound, which i have […]

Kommander Jancovich

   The Kommander has had his head replaced with a head from a Vindicare Assassin because to me Kommanders would always have the best equipment in the Neo Soviet army so it seemed odd he didn’t have a gas mask as well. I then used the a Vangaurd arm holding a Kalashnikov to arm the […]

Chem Grunts

I painted two out of the three Chem Grunts in rags. The third was painted in an old white doctor coat, he is probably one of those few nutcases who sign up volunterily for the Chem grunts.

Vanguards

Larger photo The Vanguards have the same basic clothing colours as the Rad Troopers but with better painted armour plates to show that although they still have crap equipment it is by far better than the Rad Troopers equipment. Some of the Vanguards have hand a “hand-job” to give them rad grenades and one have had his […]

Cyclops

I want the cyclops to stand out from the rest of the Neo Soviets as something unholy and something that shouldn’t have been made/ created. To do that I choose to paint them in a very drastic colour scheme, starting with black and highlighting all the way to white to make the look really rough […]
