What? Tyranids? Why Would I Be Posting Tyranids? Clearly My Next, Most Important Project Was Printing

What? Tyranids? Why would I be posting tyranids? Clearly my next, most important project was printing a full 256 man Macedonian Phalanx. Historia Civilis binges will do that to you, unfortunately

Hero Soviet Rifle Platoon is complete

I cannot believe that this is only 5 points of guys... I'm not sure how I'm going to survive this. I'm not sure how anyone fields full sized battalions of these guys either!

The command elements, including kommissar

Flames of War definitely leans on Hollywoodisms and vibe with their rules, which can get a little annoying and dehumanizing, but the appeal of little guys in more traditional back and forth wargames is alluring and nostalgic to me

Has anyone here had any experience with Battlegroup? I've heard it's a good alternative that's more crunchy

The ping ponging between projects continues, I got some paint on the Fodder I've been putting together using the official Turnip28 torsos that dropped a while back, mixed mainly with the free medieval infantry kits made by Ilhadiel and some other free bits from online

I'm thinking of going with the Parsnip Pistoliers for my regiment name

Shadowhawk SHD-2H

Shawks are kinda trash, but I've been doing Alpha Strike where they're much more average and viable, rather than an unfocused ammo bomb with bad jumpjets

I do adore the design, over the shoulder cannons are sick as fuck after all (Guncannon my beloved) but y'know, no props to them for that since it's just stolen from Fang of the Sun Dougram

Used some nice forest bases I bought on Cults to craft new hex bases for my mercs, and I'm pretty happy with the result, the medieval stonework look had been bugging me

Coftyran Cryfen LMG Rhyfler. It's quite nostalgic painting heavy metal minis again, which is largely why I'm doing "normal" bases instead of fancy 3d printed ones

45mm Soviet Anti Tank battery

In formation as part of the Hero Rifle Battalion, to provide basic light AT

They're going to be paired up with the in formation 82mm mortars and a pair of the 57mm guns for a decent mix. Honestly not a fan of the 76mm given the abundance of it in T-34s and KV-1s already

Sadly in late war I feel like these are almost a waste, better to drown cars and APC in PTRD or just bring real guns for big guys I think
