15mm WW2 Russian Infantry in Summer Uniform IN PLASTIC

I was pleased to read that The Plastic Soldier Company have recently released 15mm WW2 Russian Infantry in Summer Uniform in plastic. Very nice they look too.

If you have read my (main) website recently you will know that I have started looking at and thinking about playing Flames of War (at the time of writing I have only done some modelling and reading the rules).

Now I am not actually playing Russians so these models are less useful than it would seem. However this is just the first release of many planned by The Plastic Soldier Company.

They are also intending to release, in 15mm in the near future:

  • T34 Tank boxed set
  • Late War British Infantry

I would suspect that we will see German stuff too, and a lot more if this stuff sells – which I suspect it will. That’s when I will be buying some… though slightly tempted by the T34 tanks.

Drybrushing the Deff Rolla

I did buy the Ork Battlewagon Upgrade Pack and decided to add the Deff Rolla to my Ork Battlewagon. Having given it a black undercoat, I drybrushed it with Tin Bitz.

The next stage was then to drybrush with Boltgun Metal.

See the full workbench feature on the Ork Battlewagon.

See photographs of completed Ork Battlewagons from various shows.

Space Marine Stormraven – Photo leaked

There have been lots of rumours about the Stormraven. It is looking like Games Workshop made an error and accidentally uploaded a photograph of the new model to their website.

Stormraven

Looks quite nice really. Obviously has elements of the Thunderhawk within the design. A little tall perhaps?

The Stormraven Gunship is an incredibly versatile craft, able to fulfill the roll of orbital dropship, armoured transport and strike aircraft in a way that few, or indeed any, ships could hope to match. The Stormraven ensures that the Blood Angels remain undisputed masters of the skies, as dominant in the air as their troops are on the ground. Smaller and nimbler than the more cumbersome Thunderhawk Gunships, the Stormraven’s compact hull and vectored thrusters enable it to operate at maximum efficiency in all but the densest terrain. A Stormraven can often be seen hurtling straight into the heart of the enemy forces, unleashing its considerable arsenal in a terrifying display of firepower, before disgorging a squad, Dreadnought, or even both, into the thick of the fighting.

With its potent firepower, speed and transport capacity, the uses of a Stormraven on the battlefield are myriad, but its role of choice is as an unparalleled assault vehicle. With a huge variety of weapon options, and no less than four tank-busting Bloodstrike Missiles, both enemy infantry and vehicles alike fear drawing the attention of its guns. A transport capacity of 12 combined with the ability to safely carry a Dreadnought to battle as well certainly proves the Stormraven to be a transport vehicle of the very finest quality.
