These Heroics and Ros 6mm Soviet Airborne Infantry were the final part of the break from ancients. I think the time and detailing of these tiny soldiers got me back into the detailed work of my 20mm ancients.
These are nice figures they are moulded with the padded soviet airborne helmet but I don't have any of the vehicles for airborne regiment so I decided to paint them up as generic infantry in an attempt at KML style uniform with helmets. For the helmets I just blobbed some dark green paint on a couple of times which seemed to do the trick and the uniforms a light green with some beige dots. The webbing was done in a sandy colour and were washed with a brown wash to give some shading.
I have some more H&R Soviet infantry codes to paint up they are trimmed and ready to be based so this is not the end of the moderns I was just ready to return to 20mm ancients. I also have ready the infantry's fighting vehicles BMP1's and BMP2's when I'm ready from another break from 20mm ancients. I liked how quickly I could paint up the 6mm AFV's and the boost to productivity was a nice change from projects that seem to drag on with multiple colours and highlights which is not a bad thing just time consuming.
