EW Soviet Tanks

Throwback Thursday

A couple of years ago the local boys came up with an idea for a team EW tournament.  It would be a smaller 1250 pt affair.  I excitedly put together a new Soviet list.  This would be a good excuse to paint up some of those T-35s I had been eyeing for awhile.

Unfortunately, one person canceled after another until the whole affair was forgotten.  I did manage to complete the new Soviet tank list.  I never have played it...

Most Soviet players list their progress in infantry stands.  Mine was measured in MG turrets.

T-28 Platoon.

I tried out a  few new weather techniques when I built these.  

Tiny tanks!

I used Panzer putty for the camo pattern on this little guy.

Not sure why, but the decals on his one came out looking pretty bad.  I did my usual: gloss-decal-setting solution- gloss, but that didn't seem to help.

The artillery!

I think I went a little too heavy with the dust effect on these guys.  Also finished them and realized I had forgotten decals!

Drive closer!  I want to shoot them with my pistol!

Longer than a King Tiger!

Quite a variety in size with this list.

When I opened one of my boxes of T-35 they were missing the side tracks!  I emailed BF about getting the parts and was told they were waiting on a production run.  I had two wait over a year, but they did eventually send me two more boxes of T-35s.  I may have gotten frustrated with BF from time to time, but they always seem to come through in the end!

In addition to all those T-35s I have some up-gunned/up-armored turrets for my T-28.  It would not be too difficult to bring things up to a higher points level.  The project is on hold for now.  I may come back to it some day.
