Bedecon 2012- Russian Assault Guns!

Well, Bedecon is just around the corner (ish), so it was time to do some painting. I got an email from the organiser (Bede, hence the name) that we had an influx of German players, but not enough Soviets. With absolutely NONE of my Germans for Bedecon finished, I decided that I could switch to bringing a Soviet Army, and that would be really good to spend more time on that force, perhaps for another tournament later in the year.

So, Russians. There are a lot of very cool Russian Lists, which Craig is currently struggling with, but for me, I had always had one list in mind.


And it is all based on the ISU-152. With a 152mm gun, firing a massive 2 part shell, capable of annihilating entire buildings!

So, a Heavy Assault Gun Company was the only way to go. Painting was all finished up last night, so here is the break down of the force.

Company HQ- 1 IS-II with DsHK MG



Heavy Assault Gun Company- 4 ISU-152 with DsHK MGs



Heavy Assault Gun Company- 4 ISU-152 with DsHK MGs



Tankovy Company- 5 T34/85, 2 T34/76



Heavy Assault Gun Recon Platoon- 2 Squads, Trucks and a Captured 221 (BA-64)



As well as two objective markers




So, the whole army...



So, 1750 points of Soviets painted, ready and rearing to go for Bedecon. Now they are off to sit in a box, in Wellington to lie in wait for when Bedecon starts!

Next up? Polish Artillery for the Borodino game, I have to get a fair few guns done for next weekend! Which is soon....
