H&R Scorpion and Scimitar

Undercoated Scorpion (BM05) and Scimitar (BM06) from Heroics and Ros that will be used to represent the Blues and Royals in my Falklands games.  Seen here with (STILL) the only painted base of my UK Falklands infantry. (larger image when clicked)

Heroics and Ros Soviet Airborne

Here's a pack I had hidden in the cupboard since last year; the M7 Soviet Airborne Troops code from Heroics and Ros.
Upon opening it, I've found some great figures which open up a number of "paint" conversion options.
This is also an interesting pack of figures as, unlike most of the rest of the H&R moderns lines, it includes heavy weapons with regular infantry.
But enough of that!  What's in the pack? (click the pics for a bigger image)

Infantry -    All sporting the padded cloth helmet.  Four strips of these.

Heavy Weapons - DShK and SPG-9 with associated crews.  2 strips of these.

Heavy Weapons - Mortar and Sniper.  2 strips of these.

Heavy Weapons - ATGM teams (AT-4 maybe?) 1 strip of these.

It's a nice balanced pack in my view and a number of the figures (especially the sniper) in my view have utility as a range of different troops in different conflicts.  Hopefully more on that in the coming weeks as I experiment with them....
