Russian counter-terror troops

Spurred by the imminent arrival of their Chechens, here are more of Eureka's modern Russian Federals, painted as an internal security unit. (Check out my earlier modern Russians here.)

There's no historical support for these paint-schemes and they're not based on any particular unit or time, but they look 'kewl'. The helmet is the Maska-1Sch. I gave the weapons wooden stocks so they would stand out a little more.
AK

AK with grenade launcher

PK MG

RPG-22

Here's a photo-dump of pics I used as inspiration and reference (Google Images is my friend):

Who knows what battle-hardened visages are hidden under that fearsome armour plating?


 Edit: Here's a pic of the boys in action:

  1. Great camo scheme... these are really well done, some of the best camo schemes I've seen in 15mm.

  6. Thanks guys, it's fun to paint some colours that makes figures stand out on the tabletop, yet remains quasi-historical!
