The Black Guard Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Well a battalion consists of max: 3 HQs 6 Troops 6 Elites 3 Fast Attack 3 Heavy Support and 2 Flyers That's if you mean "full battalion full equipped" to be the max a battalion can fit then something like this is what I would do: 3 Company Commanders (one with the MK 45 relic) 4 Infantry Squads 2 30 man conscripts Whatever elites you want really- maybe some ratlings bullgryns, priests and astropaths? Spam hellhounds/other variants (you could fit 9 into a battalion) Again you could fit 9 Leman Russes in if you really wanted to or more artillery based ie mortars and basilisks And for flyers Valkyries. Sounds fun. For models from anvil it depends what theme you want to go with - classic russian winter look or you can do anything you like really! For typical russian ideas: http://anvilindustry.co.uk/Regiments/Infantry-Heads-Helmets/ushanka http://anvilindustry.co.uk/Regiments/Torsos/winter-greatcoat http://anvilindustry.co.uk/Regiments/Infantry-Legs/long-greatcoat-legs-advancing also victoria miniatures: https://victoriaminiatures.com/collections/regiments-of-the-galaxys-finest/products/svargan-shock-soldats-10-man-squad GW has discontinued production of metal regiments such as vostroyans, steel legion, and Valhallans that's why there aren't any.

Halfpint100 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 The black guard has it covered. At the moment with GW you have to get cadians and call them valhallans instead of cadians which kind of sucks really. But hey ho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noigrim Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Why don't you use 28mm soviets instead? Far cheaper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranulf Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Bite the bullet, sell a kidney and buy the original models off eBay. Shouldn't cost you any more than a second hand car or an overseas holiday. -Ran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Closet Skeleton Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 The Visor heads... they just look too cool not to use in my opinion. Maybe I'll mix them up: regular ushankas, gasmasks, and visors all together. There is a gasmask trooper in the original metal valhallan range.
