So; with my Tau army project winding down - not much left to paint
- I'm looking for a new project. Always having been fond of the look and the 'behind the iron curtain' mystique of the Soviet armies from my youth, the plan is to build an 'imperial guard' army, based in East Germany or Poland, 1987. These are the plans so far:
Lehman russes will be mixed versions of T72's and T80's; yes, I know they're smaller, but they look so good =P Might do something with basing to make them fair.
Buses will be BMP-1, 2, 3's, maybe some of the wheeled APC's too
Hydras will be Tunguskas and ZSU-23's
Valkyries will be Hinds
Basilisks will be 2S19 Msta's
Manticores will be either SA-6 or TOS-1 Buratino's:
But I really want some Demolishers - our local house rules really make them shine. But what model to use?
There's the BTR-T, which is kinda designed for what the Demolisher will be used for - urban warfare - but looking at the rl vehicle really doesn't have me convinced. Also, it would be an anachronism, as it appeared after the first Chechen war (1994-6).
,So - ideas for 1987 Soviet Demolishers?
