I'm going to reserve this space before there are too many replies. I don't have my models with me right now so no pictures. I might throw up some concept drawings that I made.
I'm building a Mechanized IG army based on the warsaw pact. I'm drawing a lot of inspiration from the period of East German history when they were armed and equipped with Soviet Russian weapons and eqiptment. Add in some Czech (lasguns with vz 58 style folding stocks) and Polish (wz 63 laspistols) army and we will have a regiment. A lot of the conversion focus is going to be on field gear, I always felt the plastic cadian models were under equpped (and I will also be making their armor less rediculous). I'm going to be converting them with winter scale of issue (thats commie speak for the stuff you wear) gas mask bags, bed rolls, bread bags, and a rifle sling (something I feel is missing as it is probably the most important 'tactical' accessories).
I'm probably going to shoot for a 750 point list of dismounted Motor Rifles and expand form there. I don't want to set the bar too high before I know what I am capable of finnishing, especially since I'm starting later than everone else. That and I have this lingering fear that they will get rid of the mechanized army in the new codex (and then how will I be able to practice soviet all arms motor rifles combat?).
So watch this post like NKVD, more information will be released in the future.
