Nice concept though. Not sure about the sawn-off shotguns and the brother/comrade who prefers to use one rather than his AK-47K.

Interesting. i would expect soviets to put less decorations and 'Starz' :) on armour like that, but it echoes early soviet illustrations, cartoons, statues and propaganda posters.

They missed the opportunity to have the man on the shoulder pad having its own shoulder pad with man on it. And the double barrel shotgun would have had a bayonet shotgun. I bet GW would have done it that way.
It is. And it is not. When it is, and when it is not, is the question or the answer, or both or neither.

Perfect for the "unfinished NovoStalingrad" city fight :wink:

They like to keep shotguns handy for close encounters.

Personally not keen on the GW style.. would have preferred a more original take on powered armour with simpler more practical design.

Oh, this is terrible.


I actually quite like them... I don't even like space marines all that much...
