Nice looking Nurgle tanks there Madmiral :mrgreen:

I realize the following is bound to make you all sad inside but I have to agree with some of the other posters. They don't look particularly revolutionary to me either. And apart from the actual grot models and a couple of pieces of plasticard here and they they don't look very Grot-esque either. As I mentioned, the current colour scheme looks Nurgly.

Advice: As the Spev suggests, faux-Soviet slogans would be one way. White stripes/arrows, combined with Cyrillic-looking (you could write a few letters backwards, everything mis-spelt etc) Grot sayings.
e.g. <==Vikktori=== ===Redd Orktober===>
You said you don't want to go too OTT with the gubbins etc but I think you have to at least somewhere near the top. pretty much everyone has said, more. We can't all be wrong.

P.S. If you keep up the good work M_I_J might include you in his list of recommended painters for when he is next out of town :D :D :D

Looking good mate.

I like the rust effect.

I still think they need some more colour to break it up. Red graffiti on the side of the tanks might do the trick.

The grots look good, but you might want to do their teeth in a different colour?
Other than that, they look cool. The GW minis off to the side dont really fit in very well with the soviet look though.

I like em. If you pick out their teeth (and highlight em, or at least wash em), theyll look much more "finished". The guns would definitely benefit from being a different colour. Black/dryrbrushed silver/washed brown is the obvious choice, but how about a nice soviet red? Thatd draw the eye to em...

not sure but most guns in I have seen do not have any silver on them... most are black... red guns seem a bit too "be cool" for me... I am thinking about them but black with may be a bit better that the green... there ins not way in the world I am going to paint them a metal color... there are no military weapons that are metal colored in the CCCP so there will be none in my grot army...
