Just thought I'd post another pandemic painting update...even though CanGames was up in the air I still wanted to be ready to run a Zona Alfa game just in case restrictions on gatherings became loosened up.
Well, even with the confirmation, I still wanted to keep up steam on mu painting and the idea of running a table presented me with the motivation/reason/excuse to break out a Cadian Shock Trooper box that I bought at one of my first CanGames. I had seen some pretty interesting paint schemes and mods on these troops and when I saw them on discount, I totally jumped on them.
Given the idea of using them in the Zona Alfa setting got me wondering on how to best paint them up...having spent quite a bit of time researching the Soviet-Afghan war, my mind went towards using the Soviet VDV Paratroopers and Spetznaz. Surprisingly, these troops had a wide variance in dress regs and kit outs...and like any soldier in any theatre, what works tended to stick. So, this gave me a chance to try my hand at replicating the various uniforms and those awkwardly awesome looking tennis shoes.
I hope you enjoy the pics...
