Russian Artillery (Part 1)

Good day and good week guys!!!

While searching of what to paint during last weekend, I came up with the idea of restructuring my armies in a more elaborate way.

I already have plenty of elements (artillery guns, A/A guns, A/T guns, machine guns etc.) for my armies, but until now, these were not coherent and organized in a compact way (I am not referring to any music...).

This is why I decided to take a pencil and a piece of paper (well, to be exact it was an Excel sheet) and try to make sub units for these armies (Artillery, A/A guns, A/T guns, Snipers, Tanks, Halftracks etc.).

First things first I decided to go with artillery units. And so I went to my local hobby shop and I bought some new figs and models (starting from Russian Artillery - in dirt bases).

I got two of Zvezda's Soviet 122mm Howitzers (I still need two to make a normal battery section), and Hat's WW1 Russian Infantry Heavy Weapons Set (It may be for WW1, but some figs can be used accordingly, such as officers).

I still need to buy two more howitzers, some crew figures (Orion's 72041 Soviet Artillery crew), and some GAZ trucks (still working on where to buy them from).

Below, you will find some photos of my newly painted latest acquisitions.

I hope you like them!
