In the Box: Warlord's 28mm WW2 Plastic Russians

I purchased this box at Hot Lead:

Let's see what's inside. You get 5 sprues with 8 figures each:

There's one prone, two kneeling, two running, and three standing poses. There's lots of nice detail and minimal flash. Because it's hard plastic, dealing with the flash is very easy. There are 13 heads for these 8 figures (8 of which are in helmets) and plenty of arms. This sprue contains some pouches and shovels that you can add to customize your figures. Let's take a close up of the some of the figures:

There is also 3 sprues of weapons and enough bases for the figures. The weapons sprues contain one LMG, one AT rifle, bayonetted and unbayonetted rifles, SMGs, pistols, and other stuff. It even includes a flaming Molotov cocktail.

Let's have a close up of some of the weapons:


Overall, this is a very nice pack and and good value. I have only one disappointment with it. Unfortunately, 3 of the 8 figures are dressed for winter and the other 5 are dressed for summer. I would have much preferred buying a full summer box or a full winter box. I notice that my MMG figures are dressed for winter so maybe my Russians will just have to campaign in early spring or late fall.
