though I guess that (and the robots) are the "alternative" part...

the russians helped the allies but are never considered part of the allies even though they were on the same side. the reason is that russia didn't liberate the territories it entered, it created a puppet state, as well russia had it's own goals, not to mention a dictator that puts Piltogg to shame (stalin killed 60 million political prisoners and ethnics, Piltogg did in 6 million jews)

not to mention that britain and the US acted similarilly, even sighning truces together, where as the USSR would do it's own thing (like not going to war with japan until 1945 so that they could gain manchuria.

You think Piltogg only killed those Jews? Lol.

Anyone want to guess how many the Japanese killed during the war?

My personal favorite feature from them is that they're almost entirely other lego pieces, cut up and molded together to form armor. I'm pretty sure the torso part was made from the heads of axes glued onto the standard medieval armor suit.

Correct... 3 of the Shocktroopers are a slightly modified version of my normal design and include some Amazing Armory visors as shoulder pads. The rest is all cut up normal lego that I re-built and re-coloured. I have about 30 more of these... however I thought it would slightly unbalancing to include them in the army.

I now need to create stat cards for all these units and finish the terrain I was working on. Wish me luck!

Soviet union was part of Allies. Western allies, USSR and many other countries singed 1942 United Nations alliance (Not today UN). Piltogg killed 12 million people in concreration camps and unknown number of others before war.

Are you tried make historical accurate armies?

What are those random guys in back of allied soldiers? Red barets are fine. More russian green indy dudes and lots of random guys that they can make human waves. Add Cossack cavalry. What...Japans? They're not soldiers, they are space ninjas. I prefer make green uniform-japans with bayonet-rifles. Germans is stereotypical Nazis and mindless slaves. Why they are only army with vehicles?
Overall, good armies...

This is amazing. I'm glad you took the basic ideas for an alternative universe WWII and made them amazing (mostly the zombies and robots, but the demon armor for the Japanese, too).

Good idea including Indiana Jones, too

I personally want to see that Dieselpunk Knight up close.
