Soviet Assault Walker (15 mm)
"The war walkers produced by Allies and Axis alike captured the interest of Comrade Stalin, and he ordered production of a 'robot' to support mass infantry charges. The Christie walking suspension was overly costly for Soviet production, so a simpler non-transforming leg mechanism was devised, and the walkers transported over distances by trucks. Armament varied; this one carries a 20 mm ShVAK autocannon and a rocket launcher adapted from a captured German Nebelwerfer. Due to the walkers' awkward toddling gait they gained the nickname "Iron Baby" among Soviet soldiers. Operation required considerable skill, and drivers enjoyed being considerably less expendable than their comrades on foot." This is a conversion from a Khurasan Miniatures sci-fi walker. I just generally down-tech'ed it, gave it a more gas-powered look, and built the Nebelwerfer out of sprue.
