Finished up the dismounted version of the first platoon of cossacks. The plan is to get two mounted and two dismounted as the core of a 1000 point force. Later, as more gets painted, I can use the stuff I've got to give me the option to dismount in game.
Work got going in earnest again this week, but despite this, managed to get these guys done. The lack of horses does make the painting go quicker.
I did some head swaps on these. Battlefront only makes models for the mounted and dismounted cossack platoons, but there are a number of other cossak units. Two that I plan to include in the 1000 point list are 57mm AT guns and 82mm mortars. In order to make the gun teams fit in, I figured I'd use some head swaps and creative painting. The helmeted heads on the regular cossack platoons aren't seem to work ok, as I've seen several pictures of cossack units wearing helmets.
It's a start ;)
Really nice as always. The head swaps fit in well, look very smooth and are a great idea to keep the whole army consistent.
ReplyDeleteExcellent painting!! The headswaps really make a difference to the unit, nice one!!
