Hi all,
Had an urge to break out some 6mm Russians, and paint a little historical stuff. Managed to finish a couple of units of infantry, the Azovskiy, and Chernigovskiy regiments.

| Azovskiy |

As it turns out, these are the only Russian infantry I have - the bunch of stuff I got last year was heavy on Russian cavalry, but short on walkers. There's a couple of things I can do about this (aside from the obvious "buy more"). One is to build a cavalry-focused force (which is an option for Maurice), while the other is to make a combined Russian-Austrian army. As I'm working roughly from the OOB for Kunersdorf (where the two armies were actively integrated), the latter makes some sense (especially given I have a crapton of Austrians).

| I always forget how much I like painting these guys. |
With these guys finished, I'll likely turn to some cossacks, and then maybe a little 40k painting. The Cub and I got the new Shadowspear box for our birthdays, and the chaos models are looking pretty good, especially the obliterators.

No we are talking! Very good to see your SYW Russians mustering off the table. A combined Russo-Austrian force sounds perfect. The Kunersdorf anniversary coming up this summer, good timing too! I plan an anniversary Kunersdorf refight this summer as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jonathan! I hadn't considered an actual re-fight, but might have to look to book off August 12 now ;)
DeleteGreat looking units, mass effect is awesome...
ReplyDeleteCheers, Phil. They generally look their best when there's a pile of them on the table.
DeleteGreat work, the colors look splendid. Echoing Jon, we are planning to do Kunersdorf this year for the 260th anniversary. It seemed a great way to get my Russian Army on the field.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing that!
DeleteLooking very nice! Of course, if you want a really large Austro-Russian army, you should come back to Toronto and combine with mine. :P
ReplyDeleteOr you could come out here . . .
DeleteLovely looking Russians! Looking forward to your Austrians!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Stay tuned in a couple of weeks ;)
DeleteThe monk does it again, excellent.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I find 6mm units are good for my soul - I can finish them quickly enough it feels like I'm getting things done!
