Hi all,
I found myself needing a beak from painting 28mm, and turned, perhaps predictably, to 6mm, specifically my Napoleonic Russians.
I painted up a brigade of grenadiers. The Russians fielded both dedicated grenadier regiments, and converged. This brigade is made up of battalions from the Moscow and Kiev grenadier regiments.
Along with the grenadiers, I also painted up my first brigade of cuirassiers, made up of squadrons from the Little Russia and Novgarod regiments.
As with all of my units, these are based off of those that operated in the 1813 campaign.
As I was wrapping these up, the Victrix Vikings arrived, and promptly took over my hobby desk. I've put together several, and will have a post on them soon.

Great to see you back to 6mm Napoleonics. Lovely stands.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Jonathan - just realized I need to clean up the flag edges.
DeleteLovely Russians!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Was feeling a little rusty, as it's been a while, but they turned out all right, I think.
DeleteGreat looking Russians in this grand scale, Markus! I had considered doing Russians in this or similar scale when Warlord released their plastic ACW 13-15mm range - hoping they'd do Napoleonics too. Alas, I got impatient and succumbed to picking up 28mm Russians from Perry instead.
ReplyDeleteIf it's any consolation, I have to remind myself daily not to cave and do 28mm napoleonic skirmish . . . ;)
DeleteIf one is going to do the little guys, THIS is the way to do them!
ReplyDelete(So... that's not fancy white lace trim on the flags?)
Sadly, no - but thanks for the vote of confidence ;)
DeleteGood job on the Russians.
ReplyDeleteIt’s just like Vikings to take over wherever they land. I’m interested how you found putting them together as they looked a little fidily to me.
The main fiddly bit is that some bodies only take certain parts; once you get a handle on which ones are "special", it flows pretty smoothly.
DeleteAbsolutely splendid looking units Markus.
ReplyDeleteRegards, James
Cheers, James! They're always fun to put together.
DeleteGorgeous looking Napoleonic Russians!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers, Iain!
