6mm Napoleonic Russians commission.

I was asked to do some more Napoleonics, this time Russians. The owner will base and add his own flags.

tarted these 10.30 Friday night, did the assembly, base coats and ink washes by about 1.
Saturday started at 09:30, worked through until 2ish when I walked the dog for two hours, then did another hour tidying up.
Machine mode?

As usual, the owner will be basing these, ready to fight Leipzig at the weekend!

Five units of cuirassiers (His Maj/Lifeguards, Her Maj, Mil order and two others)


"If we sneak in in column, no one will see us!"


Ready for action


"Has anyone got any idea where we are going?"


Ready to go
 
Three Cossack units and the generals finishes off the army pack. More are on their way I hear, once I post these to their owner.

Cossacks, red = Imperial Cossacks, blue = Don/Ukranian cossacks, green = any old Cossack that was passing...


Front on



Weird blur on the imperials...


Back end of a horse...


Generals


Follow the leader?


If you look carefully, I painted the telescope lens!


What's so interesting over there?
 
Three units of Russian Hussars done today, from the top, Marioupol, Alexandria and Ahtirka


Face on


Trot trot CHARGE!


Back of horses

54 figures in this batch, 6 units of Russian Dragoons, including (closest) St Petersberg Dragoons which captured 4(!) Eagles during the Napoleonic Wars.


Three standards are real, the second one is Irkusk, which not only is a great territory name in Risk, but were also described as the WORST Russian dragoons as their horses were steppe ponies! Three are made up to the 1800 pattern.


Horses


I actually enjoyed painting the saddle cloths on these, I must be mad


Advance in single file!

Infantry, only 240 of them, owner will be basing and adding own flags.


Face on

Thin dark green line..?

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain.  I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them   Mutant Zombie by CP Models Or just a mutant? Nota nice looking chap That's not going to clear up anytime soon! Nasty rash there Puss, but no boots   Thought Sharke needed some support, so when I ordered terrain from Alternative Armies, I added a certain Sergeant. He's a BIG unit!

Soldiers of Napoleon - Imperial Guard vs Austrians.

This time saw the first fielding of my new Young Guard. My plan was to adance the guard through the two villages, one brigade had deployed forwards in the centre to accomplish this; then swing in from the left with the Gauard Heay Cavalry brigade. Unfortunately, Mark had other ideas! He had deployed with his cavalry brigade screening forwards. Then it all really went his way.

Sometimes, the cards fall absolutely how you want them to, sometimes, they don't. Turn one and Mark had been dealt two sets of 'At the quick' special event cards, allowing a march and then a manouver (or vice versa) for three units. Exactly the amount of cavalry units in his brigade! Combined with a ...
