Some Senior Ivans...

...together with some Rifle battalion skirmisher bases for my Crimean War Roosians have made it safely across the painting desk and are ready to muster into GHQ. Let's face it, the weather over the last several days has not been conducive to slaving over the painting desk! In these circumstances progress with this project of any kind is not to be sneered at. As it is I managed to complete four bases of Roosian Rifle Battalion figures to deploy as skirmishers for the Roosians ~

The figures are from Great War Miniatures via North Star as ever and the bases are from Warbases. There are 12 more in the painting queue to finish, so look out for the whole unit's worth in due course.

I also continued with my approach in mixing into the painting queue various Command stand figures, in this case two mounted and two foot figures to form the Roosians' Army Commander-in-Chief stand ~

Details as to figures and bases are as above of course. I suppose this means that I must work the Army Command stand figures for the British army into the schedule now, again a combination of mounted and foot figures. They will be a while yet though...

  3. Great looking figures. The seniors and their ADC add a splash of colour to the Russian horde,and,as always, the basing is sublime
