As my loyal reader may recall, I spent what hobby time I had available over the Christmas - New Year period on rebasing the cavalry from the Prodigal Foundry Collection. I've already posted on the British cavalry, both Heavy and Light Brigades, so it's time for the Roosians to make their bow.
In total there are four regiments, each of four bases of three figures. As far as us possible I've organised the figure layout to facilitate units of six figures utilising officers and NCO types as command on two bases. The regiments consist of Dragoons, Uhlans, Hussars and Cossacks ~
There remains one unit of Dragoons by Great War Miniatures in the Lead Pimple, gifted me by chum Colin Ashton (at Carryings on up the Dale blog). I'd like to add more Cossacks in due course, possibly the Foundry ones with lances as I fear the GWM's ones will dwarf the Foundry figures, but we will have to see. In the meantime a photo which I hope captures the look of the Roosian cavalry on the tabletop battlefield ~
And finally, a bit of a fripary in the form of additional details added to a Foundry Dragoon casualty just for interest ~
Rooshuns, tharsunds of 'em, a job well done Sarh!

DeleteEnjoyed the parade and like the banner ….. worth a +1 on the morale :-)
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Norm, glad you enjoyed seeing them.
DeleteSome fine target practice for the 93rd there.
ReplyDeleteYou are probably right with my current dice luck!
DeleteSlightly naughty indeed……lovely stuff David, I do like the 3 figures per base which I might use for some Napoleonics and sensible to spread the command figures in my view allowing smaller 6 man units 👍
ReplyDeleteAlways good to find a fellow in agreement with how I've tackled something Matt, many thanks!
DeleteLooking good David…
ReplyDeleteIt’s also nice to get an idea of how the new building looks beside the figures.
All the best. Aly
Thanks Aly. I think the building size is ok. In the range are bigger and smaller choices though...
DeleteGreat to see these all rebased and finished and they look really rather lovely:).
ReplyDeleteMany thanks as always SteveJ!
DeleteA fine looking parade sir! Even if they are Roosian....They'll look splended in action I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteThey refused to budge in the first game!
