A wee push to get this unit finished and the plan was to have one more, but time is marching on and it's been a hectic few weeks at work and I've had the cold so I've tweaked the OB and swapped a couple of units around. It's a demo game not a balanced scenario - the emphasis is on spectacle not balanced play!!!
I used army painter green spray to undercoat the unit rather than the graffiti spray I've used. It's a close match in terms of colour and these lads just needed a dicht of Vallejo Russian Uniform, some red, black, white, flesh, mahogany, oiled steel and brass to get them done. It's an easy uniform, but it is getting monotonous now. So this will be the last unit for a while. These are Crann Tara miniatures and are very straightforward to paint, nice and clean. I've popped an Ingo Russian in the shot too, just for comparison. A little chunkier but as I'm not mixing figs in units I don't mind. Had there been more poses and better sculpts from that range I'd have stuck with them for the line too.
Below are my Blotz limbers and Colonel Bill Draught Horses along with a Warbases gun and limber set and some other bits including a rather nice Austrian office I bought on EBay to go with my Austrian Grenzers. In the foreground are some Schaumburg Lipper Jäger which will pair up with my Carabiniers.
Very annoyingly the Blogger app is now defunct and I am using the web version instead - its rubbish and I have to go portrait to be able to type and see the whole post. Functionality wins users you corporate neeps!
