White Russian Cossacks (15mm)

Yes more painted figures for Matt as part of his ever growing Russian Civil war collection.  The figures are all 15mm and from Peter Pig. One was slightly damaged on arrival to me, so a very slight repair was carried out. And now it is hardly noticeable and not noticeable at all unless you are actually looking for it!

16 figures in all and while they should have grey and even black lambs wool on the head gear IN ADDITION to the white shown only a true rivet counter would really care about such a thing and having checked with Matt he is happy with the all white sheepskin hats. Again If we were really being picky they should also have white crosses inside the red of their hats but at this scale they would not actually bee seen. So I have left them out.  it would be like adding eyes to 15mm figures. I am sure some painters do but in all honesty I do not!

I am back on 28mm figures for a while, both historical and walkers. Starting them all today. So with luck they should be seen by the end of the week.

If you Live in the UK enjoy the Bank Holiday. With luck see you soon.

Best wishes Clint

  1. Whilst not really my "thing" I can't deny that these are very well painted and they look very effective all grouped up together. I'll be enjoying my day doing lots of hobby work!

    1. Thank you Bryan. I realise not your thing but I will be starting my first "Walker" today as well. (That I am sure IS your thing).

  2. They look fab, Clint, and should certainly draw the eye on the tabletop when charging towards the opposition. Lovely stuff :-)

    1. Thank you Simon. I suspect they may be bullet magnets drawing so much fire the normal infantry can advance untroubled.

  4. Great to see a full unit all in one go!
    These do look good en masse and do look the part.

    1. Thank you Joe. All colours taken from books never seen them or their uniforms in real life so your comment is very gratifying.

  5. Wow, superb looking Cossacks, and the Russian civil war period is so nice...we unfortunalty play this period only once every 2 or 3 years!

    1. Thank you Phil. We only play about once a year, I am not fully convinced by the rules the club uses.

    1. Thank you Andy. Yesterday I painted a walking dead, (almost completely) and watched Jason and the Argonauts! Sounds like you may have been more productive!
