Foot Cossacks For the Deluge

 Back from the basing department, been waiting a while for these Cossacks to come back. An eclectic mix of manufacturers they work quite well together.

Still trialling the lights and so photos from both the tablet and mobile phone are presented here.

I like bunching these guys up so they are in a fairly solid mass but not quite as regularly spaced and formal as a regular unit.
The range of figures used includes Wargames Foundry, Old Glory, The Assault Group, Redoubt and even the odd Perry Russian peasant from their retreat from Moscow range. They actually all mix quite well I feel.
The banner is from a sheet of Polish Flags and Cossack Religious banners sold on ebay, nice flags although the m,aterial is magazine paper which is not really ideal.
So thats the tablet and below are the phone pictures which are slightly sharper with a bit more colour generally.




I particularly like the Officer who is Old Glory and the standard bearer who is a Perry Russian Peasant.

This chap with the pipe and sword over his shoulder is by TAG and lovely, the picture doesn't really do him justice.
And lastly a site most of their enemies probably were pleased to see, the backs of the Cossacks heading away.

Really happy with these despite some of the weird poses coming out of some of the Old Glory figures. More to come of these guys as the basing department catches up with the backlog.
