More For Russian Civil War

 Still enthused by our playtests so getting some more of these completed, its eating into the Lead Mountain so must be positive.

Chum Chris Charlton built this particular cart for me, a kit from one of the MDF manufacturers, modelling not really my thing.

I already have a red Tchanka or machine gun cart so wanted a White one too. Bit of a mix of models.

The horses are from three manufacturers including Perrys and Foundry.
The Maxim and gunner are Copplestone and the cart crew from Colonel Bills.
The crew are painted as Don Cossacks. I stuck a pile of ammo boxes under the gunner to give him and the MG a good seat.
Ideally I would like a further one for my partisans/anarchists at some point.
.

With a forthcoming game involving the Far Eastern Troops I also wanted to finish off my Chahar Mongols, so an addition of four troopers and a leader gives me two units of 8 with their own command.

The Anarchists also got a bunch more figures, the foot figures are all Copplestone from the Partisan pack and the Leaders are Nestor Mahkno himself accompanied by the Black flag of anarchism these will give me a regiment of 3 companies and a leader plus MG which feels like a rounded force with the possible exception of a Tchanka at some point. Watch out for these in our forth coming game.

So some good progress with these, despite some new purchases the Lead Pile for this project remains reasuringly small, unlike some of the others.

Thanks for reading, see you soon.

  1. Beautiful miniatures and nicely painted. Alas, I am finding that I am having to settle for less on my figures as I age, but yours are wonderful!

  3. The RCW is such a great period for variety Roger! I like all your additions very much but possibly the Anarchists are my favourite. I never got around to doing partisans, although it was in my mind to do so for a while....maybe I will go back to that one dat, even though I have far more than enough Bolshevik forces already!

    1. Same, been doing RCW for many years and only just got around to Partisans, the great thing of course being they can be on either side or neither as you like.

  6. Russian Civil War without Tachankas? It simply cannot be. Whites deserve their own as well. Splendid paint job!
