With an eye on the forthcoming Partizan show I am trying to get units of Anarchists and finish some Poles whilst I have time.
These three Great War stormtroopers finish the last company of Poles in German Uniform and take me to 5 completed battalions for the Poles.These four, whilst mainly aimed at Anarchist Sailors will also do double duty as Red Sailors too. These give me 2 units of 10 Red sailors and 2 units of 10 Anarchist sailors, for the forthcoming game I will mix them as a four company battalion. Three are Scheltrum the other is STP. The Scheltrum are a little dramatic in pose for me but I will mix them with STP rather than have bases of them.
These Footsore (Now Wee Wolf) WW1 Russians will be great for the Whites, I picked these up already painted, I did add highlights, uniforms touch up and new flesh to tie them into my own figures, they also needed the rifles painting, but a quick job over all and should mix in nicely.
This Harquibusier from Empress is just lovely and the first of the "German” type troops for the Deluge project. I have a very small number of these old Bohemia Miniatures figures to pain whilst I decide what rules will work best.
I forgot to take a picture of these before I started to add them to bases but decent progress for the Anarchists, particularly happy with the cavalry command base.
Good progress as I get more painted for this project, happy I am getting these ready for the game.
Decent batch of painting this week, I am making better progress than expected.
The Anarchist Cavalry have been a main focus so good to get some completed. I tend to paint the oils on the horses in colour batches hence a few greys here, more brown horses to mix in soon. These are mainly Scheltrum with second from the left being a Renegade German Officer with a Ukranian hat. Middle figure unknown possibly a Boxer Rebellion Russian?
This STP gun and crew worked well, the gun is very green but matches the ones I see outside Eastern European museums and the two I already have.
A third company of Siberian Rifles making a small regiment, mainly Copplestone with two Scheltrum and some head swaps.
As progress is good with the Anarchists and Reds I am going to try get a few Poles completed as well, this is the start of a third company with this unit, eventually plan 4 but getting 3 complete for the game will do me. Scheltrum on the left and Renegade on the right with a Studio Siberia head which I much prefer to the Scheltrum head.
I will share more as I have it, thanks for stopping by.
Great stuff as usual. This is a very niche war but you are doing a wonderful job of it. I once had a Peter Pig 15mm RussoPolish War collection using mostly WW1 figures. Sold it to a friend and now I regret it. I shall live vicariously enjoying your upcoming AARs with these.
ReplyDeleteCheers Joseph, never too late ....
DeleteLovely work on a range of nice figures Roger! We have an upcoming "Back of Beyond" game on Sunday that will feature all these armies, plus more, should have an AAR up Sunday evening or maybe Monday, so pop by for a gander.
ReplyDeleteSounds fun look forward to it.
DeleteExcellent work - and yours makes me feel a lot more at ease with the green paint job I gave my White Russian gun last month!
ReplyDeletePretty much every gun I have seen outside a museum is flat green like this or flat dark khaki so I am pretty comfortable with it cheers.
DeleteIn an ideal world I will make it to Partizan (our first grandchild has been a nice distraction for the shows earlier this year), so look forward to seeing your game ⚔️⚔️
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Geoff
