Finished the two 12pdrs and unicorns (20 and 10pdrs). These should be enough to fill up two or three fleches if I ever get around to hosting a "mini-Borodino" game. Plus, I need to add some cavalry - hopefully the Perrys will release their plastic Prussian/Russian Dragoon set in a few months.
The crews are placed pretty tightly around the guns as I like to use smaller bases. I don't want the bases themselves taking up too much table space.
As I've mentioned in previous posts, I like the Russian uniforms (at least the foot), because the main colors (green and red) are a nice combination, and they don't have too much piping or lacings - like their French and British counterparts.
I plan to have them in batteries of 2 or 3 guns, and in emplacements. Need to someday build appropriate terrain for the gun emplacements.
Pictured below along with the earlier painted 6 pounders.
I'll probably work on the Victrix Hoplites next - and get around to the metal Perry Jaegers and Grenadiers later. Thanks for stopping by and best wishes and health to you all!
Great gunners Dean! 8)
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the kind comment, Denis. Much appreciate. Regards, Dean
DeleteLovely work again Dean.......I am just planning some AWI redoubt for our planned Bunker hill game 👍
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt. I'm a bit rusty with terrain building, so this may a good project, as it shouldn't be too technically-challenging. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteBeautiful work Dean!
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, Michal! Best regards, Dean
DeleteBeautifully done my friend!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Phil! Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteDean,

Thanks, Neil! Yes, glad they chose those colors too - another reason why I've not done up much Prussians (one Landwehr unit a long time ago). If I'm gonna paint dark blue, I'll just do up more French :) Best regards, Dean
DeleteSuperb Russian artillery Dean!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Mike! Kindest regards, Dean

Thank you very much, Christopher! Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteDean, the gunners are very beautiful. Nice painting!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Dmitry! Can't wait until the Perrys release their plastic Prussian/Russian Dragoons. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteBasing really helps to make them pop, I like them.
ReplyDeleteCheers

Thanks, Kevin! Basing them around the guns is always a bit of a challenge as it gets a bit tight around the gun. That and trying to change the position of the figures in the same pose. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteLovely work once again Dean and the basing looks great too.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Keith. I used a few grass tufts and wild flowers to jazz the bases up a bit :) Best regards, Dean
DeleteGreat looking artillery Dean!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Dmitry! Kind regards, Dean
DeleteThose look superb! The green red and white is very striking 👍
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Andy! I think the Russian infantry and artillery uniforms quite enjoyable to paint and field. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteSplendid looking Russian artillery, in your usual rapid time! I expect to blink and you will have finished your hopolites!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Hahaha. Thanks for the kind words and vote of confidence with the Hoplites, Iain. Honestly, I plan to give them a quick block paint job and Minwax stain too. Figure the shield transfers will take care of most of the overall look. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteRussian artillery looks good when well done. Yours is of that quality. They will do well on the table.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the visit and nice comments, Joe! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteYou are amazing Dean. On 22nd February, working on these, on 23rd February, there you go four batteries!
ReplyDeleteMarvellous as ever too.
Regards, James
Very smart looking additions to the growing Russian Artillery park, Dean. Next you need some Horse Artillery! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Peter!
