Galitsky Infantry Regiment Joins the GNW Russian Collection

 This is the third Wargames Factory/Warlord plastic figure battalion to muster off the painting desk. Another non-standard (ie not wearing dark green faced red) unit, these guys are in white, faced red.



The grenadiers' mitres are "speculative" ie I made them up!




Next up should be the five figure cavalry squadron - expect them to appear in a couple of days' time.

    1. Thanks Lawrence...given those criteria, you should be a fan of the Austrians!

  9. A great looking addition. One of the benefits of the Russians at this time is the very non standard coat colours in the army

    1. Thanks Neil, yes, I totally agree - heaps more variety than the Swedes, that's for sure!

  10. It is really rather nice to see the Russians in something other than green faced red, which does make this period dare I say more interesting visually. Great work as always:).

    1. Thanks Steve, I am glad you agree with my uniform philosophy so far....but I really must paint a few more in green and red! (Not the next unit though, they are in red faced blue, with bearskin mitre caps!)

  15. Wow! These are stunning, Keith - all of them, particularly the grenadiers in their lovely mitres. I did a double take when you said they're Warlord Games/Wargames Factory. The ones I've seen before looked a bit more static; your brushwork has animated them well.

    1. Thanks Dean -unfortunately the original designers went with ten bodies exactly the same then two that can be "customised" per sprue - I would prefer two or three different marching poses, but at least the heads and sword hangers are separate parts, so you can vary the angle of the latter, and have the figures looking in different directions etc. I also mixed in a few different heads from the companion cavalry set, to help add some variety. Little things like different hair colour can also help make them look less "the same"!
