Despite their Renaissance attire these are intended for The 1812 Patriotic War as if they were independent but well financed bands of partisans - Guard Cossacks assigned to guerilla duty perhaps? |
I typically hate WIP's unless someone is asking for advice but these are all done but the sealing and the addition of the snow flock to the bases which look slightly plain here. |
A singular appeal to OG's are that there are rarely exact duplicates - exact poses here have different heads at different angles - a great and simple way to add variety. |
Back detail of the sole officer - one officer for 15 figures makes them relatively brittle which is what I want. |
Some of these heads are found on both the Cossack Civilian packs as well as the Dancing Cossacks pack - pictures of all of that are on the blog here. |
Bonus for melee but only a pistol for ranged work. |
Though there are Opelchenie figures out there there are no Russian partisan figures that I am aware of. |
So my new thing is to dry brush all the textured ares right off the bat - before skin, before eyes, before anything - then I never have to mask off things or take any particular care in being tidy. |
Some real characters in this pack yet here's more discharging of pistols gansta style! |
Thanks for looking! Questions, comments and followers are welcome and encouraged ...
