Russians are coming! (Napoleonic wars)


Having been stuck with essentially an infantry brigade or division (depending on the rules) and one regiment of cavalry for ages as I have concentrated on Prussians and Austrians I decided to get some Russians done by Perfect Six and after 4 months break I am starting on a huge basing process. So this is somewhat a work in progress for my Russians.

So here is my rather pathetic Russian force prior to getting some done:




 The last thing I added was a grenadier battalion and I painted that quite a while ago now



The first reinforcements arrive:


Guard Kuirassier regiment:


Guard Hussars - I decided to have these in the early uniform as it looks more colourful:




Little Russia Kuirassiers:


Pskov Dragoons:


One squadron of Moscow Dragoons entering the battlefield ahead of the rest of the regiment:


I am working on a number of Austrian battalions but I think I will do a post on my Austrian army later this week rather than wait as it could be a while and my Austrians are my largest army so far.

Borodino church is in the background and I have done an earlier post on that. The small village with large wooden church are Timecast models and where about the first Russian buildings I painted.

  3. Wonderful Steve.

    I had just decided to focus on clearing a few hundred WWII 1/285th minis to complete the armies when I see this and get tempted back to my Adler Napoleonics
