Finally completed a four year project. I bought these figures back in 05...I think. I have begun to paint them twice since i bought them. I wanted them for my Marions to pick on but quickly lost interest.
I know most would have selected the Chariot General but i like a challenge. Besides I think it would be fun to charge heavy foot with a fanatic. This general stand has the trumpeter wounded. I guess he should have put on some clothes before showing up with the warlord.
The first four WB. I used the camp followers with their loyal mutt for one of the stands. Sometimes you gotta give the farm boys a go.
Finally, The two Cv. I supposed this army needs these guys to fight in the open but I have no intentions of fighting on an open plain. Maybe the Cv will go graze near the camp?

WWI Russians
Finally, Here are the Russians in entirety. I could not be happier with the Peter Pig WWI range, well at least the Russians. Although a little smallish, around 12mm, they are incredibly detailed and deeply cut to provide the best painting opportunity.
The last two pieces to the army were the MMG. I have been waiting for them on back order from Peter Pig. I did things slightly different with these two stands in order to get the terrain the way I wanted it. I made and puttied the terrain with out the figures on the stands. After gluing the figures down I coated the stands again with putty to hide the lead bases. Much of the difficulty I have had in the past has been due to the putty in tight spaces. Not an issue with this method....just took longer to finish.
