Black legion, you know. Someone's going to draw the wrong conclusion some day.

Something like this ?



I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I just admire the Dr. for taking on the slashes and pikes :)

Looks pretty good. The one I wonder about quite often is whether there were any melanistic Cossacks, possibly absconding slaves of the Turks. Runaway serfs and slaves were welcome to join if they learned Ukrainian and professed themselves Orthodox believers, and there are records of Cossacks from very far afield (Italians, Spaniards, Englishmen). Was there a colour bar, or are we painting our shaven-headed axemen too uniformly in their skin tones?

Looking good. I always struggle to paint black uniforms.

Me too. I thought doing a black company was an easy shortcut. But it wasn’t. The next units will be multicolored with very limited black.

Finished most of a unit of pikemen. It is still two bases short but you get the idea.

Those Black uniforms really came out well. Where did you find the flags?

I bought some from Flags of War. But the black flag I painted myself.

I finished the last two bases for the pikemen.


And I took a picture of the entire Black Legion part of my army to be.

They look great! Ready for battle! Keep up the good job!
