RCW from the bottom of the world. Updated 9/01/2020
« on: October 27, 2019, 09:31:48 PM »
the RCW has been something I've wanted to wargame for a while so without further ado here are some Bolsheviks that I've painted up. I've even tried the arm badges which I'm somewhat happy with.

Very well! Arm badges are often neglected, but in vain.

in vain? have I made a mistake with the ranks? If so any CC is more than appreciated.

I was trying for a Section Commander and a Deputy Platoon Commander.

You are all excellent. Apparently I didn’t put it quite clearly  ::)

All good mate thanks for the kind words.  Working on some more Chekists will post them when finished.

I'll get some Whites at some point, debating whether to go with the North-Western Army and incorporate some of Tsuba's Freikorp as the Baltic Landeswehr or go with the Volunteer Army and a bunch of Don cossacks.

A White standard bearer. I made the shoulder board out of plasticard.

Point of Order -- the Don Cossacks weren't (generally) in the Volunteer Army. (I think you mean the Armed Forces of South Russia, or the later Russian Army). The vast bulk of Don units fought in their own army.

More importantly, since Don Cossacks don't look very different to ordinary Volunteer Army cavalry, I would suggest you go for Kuban or Terek Cossacks. They look quite different and also fought alongside Volunteer units much more often.

My mistake, I think I must meant to say the AFSR ( doh). I'm aware of the Don Army and wouldn't mind making a few units for it( I've actually just designed a flag for it).

yes the Kuban and Terek Cossacks are striking and I'd love to get some.

I say designed more made it via Microsoft Paint and then painted over it, but it gets the job done.

some flags for the Don Army, the Baltic Landeswehr and the West Russian Volunteer Army.

I  saw some painted in black at Steve Dean painting and thought they looked rather stylish...although I do imagine they're not particularly accurate.

In reality, the troops of the Cheka did not differ in appearance from the rest of the Red Army.
The Red Army sometimes used black leather uniforms, but this had no connection with the type of troops. However, it was most often used in armored units - armored car detachments, crews armored train teams.
I have never seen black greatcoats, except for sailors.
I have never seen black shirt of the 1919 model (with colored stripes on the chest).
