Don't really work for VSF for me. Too fantasy Soviet rather than Tsarist for my taste.

Yep, sorry Argsilverson I have to agree with Dewy.

I like everything except the shoulder pads.

a very good point!
the heads are quite tsarist to my view

If it wasn't for the shoulder pads

they would be suitable for several VSF amies with a head change.

Damn! You're right! I've been looking for great coat wearing minis for a conversion, and these would have been perfect.

I really like the guns.

Might go well with Copplestones Neo Soviets. Too Sci-Fi for me (despite the archaic looking weapons).

yep

shoulder pads are really out
look too GW for me, sorry - otherwise quite nice
I think they lack the historical touch for VSF

maybe the shoulderpads are removable?

I really like those figures but I agree the shoulder pads are to much like GW space marines, I might get them anyway as a special unit for my planned Russian force, although I am in a quandry as to whose figures to base the army on - Askaris central asia russians, Outposts 1877 range or one of the boxer risings ranges. Not only that ,Redoubt are shortly releaseing 1905 Russians.

Cheers Mors

They'll be much bigger than 28mm, too, if that's a concern.

On a similar note -

I did just new molds for what I believe are the new Parroom Station Victorian Russian troops and command. I should be test casting these this weekend and as soon as I get a release date from Bob Charrette I will let you know.

Ohh Lon. Thats gonna make me rethink!! As I have the Brits ,Prussian ,Japanese ,and French Parroom miniatures.....let alone most of the Martians and personalities I expect your Russians would jump to the top of the list. Please let us know asap as I was going to place a order in the next few weeks!

Lon, will the Parroom Brits with breathing masks be re-released? I think Bob said he was re-sculpting them.

Thanks.

I really like these, I agree with Argsilverson, perfect for VSF. I can't see anything Soviet about them at all. I don't mind the shoulder pads that much either.

As for being too GW, that's sometimes a good thing. GW imagery is very dark and gothic so some of it fits in well with VSF.

The height thing would seem to be the only problem.
