Agree - you and your contractors are getting these completed at an admirable pace.

Are these the near mythological GNW Russians from Ebor?  I've heard rumors of their existence, rather like Nessie and Bigfoot, but thought they were the stuff of legend.

Cheers Gents.

Extrabio, you are right, Nick at Ebor has had these figures for a year available to buy and I have no idea why they are not on his website yet. He also has a number of others you can buy from him but only if you know he has them and email/phone him. Marching Swedes and Grenadier storming party to name just a couple.

Its frustrating, I am working on some lovely marching Swedes at the moment which I picked up from Nick in February at the York show which is now just 5 weeks away.

I do know he runs a building firm which of course takes most of his time and also that he planned to get the figures painted before loading any pictures but even so....

That said they are lovely and great to paint.

Great work as always Roger.
As a point of note  - I ordered some WSS figures from him the week before Christmas and they arrived within a couple of days which is much faster than his usual turn around. (And he seems to have cast these in a harder metal than previous purchases).
In wargaming as in life - don't accept cheap imitations
