Title: My RCW Whites
Post by: scotty on 31 January 2023, 02:51:56 PM
After putting together a largish Bolshevik force last year, it was time to make a start on some 'Whites'. I've added a HMG team from Copplestone to add to a couple of companies from Mini-figs, painted up to represent the Izhevsk rifle battalion. https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/2023/01/rcw-whites-iii.html?m=0

Looking good.  I like the Markov's.  Those black uniforms are very striking.

Thank you, one of the reasons I picked them after the drab uniforms of the Bolsheviks

Picked up a 3d printed tank to add a little fire power to my Whites

Finally got around to adding the extra 8 figures to complete my first unit of the Markov regiment.  https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/2023/02/whites-brits-and-trojans.html?m=0

Good work.  You've been very industrious.  I do like the look of those Markov uniforms.

Managed to get the 2nd company for the Markov officer regiment completed. https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/2023/02/more-rcw-whites.html?m=1

I finally decided to add some mounted troops to my Whites. In keeping with the infantry already doe I decided upon the Markov horse in their Kuban dress to add to the officer battalion.  https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/2023/03/the-markov-horse.html?sc=1679232989550&m=1#c2842406093979920557

Nice additions.  I wish I'd used those bases instead of 40mm round ones.  The round ones look good individually but are too big en mass.

I know what you mean. I need to get some movement trays sorted for these

Cool looking figures, the start of great force, I’m sure.

Can I offer a suggestion on the photos - try taking them without the flash. The flash creates some very harsh shadows.

Cheers, I'll keep that in mind

Another infantry unit eventually added. The 1st Gen. Alexeyev Partisan regiment. These are Empress WW1 Russians. https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/2023/04/rcw-white-volunteers.html?m=1

Nice.  You can see why the AFSR are popular, the uniforms are striking.
Title: Re: My RCW Whites
Post by: scotty on 09 April 2023, 09:06:45 AM
The AFSR are very colourful so I couldn't help myself and added another HMG team. I also had the Bolsheviks on the table to organise for an upcoming club game. https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/search/label/RCW?m=0

Looking good.  You're getting quite sizeable forces now.

Cheers Trev , they should get their first game in at the club on Thursday

Picked up an artillery piece from Irregular miniatures. Not bad and a little rougher than more modern sculpts, but it helps add a little variety to the collection. It is painted up to support the Drozdovsky regiment

That gun is not too bad and paints up nicely.  Are the crew Irregular too?
Title: Re: My RCW Whites
Post by: scotty on 21 April 2023, 07:53:38 PM
yep the crew are Irregular, they are noticeably smaller than Copplestone. More likely true 25mm, But on their own perfectly fine

Finally got around to completing a generic unit of White infantry. They are a mix of Copplestone, Brigade and Forgotten Front miniatures. They mix together quite well. https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/2023/05/rcw-white-infantry.html?m=1

Nice progress!

Post by: scotty on 29 May 2023, 04:43:38 PM
A few more bits and pieces added to the collection  this time for the Bolsheviks. A 75mm field gun and 155mm Howitzer. I also added a couple of Rusdo-Balt armoured cars, didn't add decals yet do I can use for either side. https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/2023/05/rcw-artillery-and-armoured-cars.html?m=1 and https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/2023/05/rcw-red-artillery.html?m=1

You have a great simple but effective painting style.

Post by: scotty on 16 June 2023, 10:56:45 PM
Thank you, I'm not the most patient of painters as just want painted figures on the table so I can game

Those are some very nicely painted miniatures! Really nice.

A couple of 3d printed vehicles for the Bolsheviks. A Whippet light tank and Lanchester Armoured car. Just need to source some decals to finish them off
