I like the little imp things vonlucky. Are they just a different scale fantasy range?

Thanks. BTW your nymphs are very coyly posed. Usually on LPL nipples = votes. Butt cheeks not so much. ;)

They are yes, from the Muscovite High Command box, although most are the same as command figures with are included in the regiment boxes. Nice figures, probably doesn't do them justice - but there are some brilliant examples of how well they paint up in various threads on the Pikes, Muskets & Flouncy shirts board.

I have some but haven't seen Muscovites upclose (and producer photos are abysmall really) but they are stylistically distinct

You have very nice set here, IMHO those are not the easiest miniatures to paint.
They went for best historical accuracy at the cost of very little details that are hardly visible but make them quite difficult to paint.

Nope, I wouldn't say they are the easiest to paint either! I do have lots more Muscovite cavalry (boyar sons & reiters), I should stick some pics up on the forum, these command chaps I painted up just to be an LPL team.

The Transylvanians I thought are also good figures and were a bit easier to paint - http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=82887.msg1017206#msg1017206

Next up is to finish the rest of my Muscovites though, infantry and yet more cavalry (did I mention I really don't enjoy painting horses...!), and also the start of my Ottomans. At some point I need to tackle the Poles though I think.
