Part of my expanding Garde collection, the fist of 3-4 Bn of very useful Young Guard.   I didn't paint these, wish I was that good!  They make the other minis in my army look positively shabby.  More on t'blog:-

Thanks chaps!  David Davies  painted them, except the mud which I added at the basing stage.  I think they are my favourite unit, so far.

Cheers, Simon

Great looking unit...

Only the eyes on some of he figures look a little spooky.

The variety in colours for the great coats are really cool.
