Title: Agents of the Tsar
Post by: El Guapo on July 11, 2013, 02:25:23 AM: Afternoon, all. I'm jumping the gun a little bit with the release of Heroes, Villains, and Fiends coming up in a few months, but I wanted to share my White Russians with the group. Hope you like them!

Post by: Craig on July 11, 2013, 06:05:53 AM: Excellent figures and paint job there!

If you're thinking of fielding the Okhrana you'll need Grigori Rasputin :o, a few Siberian infantry and some Cossacks to round out the company.

Craig, thanks for the suggestions - I'll start looking for suitable models immediately!

Poisoning? Still ready to go.
Shoot him? No worries.
Drowning? He'll be back.

Along with some interesting powers and a unique weapon that can be used for both shooting and fighting. Kudos will go to the chap who can guess what it is :D

Now, that's right over the top!

Looking forward to the result. :D

Post by: El Guapo on July 18, 2013, 03:50:36 AM: Thank you, all - it's encouraging to receive such good feedback from as august a company as this, here on the L.A.F. One question, Craig - The Cossacks you speak of - history says that they were usually mounted - is it the same in the upcoming Okhrana list?

Thanks!

Good work deserves applause Generalissimo El Guapo!

To answer your question, the Cossacks in the Okhrana will be able to purchase horses.

I love the White Russians by the way.

Post by: El Guapo on July 28, 2013, 07:13:34 AM: Thanks, kidterminal :) The song my friend used is Professor Elemental - This Is My Horse (Show Me Yours), available for your listening pleasure on the YouTube. I'd also recommend his song Fighting Trousers, a personal favorite.
