New Perry Russian Cossacks
« on: 16 July 2013, 05:02:25 AM »
A stunning TWELVE packs of new Russian Napoleonic Cossacks!

Plus, their metals workbench has an amazing amount of new and very interesting sculpts:

I know I'm excited - especially about the Cossacks, but the Anhalt and Saxe previews are almost as exciting! How do they do it?  o_o

Deep breaths man, deep breaths!   ;)

I must say that the Cossacks are pretty awesome.

Indeed, outstanding figures!

Does anyone know how they are compared to Foundry Cossacks?

I obviously haven't seen the figures in the flesh, but I'd guess they are roughly compatible with Foundry - probably a bit taller, more slender and with smaller heads, but nothing that would be a deal breaker.

Pics of the full twelve packs below in case some of you want to see the lot in one go :

Lovely figures! A shame I'm already working on WW1 Cossacks, or I'd pick these up without a second thought.

Ataman, perhaps you can help me: What exactly is an "Ataman's Polk" and did it really have a special uniform?

A pulk (rather than polk) was a regiment. According to P. Haythornthwaite, the Ataman pulk was one of the 80 Don regiments and had light blue facings instead of the regulation red ones.

Those will match the Eureka Cossacks nicely!
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo
