I'm a member and went in for a look but could only find some Romanian Cossacks.

Romanian Cossacks.

Now You'll really have to tell me what exactly this is meant to be?
Cossacks are really widespread, but Romania?
Anything I can imagine in this matter are hired Cossacks in private service of rich landowners, but nothing in the way of ethnicity or regular service.

Guys,

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RussoTurkishWar1877/photos/album/545469879/pic/1210788208/view?picmode=&mode=tn&order=ordinal&start=41&count=20&dir=asc

Here is a link to the 28mm Romanian Dorobantz infantryman, sorry for confusion he is stood next to a Russian Ural cossack. A rear view can be found elsewhere in the photo file. There is also a standing firing variant of this leg pose, others will be added along with suitable command but as yet I have no timescale. I would suggest addressing an queries or interest direct to Jeff at Outpost Wargames Service.

Cheers,

Geoff

thx, but I can't get access, maybe my firewall

no confusion here, bon't bother.
Thing is, in the time of question, Romania had recently gradually gained independence, and the nobility, who for centuries had employed merceneries from Albania (and possibly cossacks too), was about to adjust to a new role in the country - so the Cossacks could have been the private retinue/bodyguard of af nob who tried as officer in the army

joined, but pending

Edit:

finally saw it - nice
did not know there are so many figures around for it

also a lot of options for RCW, if one takes it easy with the Russian uniforms
the new mounted cossacks from Askari are also cool

A useful clip - but something struck me as odd. Go to the 2:07 mark - is that a woman marching along wearing a Havelock cap?

Interesting, if not a very femine looking boy..!

If anyone is still intererested in a Romanian chasseur please email me

Would be interested to know what sort of pose anyone might be interested in, Jeff at Outpost should be releasing his Romanian Dorobanti soon.

Could these be useful as a starting point for conversions?

Excellent idea but too many negative points, I will prob commission some to be made through Outpost, and will start with a trial figure to make sure that the look is right, just wanted an idea as to pose, for a trial figure was thinking of either a standing or kneeling firing figure although they did charge as part of the storming divisions involved during the taking of the Grivitsia redoubts and helped with the taking the Kanli redoubt which was one of the two redoubts.
