Seems like there were many many ethnic groups in Siberia with a lot of ways to dress for battle.You will probably have to concentrate on a certain few as it will take you forever to do them all. Mark
The problem is that with some tribes the Russians entered into interaction in the 16th century, with others later. Then the Russian soldiers themselves looked different.
I agree, concentrate on the most common ones, and make more poses. And - just for me - I prefer relaxed or "waiting" poses to poses full of action. But then, I'm not a gamer, I just collect, paint and make some kind of dioramas...
Then I think you should start with an early period for both Russians and the fitting tribes, and - if the miniatures are successful like I hope they will be - expand the range to a later timeline. Just my opinion...Anyway, congratulations! Great project, great research!
