Have you seen what Warlord Games are giving away with the next Wargames Illustrated? It's a frame of their unreleased Crimean War Russians.

Good innit?

If you're getting the mag anyway, they are free. But if you're not, you could say it's £5.25 for 6 figures. We'll be stocking the mag:

Any idea when the box set will be released? I've been waiting for these for a long time.

I was looking to see when they were out earlier today!

This is great. You just need so many faceless hordes of Russians to face the Franco-British allies' rifled muskets

This is a clever way of hooking some people into a new period. I presume Warlord will release the box set shortly after and perhaps re-release their British cavalry in box sets too.

ah... at least I was wondering what happened to these figures... and others...

Greet looking infantry the Russians from the period are. That sounded a bit Yoda? I've already got four battalions of Russian infantry unpainted (Great War Miniatures) but the fun fact is for the period you almost can't have too many Russians. Bring forth the sprues.

Pics of the new Russian regiment as a whole appear in the newest WI, looking fine, i'm betting tomorrow or next friday for a release.

I wonder if this means a Black Powder Crimean war supplement -
I do hope so

I think so too, too much investment just to fill out a range, I have to say i'm a little disappointed that the British infantry regiment is not plastic but just a reboxing, looking forward to Turks in particular.

I bought my copy earlier, but haven't opened it yet. The figures look good, and their simplicity (just body & head) invalidates the usual excuse for not getting around to building them. I was a little surprised by the predominance of helmeted heads, as I had the impression caps were more common, at least later in the war, but I daresay someone can correct me.

As for future releases, I really hope for a good range of Frenchmen.

The new box set seems to have an additional cap that the test sprue didn't have.

I must admit it is the freebie figure sprues that have got me started buying Wargames magazines again after years of not bothering. It does make them quite good value, even if I have no immediate use for some of the figures.

Love that tag line

Just put my freebie Warlord Russian next to a Ebor Russian and a Gt War Coldstream guardsman and some Foundry Russian gun crew.

I'd be happy to match the Gt War and Warlord and the Ebor and Foundry, but not either of the first with either of the latter.
