Start of 28mm Crimean war armies
« on: April 08, 2020, 10:11:14 AM »
Been toying with the crimean for a long time. I decided to bite the bullet and buy both sides.
Mainly Warlord for the infantry plus great war miniatures to fill the gaps. I'll need some foundry as well
First 3 british infantry regiments



The light brigade

Cardigan at the head of the 11th Hussars

The russians! (plus british guard, heavy cavalry, artillery, etc)

Thanks.
I don't think I'll do the same thing I did with both my WOTR and romans/barbarians projects though. At about this stage I set up all of the empty bases to give me an idea what space the armies would take up on the table.
I felt a palpable weight of the amount of work I had ahead of me, very disheartening!!

Good luck, that's a pile of work, painting and basing.  Hope you can maintain the motivation to get it done.  I have similar projects in the lead pile that seemed like a good idea at the time but as the years went by just became unfinished or unstarted.  AWI anyone?

Nice sold block for artillery to punch holes into.
