18mm Crimean War Project

[Codsticker]

The "local" historical gaming group (it's about an hour and a half away) has embarked on Crimean War project. Miniatures are from Eureka USA and although they have a decent selection for infantry other options are limited, especially for the Turks, which is what I have just finished painting.

I admit I found them a bit challenging as I almost exclusively paint 28mm, however the small size of the figures means that you do get a regiment painted up relatively quickly.

These look excellent Codsticker! I love the look of them in mass too.

As for variation, I know that Eureka are making an 18mm Russo-Turkish war range atm, could some of the Turkish infantry from that
period be used to flesh out their Crimean war range?

Thank you FW.

Possibly. I wonder which decade; there are 4 Russo-Turkish Wars (including the Crimean War) in the 19th century alone! Aside from infantry command Eureka doesn't make higher level commanders and no cavalry so those are what I would be looking to get from the Russo-Turkish war range.

Here are my Rank & File 15mm Turks http://corlearshookfencibles.blogspot.com/2017/09/rank-file-15mm-turks.html


R&F  make several sets of infantry, in western style (like yours) ansd zouave style. All for Crimea to 1877 it seems. They also make artillery and 3 cavalry sets withput command, in western, fez and kolpak. Don't know if that's any help.

I replaced the flags shown with flags that look like yours.

Another period on my 'to do' list

Nice Turks by the way

Very nice Codsticker.  Lancashire Games Crimean stuff also matches well enough with with Eureka should you be so inclined.

Oh that is good to know. I shall have to check them out.

I have added French to the Finished List.

I think they are better sculpted than the Turks.

I still find them a bit hard on my eyes though ...
