15mm Russia 1812
« on: 14 July 2024, 08:44:49 AM »
This is not a new project, indeed it is already years old but this year I have had a surge on painting units this year.  So I thought I'd show them off.

First up Grenadiers a Cheval of the Imperial Guard, there should be atleast 4 bases, 12 figures but the pack only had 9 in it.  I'll have to buy another one but that will mean I will have an officer figure for the Brigade commander.

Next are the Kiev Grenadiers, the 1st Battalion, in great coats.

These are all Old Glory minis

Next of the painting table is the 1st (Schwarzburg) Battalion of the 6th Confederation of Rhine Regiment.

Historically made up of two continents, neither of which carried standards.

The figures are Captian

Hot off the painting table....two offerings, firstly Cossacks.

The again are Capitan figures, not the best and I'm not a big fan of the horse but I appear to have loads of their models lol

Three bases so far but will be adding more

Mate, those Confederation of the Rhine figures are mis-cast AB Figures, not Capitan.  Where and when did you get them, out of interest?

I do like those Grenadiers a Cheval.   :D  Yeah, the 9-figure OG15 packs are a pain.  It was so much easier when they came in bags of 30!  Unless you only wanted 9, of course... ;)

Hi Mate, I can't remember they have been in my lead pile for years.  Probably from a Bring and Buy.

Yes the big bags were good but may be too big lol. At least I will get a chance to build a Brigade commander with the officer.

I do really like Old Glory minis
