BoB White Russians-"Colourful Regiments"
« on: 11 May 2007, 02:18:11 PM »
Hi All!
I´m new to this forum, so here are some facts about myself:
26 years old, male  :x  , now back in school.., living in Bielefeld, the real heart of Germany  :lol:  - and 6 months ago I felt in love with Copplestones BoB Whites. As I´m really happy with my boys I´ll show you some pics..

VERY nice.  :love:

I'm starting to think that the Germans are slowly trying to push all the rest of the world to despair with their well-painted figures and great terrain.

I really, really like that banner. Banners may be my favorite part of a good army of miniatures.

Great work and welcome!

As said over at Sweetwater, sapperlotskoje!

You know, guys, this army (after the Ungernmania army and the Prof´s stuff) was the final nail to my coffin of BoB addiction... :D :lol:

Fantastic !

this is (with Denis's Tsai Nor photos) a great motivation to begin painting my Russians and Chinses BoB's figures

I agree, but  I'm totaly unable to draw something on paper, so for my 15mm rcw armies I made my flags on computer.
Here the result: http://tsar1701.free.fr/cpg142/thumbnails.php?album=21

It's correct for 15mm ( http://tsar1701.free.fr/cpg142/thumbnails.php?album=23 ), no idea for 28mm ...

Dito to all the cred.

Please, could you expand on the "colorful regiment" title. Is there an actual historical reference?

Thanks for the credits!
tsar1701, your flags are great! I have 2 more Standard Bearers to do, so I will copy their flags from your designs :D  
hammershield, the colourful, or "Tsvetniye", Regiments were part of the Volunteer Army that fought in South Russia 1918-20. I got all my information from Osprey Men-at-Arms "The Russian Civil War (2) White Armies". I really   :love:  this book..

Hi Hazel! Do you know 'Price of Glory'? I'm painting up my Australians right now and I'm very eager to try these rules. Wanna play?

My Aussies are 500 pts european regulars with Command section, 2 Rifle Sections with  LMGs and 1 HMG. Ah yes, and I own an Mk IV. Germans will be painted afterwards and are much larger.

I'm at our Club at Avenwedde each Friday from 6 pm onwards.
