Thanks Kap'n

I'm no expert but I think it might equally mean 'Chosen rifles'  8)

The other idea i had was a joke on Charlies Angels

maybe KARLOVY ANGELY ?
The other thing i dug up on google was some of the commentaries on modern Russia by a chap called Charles KRAUTHAMMER, just how cool is that name!!

The best I could think of was something like "Aeronevski".

If they are Tsarist aviators I suppose you could opt for the White Eagles ? or pehaps something like the Eagles of Uzbekistan ?

Actually, just the plain old 'The White Guard' works for me.

By the way, is Miss Marbles about to plunge her sink, or is that a stick grenade she's carrying?

Perhaps she's just defeated a dalek?  :mrgreen:

Ha ha! Disarmed him no doubt.  :mrgreen:

Okay, while I'm here, just a few more suggestions, then I promise to shut up with the Russki names:

The Siberian Tigers (or maybe The Trans-Siberian Tigers!)
Pavlov's Dogs (they've been beaten so often, they're starting to like it)
The Das Vidanya Club (as in, 'das vidanya and goodnight' - rat-tat-tat)
The Tashkent Assassins
Sentinels of The Silk Road
The Children of Rasputin

Back to the vodka...

The Miss Marbles mini popped an idea in my head:
"Why not some Foyle's War minis?"

Foyle with Samantha his driver, Sgt. Millner, would be all worthy additions IMO.
And to all the ignorant guys :wink:  out there who do not know Foyles War, see here:

cheers and keep on gaming, Agis - https://www.adpublishing.de

How about "The Stranski"?

As far as I'm aware it doesnt mean anything, just sounds good! (In my opinion)

You beat me to it !!! :-)


COMPETITION RESULTS
Thanks for all the entries to name the new russian faction.
The winner was fortean_us  with Koschei's Cossacks. He'll be receiving all 12 of the new Thrilling Tales figures as a prize.
We also liked Mike Watson's suggestion of Muromets' Old Guard and ended up using Murometz as a name for one of the figures so we'll be sending him a few of the Cossacks also.

And yes the figures are for sale:-
