New Musketeer Miniatures WWI Russians in Greatcoats

[huevans]

Can anyone tell me a decent size / style match for the Musketeer WW1 Russians for a German or KuK opponent? I have been toying with buying the Russians for years, but have never actually done it and would want to know a suitable opponent.

BTW, there are greens for Musketeer WW1 Russian artillery and IIRC cossacks around, but Bill has never finished them off and cast them up.

They do very well with Brigade Austrians and GWM germans.

Don't remind me of that. At Crisis three years ago he told me he planned 25 packs or more. Still waiting.

I just received some packs of Musketeer WWI Russians (not those in greatcoats, I've already got to many advancing soldiers for BoB skirmish gaming) and they are nice, I am happy with them. 

Looking at their photo on the Musketeer website I feared that they would be smaller than my Copplestone, but no, they are the same size or even slightly bigger. Weapons are a slightly thinner (and probably more to scale) but same length so that's OK, I can hide this with paint. Being a bit thin the little parts are not so strong and two bayonets did not survive the trip but I don't need bayonets for everyone.

I also bought some civilians that will do well in a SCW or a French WWII village (I think they are intended for VBCW or something) ; and - by curiosity - a pack of Dark Ages Saxons and a pack of Arthurian British, and yes, they will look good in my Dark Ages troops too.
