About Me

A mythical beast - a female wargamer! I got back into wargaming in the summer of 2011 after a very, very long break and haven't looked back since. I must admit that I seem to be more of a painter/collector than a gamer, but do hope to correct that at some point in the near future. My gaming interests span the ages, from the "Biblical" era all the way through to the far future. I enjoy games of all sizes, from a handful of figures up to major battles (see my megalomaniacally sized Choson Korean and Russian Seven Years War armies).

Challenge Day 29 - Post 1: Russian Grenadiers

I wasn't expecting to be posting pics of these until Sunday, but Curt's fingers slipped and he posted them early. So, here you go - the 1st and 2nd Grenadier regiments for my Russian Seven Years War army.

I completed these two regiments quite quickly, when you consider all the fiddly details that needed to be painted. Like the flags. My dog, they were a complicated design to try to recreate freehand.

So, here you go - the pics:







1st Grenadiers





2nd Grenadiers





 Close-ups of the command stands:



These scored me a handy 74 points.

However, I'm glad I will only ever have to paint two more Russian grenadier regiments (the 3rd and 4th) - those bleedin' backs of the mitres...and the flags...

    @ Michael A - "boom bang-a-bang" Glad you like them :)

    @ Clint - no more grenadiers for a while, but 6 regiments of Russian musketeers to come.

    @ Ray - the prospect of doing the flags was scarier than actually doing them in the end :)

    @ Stoke s- thank you sir! :)

    @ Dannoc - indeed they are old chap :)
