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).

Finished: 15mm Seven Years War Russian Infantry



And so the final nine line infantry regiments roll off the paint table and into the box files. It's been a long haul, but I have now painted every Russian regiment which fought in the Seven Years War (apart from Suvalov's Observation Corps). The only additions I might make in future are more Cossacks, some converged grenadiers, more artillery and the Observation Corps.

Here are some pics of the individual regiments.


Nizhegorodskiy



This regiment fought at Gross-Jagersdorf, Palzig and Kunersdorf.

Suzdalskiy

Troitskiy

Vologdaskiy

Vyborgskiy

All figures are 15mm from Essex Miniatures.



The army, as it stands, now fills at least four box files (I actually have the figures in five boxes, so there is space for the units which I might add in future.

  7. Glorious stuff! I completed a number of these regiments in 28 mm and the greens and reds were truly a delight. The regimental look you achieved is perfect and should provide hours of pleasant gaming.
