Output from the workbench continues with the FRW theme. Today’s installment focuses on another Russian regiment from Suvorov’s 1799 Switzerland and Italian campaign.
Marching out from the painting desk is a grenadier regiment of two, thirteen figure battalions. As a reminder, Russian grenadier regiments featured soldiers wearing a SYW Prussian-like fusilier shortened mitre hat. Actual grenadiers in these regiments wore Prussian style tall mitre hats. Grenadiers were pulled out of the grenadier regiments to form combined grenadier battalions.These fellas march out as the Tuarica Regiment in their orange facings. Figures are AB Miniatures. Fine figures and another tick against emptying The Lead Pile of Russian figures for this project. While I have not made a final tally, I suspect that enough Russians are now present under arms to begin thinking about bringing this army to the table for a game. First, though, I plan a return to Feudal Japan in a series of upcoming battles. Details on these battles to follow once an order from Peter Pig arrives with bits to construct a couple of Imperial tombs.
A very fine pair of units. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI do like these relaxed marching poses. Better then my strange charging Swiss. Do you want to visit the battlefields in Swiss or Italy? I once was in Zürich.
ReplyDeleteI would enjoy visiting some of these battlefields in northern Italy and Switzerland. I have visited Zurich twice but never made it to the battlefield.
DeleteBeautiful work on some very nice figures Jon. Once you fo your tally, a FRW Russian parade might be in order?
