| Kargopolskiy (green flag) and Rizhskiy (yellow flag) |
*edited after posting because I discovered I hadn't changed it
These are the Kargopolskiy and Rizhskiy regiments. The former took part in all of Russia's main battles of the SYW, the latter only took the field at Gross-Jagersdorf but did participate in other parts of the war effort.
I'm sure that someone will point out that Gross-Jagersdorf was in 1757, three years before the horse grenadiers dropped their mitres in favour of tricornes. Yes, well, if Essex did horse grenadiers, things would have been so much simpler for me, but they don't so you'll just have to suffer the anachromism.
Some close up pics:
As always, the flags are hand-painted in an impressionist style. Figures are 15mm from Essex Miniatures.
For scoring, there are eighteen 15mm mounted which gives me 72 points and I'm trusting that our mathemagical minion Miles will award the customary 1 point each for the hand-painted flags.
MilesR: Your trust is well placed for there is indeed another point for each flag - really nice looking minis
Great work. If you didn't say about the mitres nobody would notice.
ReplyDeleteNice work Tamsin. These guys look sharp.
ReplyDeleteFine looking troops what do you want for your command stand :)
ReplyDeleteAnother great cavalry entry ,lovely stuff
ReplyDeleteGreat work Tamsin.
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed! I knew the Russians wore several colours for their uniforms rather than one dominating one, but corn-flower blue I did not know them to wear. So I learned something new today and had the benefit of some awesome eyecandy!
ReplyDeleteLovely Tamsin, like Adam I think the side duel challenge towel is mid air enroute to the centre of the ring.
ReplyDeleteI think a group shot of the Ruskies is in order?
ReplyDeleteFantastic work, Tamsin. Your 15mm skills are really top drawer, that is a vibrant looking unit.
ReplyDeleteLove the bright blue Tamsin - they look great!
ReplyDelete+1 for the Rookie group shot :-)
*Rooskies!
DeleteGreat looking cavalry Tamsin!

Very well executed and apart from minor historical discrepancies, which I immediately spotted of course ;-), a real looker!
ReplyDeleteVery fine work on those 15mils Tamsin, I think these are some of your best work.
ReplyDeleteLove them, your work on your SYW figs in this challenge really is excellent
