The Retreat from Moscow project is coming along nicely. Here we have an 8 figure detachment from the 4th Wurttemberg regiment, that was part of Ney's Third Army, 25th Division, under Brigadier von Hugel.
There are a few companies that make some superb Wurttemberg figures, but alas none of them are in the much needed greatcoats!!
Some some drastic action was required!!!
I bough a few packs of Wargames Foundry French in greatcoats and in true French fashion began chopping off heads!! Replacing them with heads from the old Connoisseur range, now sold by Bicorne Miniatures.
I didn't want to use all the Foundry figures otherwise they would all look the same, so I included 3 plastic Perry figures and one Perry metal figure. I also added a scarf in the 4th facing colours to the only marching figure.
So onto the points...
Pretty simple this one, 8 x 25mm figures at 5 points each
40 points
And if I'm lucky Teemu might give me a few extra points for the conversion work???
TeemuL: Retreat from Moscow is coming along nicely, indeed. It is really great to follow your progress in this duel, the bases and movement trays look good and the backdrop fits the scene. I seem to be giving bonus points here and there today, so you'll get two, too, just to get a nice number of 42
At least you only had to go outside for the snow effects 😉 smashing mate 👍
