MarkG: Bolshevik infantry from the Russian Civil War (75 points)

This week I’m continuing the Russian Civil War project with a unit of Bolshevik infantry. 

All Copplestone Castings again. Given the add-hoc, and often ragged appearance of the Red armies, I’ve tried to mix up the uniforms a bit, and equally give them a toned-down look.

I painted one of the officers/commissars in a conjectural Cheka uniform, with the mandatory black leather jacket and hat (though at the time, they were most likely dressed the same as the rest of the infantry). Let’s just say he needed to resemble “Strelnikov.”

The flag is one I lifted off the internet, apparently representing some Red unit opposing Yudenich’s White Army near St. Petersburg in 1919.

The points summary:

15 x 5 = 75 points for fifteen 28mm foot miniatures.

Mark, you are beavering away on this most excellent Civil War project of yours for sure. Another great unit to bolster the bolshevik ranks. The banners really enhance the overal look of the unit. Well done can't wait to see a group shot of the entire project!
