From BruceR, Once more into the breach, (Pts 15)

I thought I was done.  I found myself with some free time this Thursday and these three Cossacks have been looking at me throughout my 10mm madness.  Oh well, quick session and done.

These characterful figures are from Wargames Foundry and are fabulous.  I believe they were an addon to a purchase our group was making due to the rule of cool. 

I had gifted a friend a Silver Bayonet Russian band I had painted, maybe last AHPC.  I decided they would make a great Cossack/Ukrainian band to fight the evils found in the Silver Bayonet.  My grandfather made his way from Ukraine, through Canada to the States during WW1, so playing some freebooting Cossacks from the steppes would be right up my ancestral alley.    

These three were the last to flush out the band.

The Officer of the band is "Sophat" the Well Dressed.





Next, is Uncle Petro.




Last, is Oleksander One Eye.






The rest of the band completed prior to the challenge.  A young St. Nickoli in the back.


Points:

3 28mm at 5@.                    15 Total

Hope you enjoy.

One more time, thanks for looking, thanks to Curt, Sarah, and the Minions.

Roll well and be well.

Bruce


From Millsy:

These are absolutely glorious mate. The colours are so vibrant and the backstories implied in their names really sets the tone. I love the fact you've picked something based on your family history too, such a cool way to inject a little more of yourself into a project.

Well done on these and the Challenge as a whole. 15 more hryvnia added to your tally!

Cheers,
Millsy
