From MarkG: Bolshevik Infantry from the Russian Civil War. (55 points)

This week I'm adding another unit of Bolsheviks to the growing roster for my Russian Civil War project. Copplestone Castings Miniatures again.

I've tried to give them a greater degree of uniformity (if faded) to represent the more regular nature of units on the Red side from 1919/1920 onwards.

These chaps are kitted out in the 'Budenovka' hats, which were introduced in 1919. 

These became an iconic image in propaganda posters, and Socialist Realism art from the late 1920's onwards.


The points summary:

11 x 5 = 55 points for eleven 28mm foot miniatures.

Great painting yet again Mark. Those Bolsheviks are getting a lot of reinforcements this week and very well dressed they are indeed! 

Cheers Sander
