I finally managed a concerted push to try and get half finished jobs of my painting table last month. A prime candidate was the unit of Russian cavalry that has sat there looking at me accusingly for years! These are Warfare Miniature Great Northern War mounted grenadiers. I wasn't too fussed about which regiment they actually represent, the information seems quite sparse and they have ended up in a generic green coated uniform. The main intention for these was to be an opponent for my 18th C. Ottomans; hopefully to be cut to pieces on the River Pruth.
I do like the unusual smurf hat shape of these lads caps - very distinctive.
I did the flag in the same style as my late 17th Century units, hand painted on cloth. I took the design from examples in the Boris Megorsky book from Helion.
These 12 figures give me 2 squadrons for Beneath the Lily Banners or one Cartouche regiment. Please to get these finished off and safely stored with their colleagues.
