28mm 1812 Russian Casualties

Glenn will have 14 casualty markers for his Russian army.  He places one of these whenever a unit is destroyed, which gives a handy visual marker for where the fighting has been fiercest.  The first image contains Front Rank figures.  All the rest are Perry.

28mm 1812 Russian Grenadiers

Glenn is fielding six units of grenadiers for his army.  The first two units are Perry Miniatures (with Foundry officers), and the other four are Wargames Foundry.  The tall plumed grenadiers help give the Russian army its distinctive look.






















I finished painting the Jaeger today and am starting on casualties tonight.  That will just leave the artillery and its crew.  This army is nearly done!

28mm 1812 Russian Musketeers

It took two weeks, but I managed to paint all Glenn's musketeers in one batch.  Glenn has eight units of musketeers in his army, each of eight figures, so that makes 64 figures in 14 days.

This first unit is from Perry Miniatures.  Perry has sculpted the figures in summer dress, so they get white trousers and gaiters.  These are actually from a pack of Jager, but the uniform was identical to musketeers, only differing in some colors.




The second unit is also from Perry, this time marching casually.




The third unit has Perry rankers and Foundry command.




The other five units are all Foundry.
















Glenn has picked some beautiful figures for his army.  I'm not sure which I like best!  The Perry figures are better sculpted, but I like the Foundry poses better and found them much easier to paint.

On to the grenadiers!
