First of my Russian infantry
Having finally got my fill of Waterloo battles played , I am looking ahead to getting the historical battle of Borodino on the table. I have already planned out the deployments (see my post: deployment ) and have painted the artillery units and field fortifications but only recently completed a couple of my planned Russian infantry units.
The Perry plastics are easily to build and good to paint so should go relatively quickly. I also have the Life Guard Corps of Warlord types to paint for 'variety'. With the others helping and creating their own corps to command, we should be able to recreate the battle in a short rather than long time from now.

| The Little Russia Grenadiers |

| as the Russian line infantry have the same uniform (with the grenadiers in addition having a tall plume) I have tried to have all my representative regiments carry one of the regimental flags to make each element distinctive. However, I could also certainly do without and thus make them very generic for any of the scenarios I would wish to do. Flags will be from various sources such as the Perrys box, magazine articles and available web printouts. I am not that picky to be honest. |
Many more to go, however.....
