A Russian Civil War Project in 15mm

[OB]

I’ve been working on big skirmish/small battle project for the Russian Civil War.  The figures are mostly from Peter Pig.  There is a set of rules in preparation that will be the Russian equivalent of the ones I did for the Spanish Civil War last year.

If it is of interest here is the link.

I must admit to a pang of guilt when I saw your post, and your lovely figures.  I had painted up a Russian WW1 army a few months ago, consisting of Peter Pig figures as well (and as you mention, they are lovely figures indeed).  I bought some more PP castings to expand the army to cover the RCW, but sadly got sidetracked by WW1 Austrians.  I finished painting those worthies, but instead of returning to the RCW project, I just bought figures for a Byzantine army yesterday.

Now I look at my RCW figures languishing in their box, and feel bad.  Oh, the shame.  Mind you, I had laid the groundwork for some rules of my own for the period, but hadn’t gotten too far as of yet.

I was especially impressed with your Siberian cossacks.  Nicely done!  You may yet inspire me to finish my RCW period!

Thanks Tony.

I find you have to go with what you feel painting like in the moment.  I certainly do.  Currently I’m motivated to paint some 7YW figures that I’ve neglected for years.  Once I’ve scratched that itch I’m doing more RCW, tchankas and artillery limbers and teams.

Good luck with your rules.
