Rebased Russians

Havent posted anything in a while now – our apartement is being renovated and we have been living with relatives for more than a month. No painting! But as I hadnt posted this pic yet I thought I might as well do it. Its the first of two 32-man battalions made from my old Warlord Games figures, painted more than 5 years ago I think. These were just lying around gathering dust anyway, and now they can be used with my Prussians. Based in this way they will take up much less space. As I didnt have an even number of matching figures, I had to paint 8 new ones, which is also good, because now almost all of the old sprues I had lying around are used up! Another battalion is on the way, it lacks only 4 figures.

I have even more WG Russians, and a few Perrys too, painted in the same style. However, those will need to be complemented with large numbers of new figures to make up 32-man units (they have different shakos…). There is also some cavalry which need only a few models more to make up useful units, and they are likely to be much easier to rebase as well. At the moment I will prioritize the unpainted stuff I have before buying more of these.
