ALY MORRISON'S "BUTTERFLY" ADVENTURES IN THE WORLD OF WARGAMES AND TOY SOLDIERS

Crimean War… Another rebased unit.

 Greetings…


Here is the latest of my rebased Crimean War units…

This time it is the French Guard Voltigeurs.




Another pleasing unit I think…

The epaulettes and shako pom-poms certainly add a nice bit of colour.

These were painted by the very talented Phil Robinson.


The Miniatures are of course by Great War Miniatures and Standards are from North Star Military Figures…


And the bases are as always Warbases…

I think it’s going to be slow and steady with these…the next units in line are a couple of battalions of Russian sailors…

All the best    Aly

    1. I think that the moustaches should give them a plus 1 in combat…
