Greetings…
I have been slowly rebasing this collection for a while…
See my earlier stuff here…

I decided while I was on a high after the rather positive Great Late Roman Rebasing project to get some more work done on my Crimean War collection… I shall keep chipping away at this in the background until it gets too painful or just boring 😁.
This time we have a couple of Russian Naval Battalions…
These originally started as a single unit of Armed Sailors but I decided to add more figures to represent additional Marksmen/Marines and bring them up to two Battalions.
I am very pleased how the mix of different uniform styles and colours has come out.
The Standards are from North Star…

And the bases are as always Warbases…

All the best Aly.
Very nice Aly you certainly can’t tell which are the added figures, 2 battalions seems about for a large unit like this 👍
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt…
DeleteThe Infantry regiments have four battalions… The naval units were formed from the men on the ships in Sevastopol harbour so were probably a bit more flexible size wise.
All the best. Aly
Strike while the iron is hot, so to speak. Good job on keeping the rebasing fire burning brightly. I had some Foundry lead arrive last week with some Crimean War Russians among the lot.
ReplyDeleteYes I thought I would keep going while I was on a roll…
DeleteThe Russians are also quite quick to paint if I need a few more men here and there…
All the best. Aly
Two fine looking units of seafaring types there Aly, splendidly re based up.
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil…

ReplyDeleteThank you Matt…

Now they look rather dashing, Aly!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray…
DeleteHopefully not dashing the wrong way if I command them…
All the best. Aly
They look good Aly - nice big solid targets for the British and French Minie rifled muskets!
ReplyDeleteThank you Keith…
DeleteHistorically accurate then…
All the best. Aly
They look wonderful and well worth the effort of re-basing:).
ReplyDeleteThank you Steve…
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Excellent stuff and timely too. It has given me an idea for another Roosian infantry battalion!
ReplyDeleteThank you David…
DeleteI look forward to seeing what you do.
All the best. Aly
Despite my proclivity for the more colorful uniform combinations, I do very much like the look of a unit in greatcoats: these are a nice advertisement of that sensibility: well done, indeed!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ed…
DeleteMixing the colours slightly between batches of figures helps give visual interest to the unit as well…
All the best. Aly
Fine work sir. I particularly like the chaps in the shorter jackets and the faces are full of character.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Stuart…
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Great looking Russian naval infantry!

Thank you Iain…
DeleteAll the best. Aly
They are lovely Aly...maybe I need some naval troops...
ReplyDeleteThank you Mark…
DeleteI’m surprised you don’t have any already…
All the best. Aly
Lovely figures. The white piping on their hats is outstanding.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bob…
DeleteI found that part the most difficult… There is a reason I like my Russians in helmets 😁
All the best. Aly
