I thought it was time to add a cavalry unit to my 'White' forces. As I had already done some infantry for the Markov officer battalion, I thought it only appropriate to add their attached cavalry. These were Kuban cossacks, dressed in their own particular style. As their uniform details are rather sketchy it gave me a little bit of freedom, keeping with the dark grey coats with a couple in a light grey. I did add the black shoulder boards to tie them into the infantry. The figures are all from Copplestone Castings. I must say the excessive flash on the figures took a while to clean up, kind of initially put me off completing them. Pleased I completed them though.
All that I left for this collection is 2 HMG teams, 1 for the Whites and 1 for the Reds. I need to get them put together and done as I'm planning a large club game with the collection in the next couple of weeks.
Despite any trouble in figure prep, the result is good and they are off your workbench. Congratulations on pressing through the challenges.

DeleteFlash and cleaning up is a pain. You did a good job prepping, and the figures look great, love the grey. Copplestone figures are a treat.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteGreat for me sir!

DeleteAn excellent looking unit Neil.

DeleteThey look good (if that can truly be said of Cossacks!), and a much needed mounted arm for the collection!

DeleteIn my experience, flash is an unusual problem with Copplestone....hopefully you were just unlucky and got a bad batch! As always, they look great once painted and based.
ReplyDeleteHopefully it was just a bad batch. Though it's put me off more cavalry for now
DeleteNicely done I wish I had some more RCW cavalry but it will have to wait
ReplyDeleteCheers Matt, me too. May look at Reiver Castings for some alternatives
