Russian Lifeguard Cossacks
A few months ago I received a surprise package from Alan of ABC
Wargamers. Contained within was a variety of Minifigs cavalry, both S
Range and current range. One group of figures consisted of these rather
splendid Miniature Figurines Russian Cossacks, painted as a guard unit. There are seven
figures in the group and the painting is very nice indeed.

the figures have the most wonderful charm - enjoyed, thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Norm, I particularly like the officer figure with his rather pompous pose.
DeleteA fascinating unit to add. It reminds me of visiting the Guard Cossack exhibition in the Royal Army Museum in Brussels and of course it all began with the illustration in the Funcken book. Thanks for posting this.

This unit will be used to protect the HQ staff and will operate alongside my Pavlov Grenadiers.
DeleteThey are lovely Bob...
ReplyDeleteI may have to add this unit to my shiny collection....
All the best. Aly
They certainly beat the normal blue cossack uniform.
DeleteHi Bob. You have done them and me proud. Long may they fight on in the world of miniature battles.
