RCW - Bolcheviks (1918 - 1920)

Hi...

This is my first post on this terrific forum...

I am preparing a bolchevik army (100% Peter Pig) in order to play a RCW Square Bashing campaign with Pierre "Camulogene" in our local club (in Brittany)...

So here are some few pics of my first 7 regiments of regular troops...

I enjoyed painting these figures very much as the sculpting is superb, with many different attitudes !!

I still have a lot of work to do. Next to come will be the command figures...

Welcome to the forum Anatoli. Your RCW armies look superb. I have played a good few games of RCW Square Bashing and also some Russo-Polish War. Very exciting games which gave me an opportunity to win against someone I rarely beat. He hasn't played Square Bashing for a while, but there is another Russophile in the club who is looking to build a Red Army to take on my Whites.

Lovely figures, Anatoli!

Maybe you can share some tips here on your painting technique?

Thank you for your welcoming...

I use a Brown primer (Citadel or Army painter) and mainly PA or Vallejo products (except for yellow and red colors : I prefer Citadel ones) ; then for the basing, I always add a little bit of black paint on every basing colors (except for flesh).

After having based my figures, I use 3 different Citadel inks for :
- flesh (Reikland flesh shade),
- uniforms (Seraphim sepia),
- weapons (nuln oil).

I then apply the basic color, without the black to lighten the colors.

I finish with a lot of linings (caps, vests) to highlight the figure...

I like very much this period of History and am glad there are people playing it on this forum... Do you have photos of your whites, Leman ?

The car is something of a stunner.

That car and passengers are very nicely painted. Well done.

Thank you...

- 1 cavalry regiment ;
- 2 elite regiments (Sotnya and sailors) ;
- 2 regular regiments ;
- 3 machine guns ;
- 4 guns (artillery) ;
- a few other things...
