So So far I only know of musketeerminiatures that have russian GNW figures in 28mm.

Warfare miniature have started on the GNW and they started with sweeds. Ebor to, (whole not avalable yet..) also started with sweeds.

I personaly felt russians were more needed, the musketeeer miniature sweeds are ok works just fine.
Their russians. Boring pose and only one of them.

I did start a GNW project, and it kinda fell into slumber, and want to re do it, I know warfare and ebor will fit togeather in style very nicely.

But both startnig with sweeeds. And both are small companies which means russians are far on the horizon..

@ GF

GNW: go plastic in 1/72 scale & discover that Zvesda covers both Swedish & Russian armies.


You can supplement them with Strelets if ou must.

The first three packs of Russians for Warfare are sitting on my workbench finished; they'll be enough for a regiment standing in line of battle. My guess is they'll be released by the end of summer.

Yes they also give me gas ;0d
I actually thought both had virtually the same troop types in general with the Russians having other more exotic troop types that TAG and G b can flesh out in 28 mm you can do a bit of morphine work on Wagames Factory plastics to get some nice GNW figures too.

Cheers GF all is not lost :)

I am using the Wargames Factory figures for my Russians. Same uniform. Inexpensive as well.

Cant you use WF plastic for Swedes too? – they have an option for trimming the flagpoles to pikes.

Come see my GNW game attack Historicon…28mm, variety of manufacturers…Old Glory, Reiver, Wargames Factory, Foundary…still trying to convince sash and saber to do GNW in 40mm

Reiver would be an option if they upgraded their website to accept orders rather than communicate by email, and accepted credit cards rather than just paypal.

"Reiver would be an option if they upgraded their website to accept orders rather than communicate by email, and accepted credit cards rather than just paypal."

I hardly think those two things disqualify them as an "option". I remember back years ago sending in my orders for figures via pen and paper through the regular mail. AND that was buying miniatures sight unseen based on catalog descriptions.

Reiver would be an option if they just made more human-looking figures, instead of orcs who look like they've been out shop-lifting in their winter coats.

And none of them have yet done Saxons.

@ Super Max;

Got to agree with you there! Plus they're HUGE! I actually melted down the ones I got as samples.
