I took the russian army for display at our gaming club this weekend, for a hobby contest, and posted some pics on my blog: link

Certainly got the 'quantity' right. |

Hmmm…Tau versus Russian Napoleonic army. My money is on the Russians kicking Tau butt.  Cool photos from the display. An eclectic mix of genres and miniatures. |

Great looking collection, for your batteries Empire uses 1 artilleryman to count for gun so my batteries have 12 figures and 4 gun models, wondering how your system accounts for it.
Often say 1/72 is way to go if starting out |

Wonderful. If I was to start over again, I think I'd go the 1/72 route. |

Really fab Mateus. Could we have some close ups of the Hussars sometime, I think I missed them before. |

Terrific in all respects. |

Really fab Mateus. Could we have some close ups of the Hussars sometime, I think I missed them before. Thanks, Timbo W. Here's the link to the blog posts of those units: Akhtyrsk Hussars

Thanks for the links Matteus, the Hussars are really top notch. Do you do the braids etc in orange first then highlight with yellow? |

Thanks for the links Matteus, the Hussars are really top notch. Do you do the braids etc in orange first then highlight with yellow? Timbo W, I use a layer of dark yellow, then a coat of wash (usually Citadel Seraphim Sephia), then highlight with light yellow. I find that this combination gives a level of contrast and depth I'm happy with. |

My batteries have 12 men on 4 stands, 2 figures on 2 different stands and 4 figures on 2 other stands. This gives me the option of making 6 gun 1/2 batteries. A couple at Borodino only had 1/2 batteries ( 1st Position and 4th light) |
