Painted cossack ataman command base

 After a long pause I was finally able to print some of my last sets - muscovite command and boyar sons, so now I started to slowly paint them.

Here is a servant cossack (or Don or rebel cossack) ataman with his retinue, observing the battlefield (or another village they are going to pillage).

New release - Registered cossacks marching

I am happy to announce 1st regular set of Zaporozhian cossacks - Marching Registered Cossacks.

Set includes 6 figures of 15mm Zaporozhian cossacks in marching poses, armed with various types of snaphance flintlock muskets (some are held in leather and cloth cases), sabers and axes.

Figures are mostly based on amazing paintings made by Serhiy Shamenkov who made great research of cossack's dress and military organisation. All cossacks are dressed in typical Ukrainian peasants garments and boots, 2 of them also wear long cloaks, while 2 wear hungarian "menta" overcoat that was popular among Registered Cossacks at the beginning of the 17th century. 2 models are shown wearing fur hats in a strange manner (layed flat or worn upside-down) popular among Zaporozhians.

These models can represent Zaporozhian cossacks or Registered cossacks of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as well as Ukrainian Hetman's infantry of late 16th- early 18th centuries.

You can buy STL for these miniatures in my store.

Stay tuned, more to come!

Free Promo-set: Come get it!

Pleased to announce free set that starts new army for Eastern Rennaissance.

So, next army that I'm working on is Zaporozhian Cossacks - famous frontier warriors from the Ukrainian steppes, who through their long history participated in conflicts with all major forces in 16-17th century Eastern Europe. Sometimes they fought as allies of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth or (later) Muscovite tsardom, while sometimes rebelled and fought for themselves. 

First release is a small free promo set of 2x 15mm cossacks, mocking their enemies with insults and offensive gestures they were rather famous for. They did it to provoke enemies into loosing order and attacking cossacks (who often held fortified positions and waited for the charge). Also in this way cossacks strenthed their fighting spirit and demonstrated their will to fight. 

These 2 figures are dressed in typical Ukrainian peasants dress and crude boots, are armed with a polish-hungarian saber, axe, and a snaphance musket. They can represent either independent Zaporozhian Sich cossacks or Registered Cossacks, who fought in campains of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and received payment from the Crown (in theory, while in reality they often received nothing and rebelled). 

This set is released closely to the tragic date of February 24th and also is a small tribute to the stubborn heroic defence that Ukrainian people hold for 4 years day-to-day.

You can find stl files and download them for free in my store.

Showcase - muscovite casualties markers

Painted a batch of test printed muscovite casualties. Quality of these test prints is uneven but when based and painted they look quite nice.

These are from the servant cossacks casualties set that you can find in my store.

Stay tuned, more to come!

Showcase - more servant cossacks

Made 2 bases of muscovite servant cossacks. Because of large amount of misyurka helmets and chainmail on leader they look more like "private" cossacks of muscovite Stroganov merchant family who conquered Urals and Syberia for the tsar.

These are mostly snaphance armed cossacks printed from stls that you can buy in my store. Stay tuned, more to come!

Painted servant cossacks command

ART - Servant cossack

Never studied drawing but once one gifted person showed me some drawing tricks and I, at that time a schoolboy (I was fifteen, I think), started to draw almost every free minute I had.

But, unfortunately, there was almost 15-year hiatus, that I now want to finish and start painting again - this time these will be illustrations for the units I make for wargames and some arts for upcoming rulebook.

Here is a servant cossack, reloading his snaphance musket:

Teaser - Servant cossacks command set

Hello! Currently I'm working on the last Servant cossacks set, that will be a command set. 

Here is a teaser of 2 yesaul (junior commanders) models that I plan to include in this set.

Stay tuned! More to come!

Servant cossacks with snaphance muskets - ready to order

New set of shooty servant cossacks is ready to order.

Here you get 6 cossacks with early snaphance flintlocks that were the most popular type of handgun in moscovite tsardom at the end of XVI-th and at the first quarter of XVII-th centuries. They were heavy and unreliable with a weak small bullet, but also cheap to produce.

3 guys are made in kneeling poses so you can use them as some kind of scouts in Don or Ural cossack armies if you want. Moreover, these models can also be used to represent russian partisans of 1812 armed with obsolete firearms (need to mention that snaphance muskets were still in use for hunting at the start of XIX-th century in rural Scandinavia for example).

You can order this set here. Stay tuned, more to come.

Teaser - more servant cossacks

 We need more servant cossacks with early flintlocks!

Only 2 figures left before releasing Snaphance Servant Cossacks set. Stay tuned, more to come.

New set on the horizon!

 After a 2-month hiatus (I was studying and had no spare time) I return to sculpting.

Here I started new set - these will be servant cossacks with snaphance muskets of local moscovite fabrication. These were extremely popular firearms choice at the beginning of the 17-th century.

Stay tuned, more to come soon!

Servant cossacks unit painted and based

 A whole unit of servant cossacks based on 40x40mm bases! All the miniatures except esaul on foot are from sets of spearmen and matchlockmen.

Painted some of the old WIPs

 Remember these lads? These set is still a WIP, but I have painted test prints of these miniatures.

Stay tuned! More to come!

Servant cossacks with matchloks - release

 Finally this set is done and I'm proud to present 6 servant cossacks with various shooty sticks:

These guys are dressed in various types of moscovite civil dress armed with matchlocks and some sidearms, like sabers, axes, knives and morningstars. They can represent servant cossacks, moscovite rebels, Don or Ural cossacks. Also you can use them to represent poorly dressed town streltsy.

Here are some printed and painted examples:

You can now buy these cossacks in my store. Combined with cossacks spearmen you can make a wide range of formations.

Stay tuned!

Painted mounted servant cossacks

 Finally I've painted all mounted miniatures!
