More painted units fo muscovite forces

 Painted some more units and casualties + finally painted monks with cannon.

Stay tuned, more to come!

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).

You can get stl-files for these miniatures in my shop.

Stay tuned, more to come!

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!

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.

Despite some hiatus work on this project continues, stay tuned and 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!

And a group photo of all servant cossacks:

You can found stl files at my store.

Mounted servant cossacks and pack horses printed

 I've received first batch of printed cavalry models. Just undercoated them.

Unfortunately, models caught some dust while the paint was still wet, but you still can see how they look in reality:

Preview - Mounted servant cossacks and pack horses

Here am I with new update!

I want to announce next 2 sets that soon will appear in my store. These are mounted servant cossacks and pack steppe horses. Both use the same type of small "bahmat" steppe horses that were famous for their endurance and were extensively used by moscovite and tartar cavalry.

Mounted servant cossacks were not cavalry - in fact they usually acted like typical mounted infantry of the said period. Set consists of 4 different cossacks armed with matchlock firearms and some hand-to-hand weapons, including spears, sabers, knives and axes.

Pack horses pack (lol) includes 2 steppe horses with various saddle bags and can be used in your mounted or infantry units as well as on some headquarters and supply bases.

Stay tuned for more!

Preview - Servant cossacks with matchlocks

I've already shown some servant cossacks with melee weapons, but I'm also working on some guys that are equipped with matchlocks. Here is a small preview:

Stay tuned, more to come!

Painted Servant Cossacks - finished set

 Finished all 6 miniatures from the set. Here how they look like painted:

I used soft colors to show poor servant cossacks - only one guy in misyurka has expensive colored dress.

Painted servant cossacks with spears - first try

 Finally I took the brush and painted first 3 servant cossacks with spears from my collection. Cossack in misyurka helmet is an earlier print - now this model has visibly smaller head and more historically accurate size of said misyurka.

Stay tuned, more to come!

Preview - Servant cossacks attacking with melee weapons

 Another set of miniatures I am currently working on is "Servant Cossacks with melee weapons". 

These guys can represent pretty wide range of moscovite foot troops or various rebelling peasants and cossacks.

Here is a preview of first 2 miniatures:

As you can see, these lads are poorly dressed and armed. As I found out, iconic moscovite bardiche was a rare weapon in the first half of XVII-th century, not more than 10% of all melee troops and militias were armed with them and probably even less. Nonetheless I've decided to give that poor guy a bardiche so he looks more menacing.

Stay tuned for more updates.
