The Great Northern War

Its a while since these figures have been out of their boxes.  Swedish Infantry charging, as per usual, in a recent game we played using Beneath The Lily Banners

The first unit of Russians I painted, some 12 years ago, including hand painted standards. The units are based on 50 by 50mm bases with 3 bases per unit. Each base typically has 6 figures- although some do have more.
Cavalry units are 3 bases with 2 figures per base.

The Russian Battle line looks imposing but normally comes a cropper when faced by the fiesty Swedes.

Which goes in pike first, clearing the bridge, and leading the Swedes to victory.

Somewhere in the Indian sub continent the French come to grips with some rather nasty Indians.

Saxon infantry in the GNW let loose a hasty volley at some advancing Swedes. The plunging horse was made form a miscast Foundry figure

Its now 1756 and some Prussian Hussars are on patrol on the way to Lobositz

Meanwhile in North America Rogers Rangers tangle with some French and their indian allies.

GNW Flags

Here are a few GNW flags I did for my 28mm figures. You can change the colours of the Russian Infantry Flags using Paint so you can use them for any regiment.

 

A couple of pictures of my GNW figures in action including some of the flags I made.
