So for the OFCC tourney this year I decided to do a Russian themed army. While I love the Valhallans, there just wasn't enough variety in figures to make a full army to my taste, so I elected to add Vostroyans, making it an almost Tsarist themed army. Anyway, I have the initial scheme down, now just need to start painting in earnest. What follows is the first four that I've completed (save basing). I finally got the muscle memory to properly blend the white, although I need lots of practice still. C&C welcome and appreciated.

Looking good, the white works for winter flak. Good luck with the rest of the army!

Wow, awesome work! cannot wait to see more!

1. you've forgot to straighten a fusilier's fusil
2. did you really modelled them after Austrian Imperial Line Infantry?

They are def not in any standard colors. I kinda went Cossack themed, but I wainted them to have white coats to match the valhallans I haven't done yet. And yeah, the gun is crooked lol.I don't know how I didn't notice.

So after a pretty hectic week I managed to get the first two squads of the Vostroyans ready to paint, and finished a sarge. So here are the pics:

So that's all for now, next is to paint 'em up. My first Valhallan squad should be planetside any day now. More updates to come!

Finally got through an even number of men. Ten down, 95 to go. Still no full squad done, but they'll come. Still need to magnatize the HW teams. Anyway, on to painting some valhallans for a bit. Lemme know what ya'll think!

Very nice. I'm liking your choice of colours alot and look forward to seeing more.

all very nice for your Vostroyans! I cant wait to see your Valhallans

Been working on things, but not anything to 100% completion. Here is an update (all WIP):
