Victrix Russian Deals and Pics

I have just seen a Victrix announcement of some deals for their early Russians and some news pics. They mention they have sent out their occasional newsletter, it will be up on their site in a couple of days, I still haven't signed up for their newsletter not because I am not interested in it, actually I am very interested, I just object to being forced to hand over my name and address to some website in order to simply get a newsletter, no excuse for it in this day and age IMHO, if I want to order from you direct then fair enough but otherwise my email should be enough for you, actually I do buy Victrix, just not direct, I generally go through Caliver or NorthStar.

Anyway, the painted Russians look great very tempting, if only ...... they had done late Russians, then these would go with their next up Austrians and the Perry/Warlord Prussians, that would have been perfect for 1813/1814 which is such a great period to game. Looking at the pics reminds me I have a couple of pots of Humbrol's Dragoon Green which I could never find a use for as it's too light (every now and then I paint something up in the color hoping it might look right, then strip them as reality sets in) but it looks a perfect match to the shade used on these Russian's. I really would like to buy these, just I don't feel inclined to start an early-Nap period especially one that's missing so many essential pieces with no guarantee they may ever get filled out enough to fight a battle.

Oh and stunning flags!!

To go nicely with our Russians, Steve of Victrix and Little Big Men Studios has produced 15 new Russian flagsheets. These follow the 1797 and 1803 Patterns - many of these flags were still carried in 1812 and 1813 by older established regiments.

For those who receive our newsletter, we sent out a really useful regimental facings color guide. We will be putting this on the site shortly.

We also just added the new French guard colonels and pioneers, and set VX0011 Napoleon's Old Guard Chasseurs to the three-, five- and seven-box deals. Also, we have added a new four-box French brigade deal to the multi-box deals. Check all the new releases and deals on the website.
