Retreat From Moscow
Test Model
First model for this project was a quick test to try out how I wanted to base the models. I went for an Old Guard Grenadier, partly because the uniform is very easy to find reference for, partly because I like the figure a lot. This model by the Perrys is clearly based on Faber du Faur’s work too.
Pretty happy with how the base turned out. I used Vallejo’s Dark Earth Texture followed by a light brush brush of Vallejo’s Off-White, and then added some Battlefield Snow by Army Painter.
I am very hyped for this game. It reminds me of ‘Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter’. It combines two of my favourite genres – gothic horror and napoleonics.
The game seems like a small ‘Kill Team’ of specialists taken from different unit types. I will wait though, until I get my hands on a copy before I start building some forces.
Nonetheless I will enjoy following your blog.
Thanks NR. The Perry figures just seem so suited for this that I couldn’t resist jumping in blind with no idea of what constitutes a playable faction. There’s three more Frenchmen on my paint bench at the moment, including a dismounted carabinier that I think fits the mould of a hardened monster hunter perfectly.
