Retreat From Moscow
Spectral Soldiers
The latest supplement to The Silver Bayonet has just been released. As suggested by the name, The Shades of Calabria has an undead focus, and North Star have again made a nice set of figures to accompany the expansion.
Whilst I think the new book is probably the best one yet, I am probably just going to adapt the campaign to the 1812 Retreat from Moscow. The French were forced to march back over their initial invasion route, revisiting Borodino amonst other locations and all the dead that they left behind as they pursued the Russians towards Moscow. It seems fitting to adapt a campaign based around bandits and unquiet dead to the retreat of the Grande Armee, harassed by Russian peasantry and cossacks as they try to escape back to friendly territory.
This set of spectral soldiers were very quickly painted using a few different layers of drybrushing over a dark base coat.
