Old Glory WW1 Russian Casualties


Occasionally you still find pockets of the Internet that you just can't get any help on. One such challenge was trying to find suitable pictures of Old Glory's WW1 Russian Casualties.

When you click on the US or the UK web site you get the following.

Product ID: WWI-606
Russian Casualties


25mm scale - 10 figures
Price: $16.00
Google Images throw up no pictures..
So here they are...

Dust Tears & Dice bringing you Public Service wargaming.....






The sculpts need a little cleaning up and the faces lack the definintion of more recent manufacturers, but they do produce ranges with great depth.
But painted and based they will fit the bill and blend in nicely with the rest of my Russo-Japanese Collection.

What used to be a frustration has now turned into an obsession, over the years I had seen an increasing trend to move to blister packs of figures rather than single purchases, I understand the commercial reasons for this but there is always the occasion pack where you would get the odd sculpt you did not like or could not use, casualty figures used to be that pose, however since deciding on using these for shock point bases for the Too Fat Lardies rules, I have become a little obsessed seeking out the dead and the dying for all periods.


I found spotted these the other week from Front Rank Figurines, £1.80 a horse ans still available as a single purchase, they will certainly suit all periods.

  1. Public Service Broadcasting at its best! Very frustrating when you want to look at an image of a figure etc, but can't. I won't buy unless I can see what my hard earned pennies will get me.

      I have been working on a M&B variant on your Ammo rules following the exchange we had on the TFL site.

  4. Very good public service post!

    Sjwalker - you can get little dice holders from minibits (don't know if Stuart did for these though)

    1. It certainly was minibits,
      7mm, 10mm & 12mm, available together with plenty of colours.

  5. Thanks Stu - great minds think alike, order placed. I'm thinking that, as well as Shock markers, I could use others with ammo boxes on them to record units low on ammunition.

  6. It was seeing your casualty bases that got me started collecting the same thing for the same reasons.
    Cheers,
    Pat.

  8. Excellent, Stuart. They look really great. Finding dead horses for cavalry figures is a real challenge, I've found!
