From Russia without love - Part 2: Five retreating Frenchmen painted

Some weeks ago I converted a couple of Victrix Old Guard Grenadiers for a skirmish game during Napoleon's retreat from Russia 1812 (older post here). Meanwhile they are finished more or less and I had the great pleasure to have them on the battleboard once. Since a friend of mine is working on a new ruleset for such games I participated in the first testing game.

However I'll have to add some minor details (e. g. the officer's buttons, some dirt...) but on the whole I like the result of my humble efforts with greenstuff:

The only thing I have to find a replacement for is the snow. I used Citadel Snowpowder and after several days it turned a bit yellowish-beige....

Having finished this quintet I'm really looking forward to lay my hands on  Perry miniatures I ordered recently. Hopefully they'll arrive tomorrow and the lot should include the two first sets of the twins. Meanwhile the released even more promising Frenchmen on retreat and I cannot wait to see Marbot's sleds available. There's a lot to come for Russia 1812. Have a look at their workbench here.
