Crimean War Units: Russian Infantry

Specially for John, here are two units of Hinton Hunt Crimean Russian infantry who could not be used as Napoleonic units.

I thought I had already posted pictures of these units - I remember taking the photos - but I can't find them anywhere.

Of course the timewarp works both ways and I expect my Napoleonic Russians in hat and greatcoats (the Der Krigspielers posted below) to appear in the Crimean ranks in return.

Russian National Contingent reinforcements

A bit of lateral thinking means that these Hinton Hunt Crimean Russian infantry in greatcoat and cap (RC 14 and RC 15) will now do double duty and serve as a reinforcement battalion to my Napoleonic Russian contingent. The officer, as with the Der Kriegspieler unit posted below, is a David Clayton conversion figure.

My Russian contingent is awaiting the painting of a second Der Kriegspieler Line battalion (the figures in the first photo here), a further battalion of Pavlov Grenadiers, and squadrons of Der Kriegspieler hussars and cossacks.

Crimean War Imperial Russian Infantry

There are eight Russian infantry figures in the range, five (including the two officers) in helmets, and three privates in caps.

The catalogue describes them in this way:

in spiked helmet and long great-coats (codes RC 1-7)
in soft caps and long great-coats (codes RC 14-17)
