Manny's third army, this time Moscovites.
As ever, he will add basing and flags later.
Starting with a Streltsy Regiment set

Not as elite as the previous troops I guess

Quite a lot of pike and shot

99 you say?
They just don't make adverts like they used to :D
I always liked the ... "where you truly wafted here from paradise?" " Naaa, Loooton airport" one myself (being a Luton boy ... not that I admit it in public of course): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuGUrUqHcSA
Nice colour innit?
That Streltsy unit looks the business! I remember one of them was described as wearing "raspberry" colored coats. Very sharp!
I'd have trouble fitting the concepts "renaissance" and "Russia" together.
Historically:
I did not use the term Russia, it was still emerging as a state from the Muscovy principate.
Culturally: I agree
Modern geopolitically: =O
Massive batch of 15mm Muscovites for Manny. With the new job, it has taken me ages. Again, he will base and add flags.

Finished off Manny's Muscovites (until he sends me more). Again, he will base them and add flags later.

Ten bases worth - Manny buys in bulk! They normally come in fours or sixes...

Suspect that's quite an expensive unit!
