That is a really nice looking set. Personally, and I seem to be a minority on this, I much prefer figures in relaxed poses like this than in combat or patrol poses. These just look more lifelike to me than those in combat which seem to be frozen in place.

Miniart is doing great things. I'm glad the LHS in town are beginning to stock them.

Thanks for posting this news.

They look great - and on a site note, the artist that painted them is absolutly fantastic

Not being a Russian expert but is there anything about those figs that makes them artillery only? Can you use them as tankriders?

Mini-art continues to impress me.

Nothing whatsoever They are (once again) with a few minor detail changes, a set which will have a multitude of uses...

Agreed. They look great, and hopefully when I get them ... because I will be getting them ... I can make them look, half as good. Im one of those that can be inspired by the box artwork, and Miniart also do a great job here.
