'By Fire and Sword' Cossack Servants

Here's a couple of pics of  a unit of  'Cossack Servants' from the 'by fire and sword' range from wargamer.pl. the commander is from the Moloitsy set and the drummer is from the cossack command box.

I've now bought several different sets from this company and views on these figures are a bit a mixed on the bad side the metal is not the best, flash was awkward to remove on several casting and  five out of eighteen figures in this set either snapped during cleaning; or were broke on receipt. Also there appears to be a couple of different sculptors at work as there  are different styles and noticeable size differences between some of the figures in the same sets ; the cossack skirmishers and plastuny sets being two offenders. Nevertheless the bad points haven't put me off and there are several positives. The range is huge and continues to grow, the figures are very detailed , full of character and really capture the era well  and the newer figures appear to be improving in quality .

cheers Pete
