Back of Beyond: Philip’s Bolshevik Horde!

By | Published On: 3 March 2021 | Categories: Early Twentieth Century | 0.5 min read | Views: 202 |

Many of us are currently busy buying, organising, and painting our Back of Beyond armies for a campaign to be staged some time later this year. Philip and Rob are both fielding Bolshevik armies (among others).

Below are some photos of Philip Marshall’s Bolsheviks, painted by Chris Cornwell.

They are indeed enviably well-painted (sabot bases and commissar with loudhailer being a nice touch) with flags flying and scenic groundwork in particular tying the whole lot together!

But are they the world-beating vanguard of revolution or just ghoulish cannon-fodder for my ‘reactionary’ Poles?

We’ll see…
