15mm Wars In Chechnya Pt I, Eureka Miniatures Review

Being huge fans of Ostfront Publishing, Pierce and myself were excited when we found that Tom Jensen had written a set of rules for wargaming the Chechen Wars titled "Cornered Wolf". Giving the rulebook a skim it seemed that both of us could fairly quickly put together some 15mm forces to give it a go. 

I decided on Chechens, and was immediately pointed towards the range from Eureka. Our group has plenty of experience with their figures in 28mm, but it was my personal first foray into their 15mm lines. Needless to say, the figures themselves are just as fantastic as their 28's.

As they arrived.

As usual, very impressed with the stuff from Eureka. The figures contained little to no flash, are hefty for 15mm, have small tabs that are easy to hide on the base, and priced very well. After looking at tons of photos from the fighting in Chechnya, it's super impressive to see such a high level of detail and accuracy that went into this miniature line - especially for a lesser known conflict. 

To supplement this force, I'll be adding in some miniatures from Khurasan, specifically their Syrian/Hezbollah group which can easily be used as Chechens. Keep in mind that if you're in the US, Eureka has a US partner as well, which is where we ordered from.

We'll be posting some further paint & terrain guides for this project soon, and eventually a review for Cornered Wolf when we've given it a few playthroughs. In the meantime enjoy some primed Chechens ready for painting (and neglected Dwarves) on the work bench.
