Following hot on the heels of a post about sheep (mmm...) are the 1st Battalion, 23rd Regiment of Foot (Royal Welch Fusiliers), who were part of the 4th Brigade of the 4th Division of the Anglo-Allied forces during the Hundred Days campaign.
During a painting session last year I had painted up a base of figures with blue facings as a "spare" so I only had to do four stands to complete the unit, the "spare" is the one deployed on the right of the line.
The majority of the figures are from a box of the Perry Miniatures Plastic Napoleonic British Line Infantry set, but the mounted Colonel is from Brigade Games.
The pair of standards are from Flags of War and are very nicely done.
I usually have to do the skirmishers as an afterthought, but, must have been on my game this time as I remembered to do enough for a couple of bases while I was painting rest of the troops.
Here's some shots of a couple of the other bases, although I do see there is a cobweb that caught some of the varnish that needs tidying up.
We are playing another game of General d'Armee later today and these chaps will be getting their first blooding.
Top notch unit, truly superb Paul!
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil
DeleteSuperb looking regiment. Hope they fair well in their first game
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil, hopefully no newly painted curse
DeleteSplendid additions, really enjoying following the build up of your Napoleonic collection.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil, I think that it's likely now my biggest single collection and has overtaken the El Cid stuff.
DeleteSplendid looking unit. Nice use of a 'spare base.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteLovely stuff, nice work!
ReplyDeleteCheers Marcus
DeleteSplendid looking unit! Nice follow up to the sheep!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you Iain
DeleteLovely looking minis Paul!
ReplyDeleteThank you Michal
DeleteThey look great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter
DeleteThose are first class additions to your Napoleonic fest! Following the sheep a fine jest, unless one is Welsh of course. It's a shame Brigade Games figures are no available in the UK.
ReplyDeleteThanks David, I picked them up while I was living in the US and will add more on my return.
DeleteLovely toys Paul…
ReplyDeleteYou could spray your figures in a hermetically sealed room… and you would still find a hair or cobweb or some unnamable object attached to something…
It’s how the god of spray varnish work…😁
All the best. Aly
Thanks Aly, they are indeed capricious, I once "spray varnished" some finished Necromunda figures with black primer.
DeleteGreat looking figures and I too appreciated the "Welsh" joke. Despite living in New Zealand, our Welsh CFO still has to put up with our GM making sheep related jokes on a regular basis! Interestingly, one of many nicknames of the Black Watch (previously the 42nd Foot and now 3rd Battalion, Royal Regiment of Scotland (3 SCOTS)) is The Sheep Shaggers....
ReplyDeleteThank you, I used to live in Derbyshire so Sheep Shagger has also been applied here ;)
DeleteBeautifully executed Paul. A joy to view.
ReplyDeleteRegards, James
Many thanks James
DeleteAnother great looking regiment of foot, Scrivs. The mounted Bde Games figure looks perfect next to the Perrys.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dean, they do go well together
