Royal Welch Fusiliers

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.
