A Few More Units off the Painting Table

I finally got around to finishing the bases on a number of units that have been passing out of the painting table in the last week or two.

First up is the 46th Regiment of Foot, the last of the British infantry for the Crimean War project. Still to come to complete the British Army are the remaining three regiments of the Light Cavalry Brigade. I had intended to complete these last month, but Great War have discontinued the hussars and light dragoons. I now need to find an alternative source, probably Foundry, which is a bit of a disappointment because I would have liked to kept the whole brigade made from the same manufacturer.


Next up is a regiment of Crimean War Russian line infantry. But this regiment us not complete, because I foolishly short ordered by two packs of line infantry so the other five stands (not shown here) still have a few gaps.


Then come the first of the Carlist Wars units. 


The Carlists...


...the Isabellinos...


...and the pack of priests and monks, that will find a place in the next batch of Carlists.


Two more Carlist Wars units are half complete, with three more units due to arrive next week.

    1. Yep. I need to get another 3 Russian infantry and 7 cavalry regiments and two French infantry regiments before the Tarawera weekend at the end of October. Truth be known, back in the day when I painted my original Franco-Prussian army in thecearly 1990's, I managed 28 figures a day!

    1. Thanks Phil. THe Carlist are really great to work with, but that footwear on the Carlist infantry is so difficult to make look right. Thankfully long grass helps conceal my poor work on them!
