Well the last of the Paraguayan infantry anyway. There will be some more Paraguayans to come, specifically artillery and mounted officers, but they have not been released yet.
Nonetheless here are the final two infantry battalions painted as militia - yes I know that in wargames terms “final” is a fictitious word, but this takes the battalion count to ten which is probably enough.
Look out for a parade of the Paraguayan contingent toward the end of the week.
New to the painting table are four battalions of Brazilian infantry to finish (there is that strange word again) the infantry of that army - artillery and officers exempted again.
Another cracking unit Mark and I'm looking forward to seeing them on parade:)
ReplyDeleteThat parade will be soon!
DeleteWOnderful figures, they look motivated and gorgeous, excellent job!
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil
DeleteAnother nice unit, hopefully you get the new releases you need to complete ( another funny word) these and the Brazilians.
ReplyDeleteBy all accounts the artillery and mounted officers will be available in a couple of months, so the project will go on hold for a while once the Brazilians are done.
DeleteYour latest recruits look very fine, Mark. “Finished?” Let’s see how long this armistice lasts before the next round of arms race begins.
ReplyDeleteI suspect that the armistice will last until after the first game...that is usually the case.
DeleteVery nice uniform colours Mark and your basing is lovely, as ever.
ReplyDeleteThat red coat is great to work with.
DeleteLovely toys Mark...
ReplyDeleteAnd a parade to look forward to...
All the best. Aly
Thanks Aly...said parade will take place on Friday.
DeleteMore lovely looking Paraguayan, bit more fun than the white coated Brazilians no doubt!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Indeed! The next lot of Brazilians will be in blue!
DeleteLovely work Mark. Yes, in wargaming parlance "finished" is only a temporary state of affairs, and usually lasts until you have a game ahead of you which requires just another two or three of a certain unit type.
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly what happened with my Crimean armies. After the first game I realised that the armies would not give me the game I wanted for eight players at Tarawera and promptly ordered another thirty battalions!
DeleteAt first I thought it was a new novel . . . great figures for a little known war.

All we needed was a South American Magwa!
DeleteThese 'last of the Paraguayans' look as great as the first! Superb yet again.
